Behind the remaining giant portico of the last great Loughcrew House, built in 1821 by Charles Cockerel and destroyed by fire in 1959, lies what is known as “The Orangery”. Originally built to house large plants and palms and necessary furnaces it is essentially an enormous long room with a wing at each end. The long room provides a fine drawing room and the east and west wings accommodate the kitchen, utilities, bedrooms and bathrooms. This is an amazing house, well equipped and beautifully furnished and decorated by its artistic owner. To the south you look out to the giant portico and surrounding fields. A very short drive will take you to both the Loughcrew Historic Gardens and the monolithic tombs known as the “Loughcrew Cairns”.

St. Malo is in north west France, on a peninsula between the sea and the Rance estuary. Les Tranchandieres is a seriously large house built in 1714 by one of the more adventurous French privateers, buccaneers and explorers. The house has a dramatic high roof and tall chimneys, while some of the rooms are up to 4.5 metres high. An important feature of the house is the solid oak staircase, some 350 years old, which winds nearly five feet wide all the way up. The sea and beaches are on three sides of the house and the surrounding country is beautiful with numerous attractive small towns and villages nearby. There are good sandy beaches, resorts and plenty of activities to see and visit.
