The property became derelict by the mid-20th century, first restored in the 1980s and again in the last 10 years by its current owner. The Grade ‘A’ listed mansion has much of its original period detail, seen in the original pre-Adam plasterwork and carvings throughout its magnificent reception rooms.
Restored into a comfortable and sizable family home, Bargany House offers 15 bedrooms (8 ensuite), 11 bathrooms, and amenities like a screening room, billiard room, home gym, and games room.
