Heathfield House, Ballinruane, county Limerick
Heathfield House in Ballingarry, perhaps most famous for the duel that took place locally in 1829, is currently for sale.
The property details reference an annex built to the house to accomodate a sister of the owner. One wonders if this refers to the widow of Thomas, who was pregnant at the time of her husband's death. The current property dates from 1818/1828 depending on the records you read, but it is reasonable to presume there was another house on this site, accommodating this family, prior to the current structure.
"Dating from 1828, Heathfield House was created for both elegant entertaining, and for comfort. First built as home to Edward Lloyd, former Viceroy to India, the house is a noted example of the classic Georgian Irish country house. Detailed on Irelands National Inventory of Architectural Heritage, Heathfield is described as a fine building with many features of interest. All these come together in a harmonious house and stable yard, surrounded by parklands, paddocks and woodlands. It is a peaceful spot, full of charm and character, and yet hugely convenient to local and national amenities. Shannon airport is under an hour away. Lloyd himself was a kind man, well-liked by the community. He was also generous. A few years after he moved into Heathfield, his sister needed accommodation, and so the original five-bay building was extended to create an apartment for her alongside his own quarters."
The house was sold by the Lloyd family in 1988 as it was no longer economical to maintain. Fortunately, a popular musician and very lovely gentleman bought it and has made the conservation and improvement of this property one of his lifelong passions.
