300 year-old Kilkenny country house renovation to feature on Nationwide

A stunning Kilkenny home is to feature on RTE's Nationwide programme tonight.

Ballysallagh House, located north-east of Kilkenny City, is a Georgian house, dating from 1722. It has some unique features.

Last December Ballysallagh House became the first winner of a new prize intended to  draw attention to the challenges of owning an historic property.

Since buying  Ballysallagh House in 1987, local pharmacist Kieran White and his wife Geralyn have  devoted themselves to bringing both the building and gardens back to peak condition, ready to mark Ballysallagh’s tricentenary in 2022.
