Built in 1835 as the dower house for the nearby Lairakeen Estate, this is an unusual property, built into the side of the Esker Riada, a famous glacial ridge running the width of the country.

From the front, Kilnaborris House looks like a modest-sized single-storey home, yet it is two-storey with attic level to the rear, providing ample accommodation.

The main house includes an elegant drawing room running from the front to the rear of the property. In addition, there is a study, living room, and large conservatory which links the main house to the refurbished coach-house. A country-style kitchen with island unit, and three very spacious bedrooms completes the house.

Outside the mature grounds are well landscaped and maintained, while the courtyard provides a private sun-trap area.
