Drominagh Lodge Ballinderry Tipperary

When viewers come through the woodland that surrounds Drominagh Lodge and discover the elegant Georgian house which looks untouched by the modern world, they might be forgiven for thinking that they have travelled back in time.

Built in 1820, the property at Ballinderry in North Tipperary has been owned for the last 140 years by four generations of the Fogarty family. During this time they planted thousands of hardwood trees on its nine-acre site but haven’t made many significant changes to the five-bed house other than essential ones such as putting in plumbing, electricity and a kitchen and bathrooms.
