Ballynaclough House

Respecting the 19th and 20th century alterations and upholding it as a family home.

The current owners purchased the house in 2008 and their view was to return the house back to its original 18th century style whilst respecting the 19th and 20th century alterations and upholding it as a family home.

Ballynaclough House is a four-bay, two storey house built circa 1702 with a rear cobblestoned courtyard, fronted by the Nenagh River. Original timber trefoil-headed and round-headed windows and square-headed sash windows have survived with some modern aluminium windows being incorporated into the house. The house has a pitched slate roof with a pair of rendered chimney stacks with clay pots and roughcast render finish to all of the external walls.

The site of Ballynaclough House also encompasses many other elements of historical archaeological importance such as the ruins of a castle, a medieval hall and later outbuildings. Sir William Rowan Hamilton, the Irish physicist, astronomer and mathematician was at one time a resident of the house.

A planning application was prepared and a good working relationship was established with NTCC Planning Dept who supported this significant project which has resulted in Ballynaclough House being given a new lease of life for at least another 150 years.
