Description

Shabeg House, Main Street, Borris, Co. Carlow is a distinguished Period Residence in the heart of the charming Village of Borris. It is an exceptional example of Tudor Revival architecture, believed to have been constructed circa 1835. This splendid semi-detached, three-bay, two-storey over basement residence boasts striking period features, including a handsome granite doorcase and distinctive gables that reflect its architectural heritage, natural travertine limestone tiles, solid wood floors, feature ceiling panels among many more features. Accommodation is set over basement, ground and first floor on split levels and a coach house to the rear which comprises of a home gym, workshop and storage area. There is under floor heating throughout the entire basement with oil fired central heating on the other levels. There is separate vehicular entrance to the large private rear garden and coach house with a well maintained lawn with lovely seating areas providing epic views of Mount Leinster and the Blackstairs Mountains. Ideally located on the eastern side of the main street in the picturesque and historic village of Borris, Co. Carlow, the property is within a short stroll of all local amenities, offering the perfect blend of village charm and convenience. Shabeg House has been extensively upgraded and modernised with exceptional attention to detail. Care has been taken to preserve and restore the many elegant period features, all of which remain in excellent condition. These include ornate moulded cornices, original period windows with shutters, a traditional fireplace, wide 9-inch floorboards, and generously proportioned skirting boards. The interiors have been tastefully redecorated throughout creating a harmonious blend of classic charm and modern sophistication. The majority of the buildings date from the early part of the 19th century and face the demesne of Borris House and estate, which is the ancestral seat of the MacMurrough Kavanaghs, descendants of the Kings of Leinster. The MacMurrough Kavanagh dynasty have a long association with the town. Borris House now hosts the annual international Festival of Writing and Ideas. The classical character of the town has been maintained and thus the all-encompassing civic atmosphere of country living is there for all to enjoy. The Borris Railway Viaduct, recently opened as a walkway, with its sixteen arches supported by soaring limestone pillars is a dramatic example of monumental 19th Century railway engineering. Local shops, an artisan butcher, and Farmers' Market, along with family-run pubs—one housing Plur Bakery on weekends—and the award-winning Step House Hotel, provide all essential comforts, homegrown produce, and everyday needs. Delight in the beauty of nature with the River Barrow a Short 2km walk from your door. Engage in pursuits, such as boating or canoeing on the River Barrow or exhilarating walks runs, hikes, and cycles along the Barrow River Track and in the neighbouring Mount Leinster and Blackstairs mountains, and many pony and equestrian activities. Avid golfers can tee off at the esteemed Borris Golf Club, one of Ireland's oldest parkland courses, Gowran Golf Club or , the Jack Nicklaus designed Championship Golf course at Mount Juliet is under 30 minutes drive away. Anglers are spoilt for choice, with opportunities to spin for the elusive Shad on the Barrow in May, indulge in fly-fishing for trout on the scenic River Nore, or pursue Bass along the stunning Wexford coastline. Gowran Racecourse is located just over 10km away and Borris House also hosts Point to Point racing. The Arts are all extremely well catered for with the 9 Stones Artists members being professional artists, all of whom are based and work in the local area, together with drama groups in the town and surrounding area.
