As it stood in 1836
The shape it held in its prime.
A small 19th-century castellated country house set in pasture at the foot of a wooded slope, built of light-coloured stone and extended with four square towers added in 1836. The principal block is two storeys with tall Tudor-style windows and a symmetrical frontage flanked by towers; low outbuildings sit to one side. Trees and hedged fields enclose the site and a line of woodland rises immediately behind the house.
Its story
The story of Killevy Castle.
Killeavy Castle began life as a country farmhouse, built for the Foxall family between 1810 and 1820 and later designed to resemble Gosford Castle in Markethill, also in County Armagh. In 1836 the Foxalls commissioned the architect George Papworth to add four towers, outbuildings and Tudor-style windows, giving the house its castellated form.
By 1881 the castle had come into the ownership of the Bell family, where it remained until the death of Maureen Bell in 2000. Since sold at auction for £1.19 million, the Grade A listed building was granted £1 million by Invest Northern Ireland for restoration, with plans announced in 2013.
