From here there is access to an impressive curved sitting room with feature fireplace and stunning views out over the river, the rolling countryside and Slievenamon. Further accommodation on the ground floor is an office/study, drawing room, bar and storage hall, closets and entertaining utilities as well as a guest toilet. The feature staircase leads down to the lower ground floor and a connecting hallway that features a storage room and hot press.
