Description
Frenchlawn House, Ballintober, Co. Roscommon, F45 A021 on c. 85.3 acres/ 34.5 Ha
This sale by private treaty represents a rare opportunity to acquire a country residence with significant historical interest.
The late Daniel O`Connell regularly stayed at Frenchlawn House, previously owned by his daughter Elizabeth (1810-1893) who married Nicholas Joseph Ffrench in 1831.
The political significance of this residence includes a previous owner, Mr. Terence Glancy, who was the First Secretary of Roscommon County Council in 1898.
Another notable former resident of Frenchlawn House is one Thomas Rogers, who emigrated to America in the pre-famine era. The City of Rogers in Minnesota is named after Thomas Rogers, a visionary who kindly donated one acre of agricultural land that developed into a city, which is a city of major importance today.
This residence has been in the ownership of the same family for over a century and, whilst in need of renovation, Frenchlawn House itself retains many original features and oozes potential, not to mention the beautiful cut stone outbuildings which could be restored and put to many different uses. This property is an ideal project for anyone interested in restoring a period residence and its outbuildings to their former glory.
The approach to this historic residence is via entrance gates and a sweeping tree lined driveway, offering maximum privacy without impeding the unrivalled views of the surrounding countryside.
The residence extends to c. 1870 sq ft / 173.7 sq m over two floors and comprises an impressive entrance hall with living room and dining room located to either side. These rooms are both generous in size and enjoy a superb vantage point overlooking the rolling countryside to the front of the property. There is also a kitchen located on the ground floor. The first floor comprises a landing, three bedrooms (one en-suite) and main bathroom.
