Lodge with big appeal

The charms of No 4 Coolmore Lodge have not been lost on flocks of house-hunters intent on a new pecking order, writes Tommy Barker.

WHATEVER social pecking order connotations there may have been about living in a lodge on a landed estate, well, they’re well and truly banished at No 4, Coolmore Lodge.

One of eight, limestone-built estate lodges by the formal gate entrance to the still-grand and stately Coolmore House, most but not all eight have been upgraded down the years by a succession of appreciative owners. In fact it all seems quite posh.
