The Garden House at Lissadell - Lissadell Estate | Villa in Ballinfull
3 Bedroom Villa in Ballinful, Ballinfull
One of the oldest residences on the Lissadell Estate, The Garden House was built by Sir Robert Gore-Booth during the 1860s as the home of the estate's Head Gardener.
Nestled beside the beautifully restored Victorian Walled Kitchen Garden and surrounded by mature gardens, historic estate walls and peaceful woodland walks, The Garden House offers a tranquil escape in the heart of one of Ireland's most celebrated country estates.
