For Sale by Public and Online Auction on July 10th 2025.
Ballynapierce House – An Elegant Period Residence on 41.25 Acres
Step back in time with Ballynapierce House, a captivating early 19th-century period residence steeped in history and set on approximately 41.25 acres (16.69 hectares) of prime land. Complete with a charming gate lodge and a wealth of original features, this remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a country estate of stature and distinction.
Approached by a sweeping, mature tree-lined avenue, Ballynapierce House exudes character and grace. Originally constructed in the early 1800s, the home has been extended over time and holds a rich heritage — once the residence of Captain Archibald Jacob (linked to the 1798 Rebellion), it later housed Overington Bolton in 1853 and the prominent De Burgh family in the late 19th century. In 1900, the property served as a Benedictine school before being passed through several custodians, with the current owners in place since 1968.
The main house boasts graciously proportioned rooms, high ceilings, and exquisite decorative features such as original cornicing and ceiling roses. On the ground floor, you’ll find a grand drawing room, formal dining room, and a spacious living room – all ideal for entertaining. The kitchen is located to the rear, accompanied by an exceptionally large utility room.
Upstairs, the first floor offers five generously sized double bedrooms (1 ensuite). The second floor features two additional bedrooms, perfect for extended family, guests, or adaptable use.
Beyond the main house, the estate includes a two-bedroom gate lodge situated at the entrance – in need of refurbishment, yet brimming with potential. The grounds are enhanced by a range of outbuildings, including large stables and multiple sheds, supporting equestrian or agricultural pursuits.
The land is of top quality, currently under grass and divided into well-maintained paddocks – offering excellent potential for farming, equine or leisure use.
The property is situated a approximately five minutes drive from Enniscorthy town and very convenient to the M11 motorway. Ballynapierce House is approximately ninety minutes from Dublin Airport and little more than thirty minutes from Rosslare Europort.
Whether you’re looking for a stunning family home, an equestrian haven, or a project rich in heritage, Ballynapierce House presents a unique and rare opportunity to own a piece of Irish history in an idyllic rural setting.
