Ballard House, V92 P7KN

***NEW TO THE MARKET***

Gary O’ Driscoll & Co Ltd (PSR Licence No: 003250) are thrilled to bring Ballard House to the open market. A truly stunning period residence with exceptional finishes and an abundance of space. Ballard House sits atop Tralee commanding beautiful countryside and sea views whilst nestled within mature and manicured gardens extending to around 1.2 acres, offering ultimate privacy and within walking distance of Tralee town centre and the popular Wetlands facility.

Ballard House is a superb 2 storey over basement period residence dating back to 1828. Having been totally refurbished after 2003; Ballard House is the benchmark by which renovated period properties can be judged. The property was re-plumbed and re-wired, to include a high insulation specification, oil fired central heating, the retention of all the original features and finally an exceptionally high standard of finish throughout. Extending to around 325 SQ.M over three floors, the dwelling also benefits from mains sewerage & water, a slate roof and is of stone construction.

Basement: The basement or sub-floor level has been renovated to include a large laundry room, games room, shower room, office/study, plus a wine cellar and the original cold room which had been used for meat storage & other perishable goods. This floor has been finished to the same standard as the rest of the property.

Ground Floor: The main entrance boasts the property’s original limestone pillars and through to the main doorway to the hallway. To the front of the dwelling are both the drawing room & sitting room, and to the rear are both the kitchen/breakfast room & dining room. The retention of the original cavity sliding doors from the drawing room through to the dining room remain, which adds to the property’s character further. The refurbishment extends to double glazed sash windows, porcelain tiling, a fully fitted kitchen with AGA stove, original style cornicing and coupled with approx. 14ft ceilings.

First Floor: The 1st floor houses the sleeping accommodation in the main dwelling and extends to 4 double bedrooms (2 en-suites) and a main bathroom. Each bedroom boasts ample natural light and excellent space, whilst also boasting a triple mint finish throughout.

Coach House: To the rear of the main dwelling stands Ballard Cottage which, again, has been totally renovated to include oil fired central heating, a new slate roof and associated insulation. Housing additional bedrooms, this offers separate guest accommodation and benefits from its own oil boiler, with double glazing throughout also. In addition, the ‘boiler house’ and storage area make up the building’s overall footprint.
