Fanningstown House
Fanningstown House is approached through wrought iron gates mounted on cut stone pillars with curved side walls with wrought iron railings which lead to a long tree lined post and railed avenue to gravel forecourt.Fanningstown House is a classic Georgian three-story over semi-basement house dating from about 1765 which was close to dereliction when the current vendors purchased it.They undertook an eighteen-month restoration in 1996/1997. Work included re-roofing, new fenestration, re-wiring and re-plumbing and the conversion of the immediate outoffices to habitable accommodation. Fanningstown House represents just about the perfect combination of period character and modern living. The house, totally restored and tastefully extended, is set central to its lands and surrounded by post and rail paddocks.
