IF there is one thing Ireland does well, it is farming – and a decent farm will have a decent farmhouse.
The midlands of Ireland is renowned for its strong agricultural ties and imposing farmhouses – and luckily, some farmers have kept these old homes in immaculate condition.
One such case is Ballylehaun House, a beautiful four-bedroomed period home in Co. Kilkenny.
The house is nestled snugly in the foothills of Binnianea and Cullahill Mountains in the scenic village of Gathabawn.
The current owners acquired the property in 1997 and gutted the house, renovating it to an immaculate standard on the inside.
The result is a house than retains its old character but has all of the amenities you could want from a modern home.
The five acres of land around the house are finished to a high standard, with a small pond on the grounds as well as the incredible mountain views.
If you feel like swapping your life in Britain for the tranquillity of a Kilkenny farmhouse, this place can be yours for the quite expensive price tag of €595,000 (£422,000).
