BALLINTOHER HOUSE
Ballintoher House was constructed in two stages, with the oldest part dating from 1890 and a seamlessly integrated newer wing from 1910, the current owners bought the property in 1987 and painstakingly restored it over three years into the stunning home it is today.

Upon stepping into the front hall of the newer wing of the house, you are immediately struck by the graciousness of this home, highlighted by the striking black and white Victorian-style tiling and the tall ceilings. The eye is naturally drawn to the winding pitch pine staircase that elegantly ascends to the upper floors. To the left, the dining room beckons with a detailed grey marble fireplace as its focal point. This splendid room, characterized by its tall ceilings and meticulously crafted cornicing, is spacious enough to accommodate lavish dinner parties.

Adjacent to the dining room is a charming bar area, decorated with black and red Victorian tiles. This cozy space is equipped with a bar counter and additional seating, perfect for entertaining guests in style. Moving back across the main hall, you enter the drawing room, a true masterpiece of design. This graceful space features a tall ceiling adorned with intricate cornicing, and it is bathed in natural light streaming through large windows. A marble open fireplace adds warmth and a touch of classic elegance, making this room an inviting retreat for relaxation and socializing.

An inner hall guides you to a secondary entrance hall in the original wing of the house, where another staircase provides access to the upper levels. Off this hall, you find a cozy sitting room, more intimate in scale. The room's centrepiece is a stove that radiates warmth throughout the space, making it the perfect spot for family time. Opposite the sitting room is the kitchen, which boasts a range of fitted units, an island unit and a designated dining area eased into a deep bay window, combining functionality with style. Adjacent to the kitchen are the domestic offices, which include a utility room, ample storage space, and a WC, adding convenience and practicality to the home's layout.

Ascending the main staircase from the main hall, the first floor immediately reveals two exquisite bedrooms, that are complemented by luxurious ensuite bathrooms. These bedrooms are elegantly appointed, offering both comfort and sophistication to their occupants. An inner hallway reveals an additional two ensuite bedrooms in the original wing of the residence. While on the second floor, there are a further two ensuite bedrooms.

Adjoining the main house is an old stone grain store, complete with a loft upstairs as well as a coach house. These structures offer immense potential for further development, whether as further living space, additional residential accommodation or for various ancillary uses, all contingent upon obtaining the necessary planning permissions.

GARDENS & GROUNDS
The gardens at Ballintoher House are a pure delight, thoughtfully designed to combine beauty with functionality. The meticulously manicured lawns are framed by an array of vibrant shrubberies and towering mature lime, oak and chestnut trees, which
not only enhance the garden's aesthetic appeal but also contribute to a serene and private atmosphere. A tall stone wall further ensures seclusion from the main road, providing a tranquil retreat.

In the front lawn, a well-maintained putting green provides a delightful recreational area for golf enthusiasts to practice their skills in the comfort of their own home.

To the rear of the house, there is an enclosed courtyard with an expansive patio, providing the perfect spot for enjoying outdoor parties and social gatherings. Within the courtyard, various buildings offer endless opportunities.

In addition to the ornamental aspects, the gardens include two small paddocks. These versatile spaces are ideal for keeping children's ponies, engaging in hobby farming, or even for other pet livestock, offering a touch of rural charm and functionality.

Nestled at the bottom of the garden is a poly tunnel, an ideal spot for cultivating a kitchen garden. The property boasts dual entrances, a practical feature that allows for smooth vehicular movement; guests can enter through one gate and exit through the other without the hassle of turning around. This thoughtful design enhances the overall convenience and accessibility of the property.

About Sherry FitzGerald, Country Homes, Farms and Estates

176 Pembroke Road Ballsbridge Dublin D04 EN80

Looking at the company today and thinking back to its’ origins, it’s interesting to see how, in the 30 or so years since its formation, the business has now grown to become Ireland’s largest, fully diversified property advisory firm servicing the residential and commercial property markets. Sherry FitzGerald was founded in 1982 as a result of the amalgamation of 2 companies – FitzGerald & Partners (founded 1972) and Sherry & Sons (founded in 1949). Back in 1982 we had just one residential office on Merrion Row in Dublin 2 with a second office in Terenure not opening until 1989.

Despite the economic difficulties of the 1980’s, the company recruited for the future by forming a team of young property professionals who shared a common vision of a new type of auctioneering company. From the start, we practiced a strong gender balance philosophy, a philosophy we have continued to practice to this day. We understood the absolute prerequisite to have a strong ethical foundation, combined with a sense of unparalleled customer service. That is why, back then, we introduced a non-negotiable rule of not allowing anyone in the company to buy a second-hand house off our own books, coupled with introducing opening 7 days a week into what had traditionally been a ‘9.30 – 5.30 & closed for lunch’ industry. Our strap line in those early days was ‘the new generation of estate agents’ which subsequently evolved into ‘the agent you’d recommend to a friend’.

