Property Description

DNG McCormack present to the market Ballyoliver House, Ballyoliver, Rathvilly, Co. Carlow

Set on an impressive 4.3 acre site on the edge of Rathvilly village, Ballyoliver House is a striking and character filled, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom traditional country residence offering space, privacy, and exceptional countryside living.

Originally a period home believed to be over 200 years old, the property has been extensively renovated in recent years, carefully blending its historic character with modern comfort. Rather than a contemporary build, Ballyoliver House should be appreciated as a true traditional country house, full of warmth, charm, and individuality.

The ground floor is thoughtfully arranged, featuring a modern kitchen that flows into a tiered living area and dining space framed by stunning 360-degree windows capturing uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. The living room includes a solid fuel stove, while a second stove in the sitting room (can also be used as a third bedroom) adds flexibility and comfort. A WC and utility room complete the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, there are two large double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Both rooms are exceptionally bright, benefiting from Velux windows, with tasteful panelling and recessed lighting enhancing the sense of quality and finish throughout the home.

The property also benefits from solar panels and has recently been upgraded with significant insulation improvements, bringing the BER rating up to a B3, offering improved energy efficiency and year-round comfort.

Externally, the property is equally impressive. There are two substantial outbuildings currently used for storage, with excellent potential for a variety of alternative uses including a home gym, artist studio, workshop, or conversion into additional living space or a granny flat, subject to planning permission.

Electric gates open onto the private site, reinforcing the sense of seclusion and countryside living while still being within easy reach of village amenities in Rathvilly.

A standout feature of this home is the spectacular west-facing aspect, offering unforgettable evening sunsets over the gardens and surrounding landscape, a truly special highlight of the property.

Viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate everything this impressive property has to offer.
