In the immediate vicinity of the Castle there are two outbuildings; one used for storage, the other partially connected to the Castle and also used for storage and equipment for the solar power panel.
The property may be described as follows:
The Castle has undergone extensive restoration between the years 1999 and 2009, along with more recent works being undertaken such as external rendering with sand and lime compound, and landscaping works to grounds.
This has well insulated the Castle and has significantly improved heating and damp control.
At the entrance to the property a large stone and ironwork gate has been constructed as well as a planted hedge along the frontage on the public road.
The Castle measures approximately 2,443 sq ft.
The accommodation is laid out as follows:

A fine four-poster bed is in one corner. The other three corners are occupied by a small library and sitting area, a large free-standing bath tub and finally a 19th century armoire for clothes.
At the end of a narrow passage is a dungeon.
The property presents very well, having been restored with great care and expertise, and has been well maintained over the years.
The works are of an extremely high standard with great attention to detail and preservation of the historic architecture.
Planning Permission has been granted recently by Tipperary County Council to extend the Castle. Information available on request.
HISTORY:
The Castle at Ballytarsna was constructed by Sir William Hackett as a home for his family during the late 15th century.
The Castle remained occupied until the year 1655 when the Hackett family were ousted by the British Parliamentarian forces during the ‘Wars of the Three Kingdoms’.
It was during this brutal conflict that the castle fell into disrepair and subsequently had remained in a derelict condition until modern times.
The extensive restoration process to the Castle was undertaken by the previous owner over a eleven-year period which commenced during the late 1990′s.
It has taken huge skill, knowledge and dedication by the vendors and their craftspeople to recreate this magnificent piece of Historic architecture in it’s serene rural setting.
