诺克辛城堡，穆林加，韦斯特米斯郡，爱尔兰
一座壮丽的18世纪哥特式复兴城堡，雄伟地坐落在约500英亩（202公顷）的连绵起伏的公园内。报价超额部分500万欧元。
诺克德林城堡（Knockdrin Castle）是19世纪上半叶在爱尔兰建造的风景最美的城堡式乡村别墅之一。这座城堡是由理查德·莱文（Richard Levinge）爵士[1785-1848]建造的，他委托建造了大约1010年的哥特式复兴风格的城堡住宅。花园里还保留着16世纪的中世纪遗体，据认为可以追溯到1550年。
Knockdrin最引人注目的功能是由雕花橡木制成的顶灯楼梯，就像整个城堡的门一样。中央玻璃穹顶提供充足的自然光。精美的一楼画廊装饰有槽形竖井和环绕墙壁的一系列鹅掌形壁ni。一楼的接待室包括接待厅，客厅，餐厅，宴会厅和图书馆。城堡内的住宿面积约19,375平方英尺，提供7间主要卧室（总共12间），其中包括独立战争期间英国首相温斯顿·丘吉尔爵士住过的王室卧室（他的父母是该庄园的定期狩猎游客） 。 4个房地产旅馆完成住宿。
在爱尔兰独立战争[1917年至1921年]中，穆林加尔和都柏林之间的铁路线遭到轰炸，无法使用。当地据称，住在诺克特林城堡的温斯顿·丘吉尔出现在当地车站，要求去都柏林。据说当地警察告诉他这是不可能的，丘吉尔对此回答说：“我不认为你知道我是谁”。据说警察对此回答很聪明：“即使您是车站长官的儿子，我们也无法带您去都柏林。”
在整个城堡外，风景如画的丘陵也以引人入胜的起伏地形而著称，其中包括高产的耕地带，商业林地和大湖[Lough Drin]，湖畔茶馆的足迹依旧可见。
整个庄园扩大到约500英亩（202公顷），其中包括：耕地160英亩（65公顷）；林地250英亩（101公顷）；湖泊中有80英亩（32公顷）的土地，其余约10英亩（4公顷）的土地包括城堡，附近的花园和农庄。毗邻庄园的其他土地可能多达680英亩（275英亩），可以额外购买。同样，也可以考虑在更少的土地上出售城堡。
地点风景如画，未受破坏，但都柏林市中心和都柏林国际机场均很容易到达，车程约60分钟。到最近的十字路口只需5分钟的车程，可轻松到达M4高速公路。 Mullingar的大镇距离Knockdrin约有10分钟车程。较小的城镇Castlepollard和Cloughan分别距离酒店约有15分钟和8分钟的车程。 Crookedwood村距离酒店有2.2英里（3.6公里）。庄园附近有一个加油站，里面有一个小杂货店和报摊店。
Knockdrin城堡被认为是爱尔兰第一座同时具有中央供暖（基于热空气的系统）和电力的房屋。得益于大约50年前的重大升级，并且由于Knockdrin Castle的结构处于良好的维修状态，因此维护良好，但是随着时间的流逝，需要进行升级。
诺克德林城堡（Knockdrin Castle）提供了绝佳的机会，可以收购爱尔兰最重要的城堡之一。

KNOCKDRIN CASTLE, MULLINGAR, COUNTY WESTMEATH, IRELAND
A splendid 18th-century Gothic Revival Castle majestically positioned within a rolling parkland estate. Quoting €3.5 million to include some 350 acres [142 hectares] but with up to 1,180 acres [477 hectares] available.
Knockdrin Castle is one of the finest picturesque castellated country houses built in Ireland during the first half of the 19th Century. The castle was built by Sir Richard Levinge [1785-1848], who commissioned building the Gothic Revival style castle residence circa 1810. Within the gardens there is also the remains of a Medieval 16th-century tower Castle, thought to date to circa 1550.
A most striking feature at Knockdrin is the top-lit staircase made of carved oak, like the doors throughout the castle. An abundance of natural light provided by a central glazed dome. The elaborate first floor gallery is decorated with fluted shafts and a sequence of ogee-headed niches around the walls. Reception rooms on the ground floor include a reception hall, drawing room, dining room, ballroom and library. The accommodation within the castle extends to some 19,375 square feet and provides 7 principal bedrooms [12 in total], including the Crown Bedroom where British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill stayed during the War of Independence [his parents being regular hunting visitors to the estate]. 4 estate lodges complete the accommodation.
In the Irish War of Independence [1917 to 1921] the rail line between Mullingar and Dublin was bombed and was out of commission. It is locally alleged that Winston Churchill, who was staying at Knockdrin Castle, turned up at the local station demanding to go to Dublin. A local policeman is said to have told him this was not possible, to which Churchill replied ‘I don’t think you realise who I am’. To which the policeman is said to of wittily replied ‘Even if you were the Station Masters son we could not get you on a train to Dublin.’
The picturesque is also celebrated beyond the castle with an attractive undulating topography throughout the estate, which includes belts of productive agricultural lands along with commercial woodland and a large lake [Lough Drin], where the footprint of a lakeside Tea House is still visible.
In all the estate extends to some 1,180 acres [477 hectares] comprising circa 630 acres [255 hectares] in agricultural lands and 450 acres [182 hectares] in woodland, with the balance of circa 100 acres comprising lake(s) and the gardens and farmstead. A sale of the castle on less lands or the entire will be considered.
The location is picturesque and unspoilt but easily accessible with Dublin city centre and Dublin International airport each within driving times of about 60 minutes. The M4 motorway being easily accessible with a driving time of 5 minutes to the nearest intersection. The large town of Mullingar is about a 10 minute drive from Knockdrin. The smaller towns of Castlepollard and Cloughan are about a 15 and 8 minute drive away respectively. The village of Crookedwood is 2.2 miles (3.6 km) away. Adjacent to the estate is a Petrol Station which has a small grocery and newsagents shop.
Knockdrin Castle is thought to be the first house in Ireland to have both central heating [a hot air based system] and electricity. Benefitting from major upgrading some 50 years ago and well maintained since Knockdrin Castle is structurally in good repair but, given the passage of time, requires upgrading.
Knockdrin Castle represents an excellent opportunity to acquire one of Ireland’s premier and sizable castle estates.
