A true Georgian classic Irish house lovingly restored over the past forty years by its current owners. Set amidst mature gardens and rolling Kilkenny countryside, this elegant stone-built home embodies timeless character and architectural symmetry. Originally constructed in 1722, the property has retained much of its original character while benefiting from sensitive renovations that blend period detailing with modern comfort. Steeped in centuries of heritage and surrounded by beautifully designed formal Italianate gardens, Ballysallagh represents an exceptional opportunity to own a distinguished piece of Irish history.
