DESCRIPTION
Magorban is a beautifully proportioned Georgian manor house, which has recently been painstakingly renovated and restored to its former glory. The house is approached from a quiet and picturesque country road, through stone pillars and a hedged wall up a sweeping tree lined, stud fenced avenue. A most distinctive country home, it sits centrally in c.18.4 acres of good quality pasture and mature woodland. Entering the ground floor through half stable doors there is a spectacular country kitchen, utility and study and a cozy sunroom which leads to the gardens. The reception rooms and bedrooms are bright and benefit from the all day long sun. They are further enhanced by their pleasant proportions and splendid views of the surrounding area including the Comeragh Mountains and the much fabled Slievenamon.
The house is well placed for a variety of sporting activities. For the fishing enthusiasts you have the nearby Clashawley River and River Suir. The property stands in the famous Tipperary Hunt Country, with Kilkenny and Waterford Foxhounds nearby. Clonmel race course is approximately 20 minutes away. There are many top-class golf courses in the area including Thurles, Clonmel, Mount Juliet and Faithlegg and nearby to the vibrant Slievenamon Golf Club. Clonmel and Cashel are both busy shopping and commercial towns and provide all the requirements of everyday living. There are excellent schools close by including Rockwell collage and Glenstall Abbey
HISTORY
This beautiful Georgian residence was originally built in 1801and was completely refurbished in the last four years to an exceptionally high standard. The property is located in an area steeped in history. Fethard is the local town that has been described as the ‘most important medieval small town in Ireland'. The impressive surrounding town walls which can still be seen today exemplify this. The town is also internationally known in the Thoroughbred horse racing industry as the home of Coolmore Stud and is thus situated in the heart of the horse racing community. Six miles away is the town of Cashel, home to the historic Rock of Cashel, the seat of the Kings and Medieval Bishops for 900 years.
