Georgian Country Mansion: Westmeath

Bishopstown House is a three-storey Georgian house built in the early 1800s by the Casey family.

After being left fall into a dilapidated state, the stud farm and house was purchased by Paddy and Claire Dunning, the owners of the award-winning Grouse Lodge Recording Studios and Coolatore House and members of the Georgian society. It was restored to its former glory in 2009 and is now available for rent.

The traditional Georgian country kitchen at Bishopstown is a beautiful place to cook, eat, unwind and entertain in. Featuring dozens of period items such as a beautiful Aga Range cooker (which gives 24 hour warmth), the kitchen also contains many modern features such as an American-style fridge, standard gas oven, microwave and more besides. The centrepiece of the kitchen is a spacious kitchen island. With ample storage, and plenty of equipment the kitchen can cater for any size of group. It leads onto a well-stocked scullery, or back kitchen, which features a washing machine, storage space and even a second oven.
