“Along with our family, we invite you to join us on our journey to restore and redevelop Newhall House and Estate – a sanctuary of timeless elegance and natural beauty.Newhall House, a 17th-century country estate, posed an extraordinary challenge when we took over as custodians. Our mission was to lovingly and sympathetically restore the 16,000 sq. ft. tumbledown and dilapidated house back to its former glory. The task was daunting, as the property had seen no maintenance or modernisation for over a century. The house was almost beyond repair, with gaping holes in the roof, no running water, heating, or electricity.After extensive research and planning, and with the guidance of heritage experts and historians, we were fortunate to work with talented local craftsmen and artisans, all based in County Clare, who helped bring this vision to life.In parallel with the house restoration, significant work has been undertaken across the estate, including land reclamation and conservation efforts – an ongoing endeavour to tame and preserve the land.Our ultimate goal is the preservation and celebration of Newhall, a place rich in Irish folklore, spiritual history, and cultural significance. Newhall truly is a magical place, one that continues to inspire and enchant all who encounter it.”
