It also has everything you need for raising thoroughbred horses in a county well-known for its equestrian heritage, with stables, paddocks, haybarns and teaching facilities, and just over 47 acres of permanent pastures and fields well-suited to turning out mares and foals. It is on the market with Sherry Fitzgerald Country Homes, seeking €1.5 million.The house itself is a well-proportioned two-storey Georgian residence, with a large drawingroom and diningroom for entertaining guests or enjoying day to day, and a country-style kitchen that acts as the ideal hub. Next to the kitchen is a bright and comfy sunroom overlooking the extensive gardens, with a stove to stay warm on those days when the sun goes AWOL. Ballylanigan House has five good-sized bedrooms upstairs, plus a family bathroom. The two largest bedrooms have double sash windows overlooking the gardens; one has an en suite, while the other has en suite and walk-in wardrobe. To the back of the house is a fully fledged equestrian centre surrounding a large cobbled courtyard, with seven stables arranged in two blocks, a traditional stone and brick coach house and a large barn with a wet room, workshops and a lecture room big enough for 30 people. Beyond the courtyard are another two outside pens in a lean-to structure, and two more lean-to structures for hay and machinery storage. There’s even an apple orchard adjacent to the courtyard. All this is surrounded by acres of land in permanent pasture, divided up into well-laid-out fields and paddocks, fully fenced and with mature hedging and trees defining the boundaries and providing shelter.Ballylanigan House is within the hinterland of Fethard, a scenic part of Co Tipperary, with the village of Mullinahone just under 4km away, and many other villages within a 10km radius.
