The story

Baile an Doire, the townland of the oak trees

The house was built c.1740: a small, well-proportioned Georgian country house, recorded today in the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (reg. no. 30408613).

The Comyn family farmed the estate, known for its horses and hunting, and bought the freehold in 1871. They stayed until 1945. The house then stood empty and fell derelict.

From 2000, George and Susie Gossip began a painstaking restoration, reversing Victorian alterations to the façade and panelling the principal rooms in the early-18th-century style. The family moved in by 2005.

In 2024 Rowan and Laoise became the latest custodians and opened the whole estate for exclusive use.

The estate’s story is told on the Call of the Curlew YouTube channel. Watch Call of the Curlew
