One of the earliest examples in Ireland of an unfortified house, The Beaulieu you see today was constructed in the late 17^th and early 18^th Centuary, in a Dutch style thought to be unique in Ireland.

The present owner Gabriel DeFreitas is tenth generation descendant of Sir Henry Tichbourne who settled at Beaulieu in 1650.

The origins of the estate can be traced back to the time of the Normans when the Plunkett family obtained royal consent for the lands.
