If it’s a home for the king or queen in your life that you’re after then The Tower House could be just up your street.
Situated in Ballinree in Co Carlow, this exquisitely renovated 3 bed home is one of the most unique on the market due to the fact it is dominated by a tower which dates back to the 1800s.
Akin to something from a fairy tale like Rapunzel, this makes The Tower House a truly eye catching property which has to be seen to be appreciated.
The tower building, which was first constructed as a RIC police station sometime around c.1839, was equipped to transmit and receive flag signals to other White Boys towers that were located strategically throughout Carlow.
With wedge-shaped cut granite threads embedded into the wall at the inner perimeter of the tower and their thinnest part carved into a cylindrical shape as they are stacked one on top of the other to form the stair's spindle, the granite stairs are a magnificent example of architectural detailing.
Of course, it’s not just the tower element that makes this home stand out. Only after viewing would one truly understand the numerous exquisite custom features that use stone and wood combinations to work around the homes ingenious design.
The accommodation comprises of an entrance hall, sitting room, living room, large kitchen/dining area, family room, 3 en-suite bedrooms, a bathroom and a loft.
The exterior of the house and garden are equally stunning. The low-maintenance garden features granite stone, a garden shed and a limestone patio.
Since the owner owns the adjacent lands, a discussion or agreement may be needed to determine the garden's location. The property can be sold on up to c.1 acre. Also, to the back of the property is a mobile home that can be purchased for an additional fee of €15,000.
Located between Fenagh and Borris, The Tower House is one of the most unique and eye catching properties to come on the market in Carlow or, indeed, around Ireland for some time.
