Castle Leslie Estate - Village Houses, Glaslough, Co. Monaghan, Ireland

A UNIQUE LOCATION: Light, space and water make a property in the picturesque village of Glaslough a truly unique opportunity. Creating a natural extension to the existing village, the Castle Leslie Village Houses are ideally located to take advantage of the many local amenities and the unique village community. Living in Glaslough is not just an address but a way of life.

OVERVIEW: The Village Houses are set within the grounds of the Castle Leslie Estate, adjoining the attractive village of Glaslough in Co. Monaghan. The Estate is 18 km from Armagh, which is approximately an hour and a half’s drive from Belfast and Dublin.

Castle Leslie was designed by Sir Charles Lanyon in 1870 for John Leslie, M.P., afterwards 1st Baronet. The 2nd Baronet married Leonie Jerome, a sister of Lady Randolph Churchill, and Winston Churchill stayed on several occasions. The house is now an award-winning hotel, which hosted Sir Paul McCartney’s wedding in June 2002.

The 1,000 acre estate adjoins a large picturesque lake and encompasses not only the village of Glaslough but also a first-class equestrian centre, with sixty stables, indoor and outdoor arenas, all-weather rides and a cross-country course containing 250 fences. There is also a renowned Cookery School and Health Spa. Click on the illustrations below
