New owners making changes to 11-bed Georgian mansion in Kildare

The new owners of Ballindoolin House in Carbury have applied for planning permission for several changes to the protected building.   The luxurious property had an asking price of €2.75 million before it was sold two years ago. The 11-bed Georgian mansion is set on a 250-acre estate of gardens, woodland, a working farm and a gate lodge. The large dining room is one of the property's best features as it features a massive dining table which could seat up to 14 for dinner. Being planned to Ballindoolin House is a single-storey conservatory dining room extension to the side of the house. The owners also want to convert a study to a kitchen and convert the kitchen to a toilet, all on the ground floor. There are also plans to subdivide and convert one bedroom to an ensuite and dressing room and convert a second bedroom to a bathroom all on the first floor. Permission is also sought to rewire the house, provide central heating and a photovoltaic array to save energy and redecorate the house.
