Knocklofty House, Georgian country house in Clonmel, Ireland
The property includes a seven-bay three-storey central block with additional wings, featuring sandstone copings and ball finials on the exterior walls.
The construction of Knocklofty House began around 1790 under the commission of Richard Hely-Hutchinson, who later became the first Earl of Donoughmore.
The interior contains a double-height library with a wrought-iron gallery that overlooks gardens descending toward the River Suir through terraced steps.
Located 6.5 kilometers from Clonmel via the R665 regional road, the building stands vacant as of 2022 under management of Cerberus Capital Management.
In 1974, the house gained international attention when its residents, the seventh Earl of Donoughmore and his wife, were kidnapped and held for four days.
