From ruin to splendour
The early 1800s two-storey house near Thomastown and the so-called Killarney gate to the Mount Juliet estate was bought in a largely derelict state five years ago by leathercraft workers Kevin Toner and Tania Slaughter.
They basically put their day jobs (Toner’s Bag Company) on hold for a year or more while they got stuck into rebuilding the house, on an acre of grounds, and finished off the mix with a restored old courtyard barn, a workshop and stables.