In 1992 we were the first organisation in the history of the State, outside the Department of the Environment, to provide coherent house price information to the general public and subsequently launched our Dublin house price index in 1996. Today we employ 4 economists and, through all the challenges of the greatest property crash in Europe, we kept our commitment to research and transparent information by not only retaining this function, but by further resourcing it. Our national property index, launched in 1999, is a benchmark in terms of accurate reporting of house price trends. Every 3 months, over the last 15 years, this national index has been published without fear or favour.

In 1998 we opened our first office outside Dublin in Galway. In the same year we launched one of Ireland’s first property websites – www.sherryfitz.ie.

1998 also saw us consolidate our growing commercial presence by forming a joint venture company with the global property advisory firm DTZ Holdings – DTZ Sherry FitzGerald. Today DTZ Sherry FitzGerald is Ireland’s most successful and only nationwide commercial property advisor with offices in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and an associated office in Belfast.

In 1999 we launched Ireland’s first ever national property franchise organisation. Today there are 66 Sherry FitzGerald franchise offices, providing property advice in every corner of Ireland.

In the same year the Group acquired the Ross McParland New Homes business which was subsequently rebranded Sherry FitzGerald New Homes.

The new century kicked off with the acquisition of Cork’s leading residential estate agency, Burton Crowley O’Flynn, later rebranded Sherry FitzGerald and now occupying a flagship office, housing both our Commercial and Residential business on Lapps Quay in the heart of Cork city.

The year 2000 also saw the launch of Mortgage Insight, later rebranded Sherry FitzGerald Financial Services, providing independent mortgage and financial advice.

In 2000 our Chief Executive, Mark FitzGerald, came up with the idea of launching a national property portal and led the process of putting together the team, the partners and the investors that made it happen, with the subsequent successful launch of MyHome.ie in 2001. MyHome.ie quickly became Ireland’s largest and most innovative property website and, 5 years after its launch, was acquired by the Irish Times.

Meanwhile, DTZ Sherry FitzGerald was growing rapidly. In 2004 the company acquired the niche commercial practice of CS Tierney O’Neill as well as further strengthening the Cork commercial business by acquiring the former Collier Jackson Stops office.

In 2005 Sherry FitzGerald successfully diversified into the U.K. market with the acquisition of the 150 year old, central and West London estate agency of Marsh & Parsons. In the following year, Marsh & Parsons acquired another London estate agency, Vanstons, which was rebranded Marsh & Parsons, and in the subsequent 5 years we grew this network to 14 London offices employing over 200 people. In 2011 we successfully sold the Marsh & Parsons business leaving the business debt free.

The timing of the Marsh & Parsons acquisition also helped to protect the Sherry FitzGerald parent business during the depths of the property crash, enabling us to keep all our own offices open and 200 people directly employed. This made us the largest Irish property business to emerge from the crash.

In 2006 we launched two community initiatives supported by the Sherry FitzGerald Foundation. Firstly, the "Your Home Away From Home" which saw us underwrite the purchase of 5 Fontenoy Street, Phibsboro for Temple Street Children´s Hospital to use as parents’ accommodation for two families 365 days a year. We subsequently arranged two successful 10km Walkathons to raise funds for the project. Secondly, we were instrumental in the establishment of Amawele - a new national charity which now twins 85 schools in Ireland with schools in the Eastern and West Cape of South Africa.

In 2008 we were chosen by Christie’s International Real Estate to be their exclusive affiliate in Ireland. This partnership gives sellers of prestige homes in Ireland access to international markets. Likewise we can also offer the owners of luxury property abroad access to local expertise when they come to sell, via the global Christie’s International Real Estate network.

In 2013, we acquired our two residential franchise offices in Galway and Limerick and opened our first Blackrock office in 2014. Since its foundation in August 1982, the Sherry FitzGerald Group has grown from a small fledgling company in one location to a nationwide, diversified business operating in 88 different locations. Currently we employ 315 people directly in our 22 owned offices across a diversified residential and commercial property business (18 residential, 4 commercial), alongside our franchise business with an additional 69 offices throughout Ireland, separately employing over 200 people. Sherry FitzGerald Group remains an Irish privately owned business and committed to leading the marketplace as we have done over the last 32 years.
