Steeped in history, the property covers an impressive 3659.73 sq. ft across two floors and is surrounded by expansive grounds. A notable feature is the remnant of a stone tower, hinting at the property's historical significance. 

The property was built by the Fitzpatrick’s on what is believed to be 14 May 1635 as inscribed on a cut stone in the three-storey tower which unfortunately burnt down in 1958, losing the top storey.

Selling agents CBPM say one of the standout features of Tintore House is its multiple dining areas. The inviting living room features a stone wall and elegant chandelier while the large windows throughout the property floods it with natural light. 

"High ceilings, ornate light fixtures, and hardwood floors add warmth and character contribute to the property's historic charm," said the selling agents. 
"Externally, Tintore House is set within expansive grounds, showcasing well-maintained lawns bordered by mature trees and hedgerows and an orchard. The property's facade is partially covered in ivy, adding character to its stone construction."

Tintore House is located ten minutes from the heritage town of Abbeyleix and 15 minutes to Rathdowney and Durrow. It is listed on daft.ie with an asking price of €700,000.
