Stepping out of the shadows of Monkstown’s restored castle
Set just across the Monkstown demesne access lane from the hugely restored castle, the Coach House is an appealing, manageable buy with some pretty impressive neighbours, some very new, other very, very old. How old? Try four centuries.
It comes up for sale as a means of funding the further phases of restoration and conversion of the original 1636 castle: the castle was reportedly built for one groat or four pennies, after its wily owner Anastacia Archdeacon (nee Gould) charged its building crew for their food, accommodation and other provisions.
