Equestrian property beckons fans from all around the world

An article by Kildare Nationalist from October 27 has revealed that the 200-year-old Waterloo House in Mallow, Co Cork has hit the market for €2 million. The estate comes with equestrian facilities as well as a Gothic lodge. According to the article, the main attraction of the property is its “six-bed Georgian country home with 619 square metres of living space dating back to circa 1815.”

The estate is spread over 52 acres and includes a “68 square metre gate lodge with its castellated turret, as well as a self-contained apartment measuring about 51 square metres.” The lodge has an open area that’s shared as the living-room-cum-dining-room-cum-kitchen, and a shower room. The two rooms on the floor above are connected via a spiral staircase, enhancing the attraction of the building.

Along with the original plasterwork and cornicing of the reception area, the sprawling gardens, grounds, and luxurious amenities, the estate also houses several stables to satiate the needs of equestrian fans. An indoor arena also provides a space where the equine stars can be trained and kept in shape. However, the Waterloo House isn’t the only option for equestrian fans who want to live in a lavish estate.
