Clonearl, Daingean, Co. Offaly, R35E283

A distinctive, one of a kind property with a unique mix of a Period Residence with stone walled paddocks, stables & courtyard all encompassed within a large C.3 acre site. The property once belonged to the Clonearl estate built by William Henry Magan back in 1820. It's noted in a book published by the famous travel writer of the time Brewer that ‘Clonearl was one of the finest demesnes to be seen in the country' (Byrne 1984). 'The marriage of William Henry Magan, rather grandly known as 'The Magnificent' of Clonearl to the heiress Elizabeth Georgina Loftus of Killyon Manor, Co Meath cemented one of the great Irish family fortunes. Not only did they have their own two mansions, but together they owned 20,000 acres in Westmeath, Offaly and Shankill, Co Dublin'. (Collins 2016). This is a wonderful opportunity to buy into a piece of this rich Irish history. Will you be the next ‘Magnificent of Clonearl'? The courtyard to the rear of this house was most likely the stable yard for Clonearl House. To the rear of the stables is a stone walled paddock enclosed on all sides. It's a property with multiple future possibilities. One could envisage it being a destination for private wedding ceremonies, special events or outdoor pursuits*. The opportunities at Clonearl are endless, all you need is some imagination, the structure is already in place. The current owner has lovingly restored and cared for many aspects of the property, with repairs carried out to the slate rooves of the stables and the installation of new stable doors which certainly add to the character within the courtyard to the rear of the house. The house dates back to 1820's we informed and would have formed part of the Clonearl estate.
