Located on the outskirts of Armagh City, Gosford Castle is a stunning 19th-Century Gothic Revival castle that has just hit the market.

The castle comes with hundreds of years of Irish and British history, as it was constructed between 1819 and 1825. The castle was built for Archibald Acheson, a prominent figure in British and Irish politics, and was designed by renowned architect Thomas Hopper.

In the early 20th century during the Second World War the castle was requisitioned by the military and was used to house troops.

In most recent years the castle gained international fame when parts of it were used as a filming location for the popular television series "Game of Thrones." It featured as Riverrun, the ancestral home of House Tully.

The property lies within the walls of the prestigious Gosford Castle and is located on the grounds of Gosford Forest Park. The park offers beautiful surroundings, featuring a herd of red deer, arboretum, walled garden, two mill ponds, five children’s play parks, many walking and cycle paths and a host of flora and fauna. Gosford Forest Park is located only a 10-minute drive from Armagh City, 15 minutes from Newry, 50 minutes from Belfast and 70 minutes from Dublin.

With two double bedrooms and an abundance of space to facilitate more, the property offers unique spacious living conditions and in terms of finish there is no property available on the market to rival it. While the property is fully renovated, special care and attention has been taken to maintain the integrity and historical background befitting of this fantastic building.

The stunning castle is listed on propertynews.com for £625,000, equivalent to just under €740,000.
