Press Release - Greisebank House 18th Century Period Residence

Griesebank House which has just come to the market with Jordan Town & Country Estate Agents is an unusual and historic Quaker House lying just outside the Village of Ballitore in Kildare, on the River Griese.  Built in 1700s by the Shackleton Family as a commercial mill it became the home of the Shackleton Family and the writer Mary Leadbeater, renowned as the author of the Annals of Ballitore.  The house itself was used both on the Militia and Rebels side as a hospital in the 1798 uprising.

 Some 25 years ago the house was bought by Jonathan Irwin and his wife Senator Mary Ann O Brien. They upgraded this unique historical 18^th century period residence with an adjoining contemporary wing, blending in to form a splendid family home (6,488 sq.ft.) on 2.169 acres of mature gardens and grounds.

Mary Ann is widely recognised as one of Irelands early female entrepreneurs, having created the International chocolate brand Lily O’Briens from a saucepan in the kitchen of Griesebank House.  In the same time Jonathan has created the Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation that has provided home nursing care services to 2000 fragile children all across Ireland.   Jonathan and Mary Ann have spent many happy years in this cosy home raising their family, creating a garden, entertaining family and friends.

 Situated just off the M9 with 15km Kilcullen, 12km Athy, 35km Naas and 65km Dublin.

The residence which includes 6,488 sq.ft. of spacious living accommodation includes a large wing, which was built as an adjoining apartment with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and smoothly blends in with the old, to make a wonderful quirky family home.

Strange that while living in a Quaker house, Mary Ann created a brand of chocolate on the same shelf as so many other Quaker brands, Cadbury, Rowntree, Bourneville and Frys. The Irwins, their families, their dogs and their Burmese cat are on their way to Kilkenny.

For sale by Private Treaty Paddy Jordan is quoting €750,000 and viewing is strictly by prior appointment.
