Beechlawn House, Beechlawn, Ballinasloe, Co. Galway, H53XW10
Beechlawn House is a distinguished period residence dating from c.1850, occupying approximately 1.3 acres in a prime Ballinasloe location. This classically proportioned detached villa, once a historic Bianconi house, is steeped in heritage, having originally provided rest and accommodation for stagecoach passengers travelling through Ireland in the mid-19th century.
The house presents an elegant three-bay single-storey facade, with a four-bay north elevation set behind a sweeping lawn and enclosed by rendered boundary walls. A hipped slate roof, panelled pilasters, and a beautifully detailed recessed porch with carved pilasters, stained-glass sidelights, and a teardrop fanlight lend the property both grandeur and charm. The tripartite six-over-six pane timber sash windows to the front elevation are a striking original feature, enhancing the symmetry and period character of the home.
Internally, Beechlawn House offers spacious and light-filled accommodation, while externally the property has benefitted from a sympathetic extension to the rear. The grounds include an apple orchard, outbuildings to the rear and side, a 650 sq ft cabin/garage providing additional versatile space, and the remains of a stable area from its original stagecoach use, now covered in for modern family living. Electric gates provide secure access.
Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating (OFCH).
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a property of both architectural significance and historical importance, combining period craftsmanship with the potential for further restoration and enhancement. Its unique history as a Bianconi house, coupled with its proximity to Ballinasloe town, makes it an exceptional residence for those seeking heritage, space, and convenience.
