Baltrasna House

Baltrasna House is a distinguished late Georgian/early Victorian country residence, built circa 1840 and situated on approximately 6.6 acres (2.67 hectares) of landscaped lawns, mature woodlands, and historic walled gardens near Ardee, Co. Louth. The property, spanning about 8,000 square feet across three elegantly appointed levels, has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully restored, blending period grandeur with contemporary comfort. Its classical exterior features graceful bay windows, a stately pillared portico, and sweeping granite steps, creating a commanding sense of grandeur. The home’s magnificent drawing room/ballroom, which hosted a grand assembly in 1875, remains a testament to its storied past and continues to evoke the splendour of a bygone era.
The entrance hall impresses with a grand sweeping staircase beneath a glazed cupola that floods the space with natural light. Principal reception rooms showcase period refinement, with soaring ceilings, intricate plaster cornices, centre roses, ornate marble fireplaces, and glittering crystal chandeliers. The drawing room, originally designed as a ballroom, is distinguished by three expansive windows and twin marble mantelpieces. Both the formal dining room and sitting room mirror this elegance, making the home exceptionally well-suited for entertaining on a grand scale. The main kitchen combines heritage with modern craftsmanship, featuring bespoke cabinetry, fine detailing, and original timber floorboards, with a guest bathroom and adjoining storage providing direct access to the extensive gardens and pool area.

The first floor offers five beautifully proportioned bedrooms, each with unique character and serene garden views. Several rooms are graced by original marble fireplaces, deep-set sash windows, and ornate cornicing, enhancing the Georgian grandeur. Four bathrooms on this level are thoughtfully designed with roll-top baths, timber panelling, antique fittings, and authentic Victorian sanitary ware. A generous central landing, illuminated by a glazed atrium, creates a graceful flow between rooms, and a home office with a feature window overlooks the pool and orchard.

The basement provides a relaxed yet captivating living space, with a country-style second kitchen rich in rustic charm, classic Stanley oil-fired cooker, ceramic Belfast sink, handcrafted timber cabinetry, and characterful tiled walls. This level also includes a sixth ensuite bedroom, a spacious utility room, boot room, wine cellar, playroom, and a dedicated bar and games room—ideal for informal entertaining—accessed via a second staircase servicing the upper floors.

The grounds of Baltrasna are equally impressive, approached via a picturesque tree-lined avenue leading to a generous gravel forecourt. Meticulously maintained gardens feature expansive lawns, mature rhododendrons, flowering shrubs, and rare tree specimens. A traditional walled garden houses a working orchard, greenhouse, and vegetable beds. The pool and BBQ area is a true outdoor sanctuary, thoughtfully designed to seamlessly extend from the main residence, offering luxury and comfort in an inviting alfresco setting.

Baltrasna House is a rare and distinguished offering on the Irish property market—a quintessential Georgian residence of remarkable architectural pedigree, recently restored and impeccably maintained. It offers a unique fusion of elegance, heritage, and seclusion, making it ideal as a refined family residence, tranquil country retreat, or elegant venue for grand entertaining
