Description

Step back in time to the elegant era of Georgian architecture at Ballywilliam House, a majestic sanctuary nestled on two acres of landscaped gardens along the serene banks of the River Bandon. Built in 1816, this stunning residence combines history, luxury, and tranquillity, just a five-minute drive from the vibrant town of Kinsale and 35 minutes from Cork Airport.

Ballywilliam House boasts a fascinating past, with roots dating back to 1765. Adding to its allure, the property was home to the renowned American singer-songwriter Tori Amos from 1995 to 2019, serving as the birthplace of many of her albums.

Spanning three floors, the house features eight spacious bedrooms, six bathrooms, and elegant living spaces designed for relaxation and entertainment. The sitting room exudes charm with its period fireplace, while the dining room, complete with a piano, is perfect for hosting memorable gatherings. The recently refurbished kitchen offers modern amenities while retaining its cosy character.

A grand curved cantilever staircase, illuminated by a striking oriel window, leads to the upper floors, where natural light floods through tall sash windows, accentuating the home’s timeless appeal. Outdoors, a haven of delight awaits: a 50-foot climbing frame, football pitch, and trampoline for children, alongside a heated thatched gazebo for alfresco dining.

The enchanting woodland path leads to a riverside fire pit and a secluded gazebo offering breathtaking views of the river. At the end of a private two-kilometre cul-de-sac, Ballywilliam House promises unmatched privacy, blending modern luxury with the peace and charm of its storied past.

Discover a retreat that offers both history and serenity, perfect for an unforgettable Irish escape.
