If you're still dreaming of living your own Kate Middleton fantasy then maybe it's not too late, as a stunning stone castle has gone on sale in Co Limerick.
Heathfield House, located in the picturesque village of Kilmeedy, boasts an impressive tree-lined driveway on a 1.5-acre site.
Although this house was built in modern-day, its design mirrors an 1800s castle with the owners taking inspiration from the old lime kiln built into the slope of a mountain in 1824.
The kiln has been refurbished into a professional-sized snooker table room with a fuel stove keeping the space snug and warm.
No guillotine and outhouses like your olden day castles here though; Heathfield has a waterfall, a golf driving range, a cellar and a rooftop terrace instead- that's much better if you ask us!
The five-bed, six-bath property includes one room with a jacuzzi bath while the remaining bedrooms are fitted with en-suite/wet room showers and false wall walk-in wardrobes.
As you enter the property, you are greeted by a showstopping circular reception area that leads to all of the main reception rooms.
The magnificent spiral staircase and hall is adorned with a stunning feature crystal chandelier, while the main kitchen-come-dining-come-living area boasts a granite-topped breakfast bar and island counter.
The kitchen is very much the heart of the home and integrates the garden beautifully through French-style double doors leading out to the beautifully landscaped garden.
The extravagant and luxurious home is in perfect condition and boasts a highly energy-efficient underfloor heating and even has an intercom system, sound system and recessed lighting.
The home is just as impressive on the outside as it is on the inside with impeccably manicured gardens, nestled at the edge of woodlands.
On the top floor of Heathfield, the open plan space is used as an office which also has access to the roof terrace showcasing outstanding views of the surrounding countryside.
Nature lovers will be thrilled to own a home that backs onto Ballinruane Woods with two trail walks showcasing stunning views over Ballyhoura, the Golden Vale and the Galtee Mountains.
If you are looking for a shorter walk, there is also a stunning stroll that leads to a spectacular view overlooking bordering counties Clare, Limerick and Tipperary.
Located in west Co Limerick, with Adare and Newcastle west both roughly 15km away, this home is the perfect hideaway from today's hectic world.
