The Fortwilliam Estate is rightly considered one of the jewels of the Blackwater valley.
Discreetly situated on rising ground above the sparkling river, running through lush inch fields, it commands a spectacular position overlooking the valley with panoramic far-reaching views to the Knockmealdown mountains on the Tipperary borders. Set in landscaped grounds, the house is approached via a mile-long tree lined drive which opens out into ancient parkland with many majestic trees before sweeping along the dramatic valley edge to reach the house.
Fortwilliam House is a wonderfully unique property built in the Tudor Revival style in local high quality veined sandstone with sash windows, striking gables, pinnacles and chimney stacks. Surrounded by almost 400 acres of rolling pasture and woodland, the impressive house enjoys the utmost privacy and tranquillity with much atmosphere and a colourful history going back several centuries.

Fortwilliam House is a wonderful family home full of light and life laid out on two floors over a basement and extending to some 10,215 sq ft. of floor area. Replete with most of its original features and fabric, an extensive and sympathetic programme of renovation and refurbishment has taken place over the last 25 years. The generous, well-proportioned accommodation includes four exceptional reception rooms, a spectacular doubleheight grand staircase hall with six bedrooms and four bathrooms to the first floor. The lower ground floor includes estate office, billiard room, rod room and wine cellar. The Fisherman’s Cottage, situated in the west wing, offers four further bedrooms and three bathrooms and may be incorporated into the house if required.

The charming period stable yard off the main drive includes two cottages whilst the coaching yard includes the recently converted coach house cottage, overlooking the walled garden and valley beyond. The prime lands are currently in grassland with a small area of mature woods along the gradients between the upper and lower fields.
