As period homes go, Hilton House is certainly one of the most manageable properties on the market in Ireland today.

Built in c1850, the house has been restored in recent years by the current owners and is in immaculate condition.

As selling agent Benjamin Haythornthwaite of Sherry Fitzgerald puts it, this is a “turnkey” property.

Hilton House is approached through a striking castellated entrance and a gravel avenue, which is flanked by a laurel hedge and mature trees.

The house comprises two storey’s set over a semi-basement level. The semi-basement level or lower ground floor comprises the kitchen, family/living room, utility rooms, a shower room and private sauna.

The ground floor, which is raised above ground level thanks to the semi-basement, comprises a large drawing room, dining room and study, all of which offer fantastic views of the surrounding grounds thanks to the large bay windows.

Second floor

The second floor comprises four bedrooms along with a master bedroom with en suite. Again the rooms on the top floor offer magnificent views of the surrounding grounds.

To the rear of the house is a walled courtyard with old-style stone outbuildings including coach houses, stables and tack rooms.

Adjacent to the house is a walled garden and orchard filled with young apple trees. Beyond the walled courtyard is the main farmyard with modern cubicle accommodation for over 150 cattle. Adjoining this shed is a large five-bay hayshed.

The lands around Hilton House extend to 38 acres and surround the house. The land is all in grass and well fenced, with a number of small post and rail paddocks used for keeping horses.

Situated just outside the village of Mullinahone, nearly equidistant between Clonmel and Kilkenny, Hilton House is for sale by private treaty at an asking price of €950,000. The sale is being handled by Sherry Fitzgerald, Dublin 4.
