Ballybetagh House

Nestled behind timeless granite walls and grand wrought iron electronic gates, Ballybetagh House reveals itself at the end of a majestic tree-lined avenue, set amidst approximately 12 acres of enchanting grounds. This distinguished Georgian estate, with origins dating back to 1630, offers a harmonious blend of historical grandeur and modern sophistication. Every corner of this magnificent family residence reflects quality and style, with an impeccable attention to detail in the extensive redesign, extension, and restoration efforts by the current owners. The exquisite interiors span approximately 445 sqm (4,789 sqft), showcasing period features, lofty ceilings, and elegantly proportioned rooms.

A central courtyard, adorned with a soothing water feature, seamlessly connects to the cut stone granite Mews and the Stable Yard, complete with six loose boxes and workshops. The grounds themselves are a sanctuary of beauty, with half an acre of formal gardens, extensive patios, a dry stone walled orchard, and a tranquil meditation path meandering through woodland walks to a serene lake with a charming footbridge.
