Description
Geashill Castle, named after the adjacent ruined home of Lord Digby's of Sherbourne agent, is an imposing structure set behind magnificent boundary walls. It is a robust and finely executed building with attractive stonework. The battered base to the rear is a most intriguing feature. Steeped in history this site, including ruins of former Geashill Castle and the boundary walls, is an important element in Geashill's heritage.
Detached six-bay two-storey over basement former guest house, built c.1870 and burned c.1922, with extension having carriage arch opening to façade is now used as a private house. Set within its own grounds. Pitched modern tiled roof with rendered chimneystacks. Roughly dressed random coursed limestone walls with tooled stone plinth, quoins, cornice and opening surrounds. Tie-bars to rear walls with stone and red brick batter base. Segmental-headed openings with tooled stone surrounds and replacement windows and door. Door to basement in south-east elevation. Ruins of former Geashill Castle to side. Site bounded by random course rubble stone wall with modern entrance gate.
The breathtaking Geashill Castle dates back to the 1870s, and is the former home of the 11th Earl of Kildare, and later Baron and Baroness Digby.
Geashill is a village in County Offaly, Ireland. It is situated between the towns of Tullamore & Portarlington on the R420 regional road. Geashill has a Church of Ireland, a shop, petrol station, a post office, GAA club and two public houses.
Geashill castle is a fully functioning family home, newly rebuilt with double wall construction and internally insulated in 1995.
