Carewswood, Castlemartyr

A Georgian Country Estate of Rare Distinction in the Heart of East Cork.

Approached via a sweeping tree-lined avenue of over one kilometre, Carewswood House is a magnificent Georgian residence dating from the early 1800s, privately set within approx. 3 acres of mature gardens and woodland. Exuding refined character and timeless architectural grace, this two-storey over basement period home has been impeccably maintained and sympathetically enhanced to accommodate modern family living.

Spanning approx. 4,825 sq.ft., the residence combines elegant reception rooms, generous bedroom suites, and a series of beautifully proportioned spaces throughout, including a sun-drenched garden room, games room, and bespoke kitchen. The estate also includes a charming one-bedroom Gate Lodge, positioned at the entrance, offering additional guest or staff accommodation.
Here a koi pond, classical fountain, and sun-soaked courtyard complete the picture, evoking the charm of a private retreat.

Carewswood House is located just 10km from Midleton and 32km from Cork City, offering an exceptional standard of privacy without sacrificing connectivity to services, schools, and transport links.
