Georgian heritage house located in parklands in Geashill, Ireland

  Description

  I am renovating a 250 year old Georgian house. It is a listed heritage building surrounded by parklands. Hopefully when the renovations are more complete, then we can live there as a family for many generations. We always like having visitors and have an open door for many guests.
  
  The next step in this includes work on the kitchen and victorian conservatory. This restoration project is definitely a labour of love and not a commercial for profit business, which means that the end result is something beautiful to be appreciated. There is also lots of help needed with gardening and light farming tasks.
  
  Great if you have previous experience in renovating old buildings or are a practical person who is happy to learn. I like teaching practical professional skills to young people, so you can learn many new things. I always want people to enjoy their work and the sociable side of the project. If you wish to work extra hours then I am happy to pay the official rate.
  
  I am also farming in the green fields of Ireland, 1 hour from Dublin and 20 Minutes from Tullamore town. We live in a large farm house with extensive gardens and many trees. We have 3 children (aged 9 to 13 years) one dog, hens, 3 ponies, and a big garden surrounded by fields and forestry as far as the eye can see.
  
  Our work environment is always friendly and brings out the best in all of the team. My parents originally came from Germany, so we can speak German or English giving an interesting cultural experience.
  
  I converted a barn into a 3 bedroom luxury home. This new and spacious accommodation will be your home if you stay with us. It includes 3 bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and a large living room.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Our home and family is bi-lingual (German & English). Many years ago I thought students at university, so I always have an intertest at passing on knowledge, especially about traditional building skills, trees and farming. I am a great believer in learning by doing...
  
  The old Georgian house (5km from our home) where I am renovating the buildings and gardens is a very special place. The collection of big old veteran trees and architecture inspire a love for the culture of that period.

  I am renovating a 250 year old Georgian house. It is a listed heritage building surrounded by parklands.
  
  I need help to instal a traditional Victorian kitchen. Also turning an area of weeds into a new garden with hydrangeas and planting trees and shrubs. I am experienced at several trades and have a big workshop with all the tools, so you can learn a lot of new skills. I always want people to enjoy there work and the sociable side of the project, meeting new people. If you wish to work extra hours then I am happy to pay the official rate.
  
  I am also farming in the green fields of Ireland, 1 hour from Dublin and 20 Minutes from Tullamore town. We live in a large farm house with extensive gardens and many trees. We have 3 children (aged 8 to 12 years) one dog, hens, 3 ponies, and a big garden surrounded by fields and forestry as far as the eye can see.
  
  It would be good if you have a drivers licence or even better a car. At our house you are in the middle of green fields as far as the eye can see, with no public transport.

  Autres infos...

  We live in the middle of Ireland, one hour west of Dublin, so it is a good starting point for traveling to the west coast or Dublin.
  
  We also have many more local tourist attractions and are very experienced in planning weekend trips for visiting family and friends.
  
  Our local shopping town of Tullamore is only 20 minutes away and has everything including several shopping centres, cinema, many pubs and good restaurants.
  
  If you appreciate the peaceful quiet of country living, then outside our front door the only sound is the wind and birds all week and you have a view of only fields and trees as far as the horizon in all directions.
