Cloughjordan House

Cloughjordan House is a private residence in Cloughjordan, County Tipperary, Ireland. Built on the site of a tower house that was extended in the 17th and 18th centuries. The present house comprises a central two storey five bay section flanked by two gable fronted sections.

The grounds contain the remains of a moat and extensive farm buildings from the 19th and 20th centuries.[1]

Records from the walled nursery garden[2] have been transferred to the archives of the National Botanic Gardens (Ireland).[1]

Still privately owned the house is occasionally open to the public by prior arrangement and is (info August 2012) the location of a cookery school, wedding venue, event destination and B & B accommodation. Concerts are held here during Cloughtoberfest the annual Gypsy Jazz and Irish craft brewing festival.[3][4]

The property is listed on North Tipperary County Council’s record of protected structures (ref S456 & S458)[5]
