The sprawling six-bed late Georgian/early Victorian mansion has all the charm of an old country home that would happily entertain Lady Whistledown, while modern touches such as an outside pool complete with a focal fireplace feature make it perfect for weekends spent with friends.
From first look, the Louth mansion, which with a price tag of €1.8m is the most expensive home on the market in the county, makes a big impression with the outside of the house standing strong amid approximately 6.6 acres (2.67 hectares) of landscaped gardens and woodlands.

Inside, there are three levels to explore and plenty of entertaining space. On the ground floor, there is the large reception room, which was originally a ballroom (queue Bridgerton music) and boasts twin marble mantelpieces as well as large windows that flood the space with light.
Tucked behind this room is a living room and across from the grand entrance and spacious hallway is a dining room that will comfortably, and then some, fit the entire family.

These rooms have been lovingly maintained to keep their period features, with the high ceilings adorned with intricate plaster cornices.

Other rooms crying out for friends and fun nights include several on the basement level, such as the wine cellar, playroom, and a games room complete with its own bar.

One of Baltrasna's six bedrooms is located in the basement, while the other five are on the first floor with each having a lovely view over the gardens.
Original marble fireplaces can be found in several of the rooms, while deep-set sash windows and ornate cornicing elevate the sense of Georgian grandeur.

Even the hallway is impressive on the first floor, with the huge landing illuminated by a glass atrium that floods the space with light.
Outside, the grandeur continues with walled gardens adding plenty of charm to the exterior of the house and hiding the fun pool area.

This space has a covered bar in one corner and plenty of space for sitting outside and enjoying a few al fresco drinks.
The pool is fitted with lights, if you want that extra party feel while entertaining, and a fireplace stands tall at the top of the pool (it's giving Love Island firepit!)
Baltrasna House in Co Louth is on the market for €1,800,000.
