A planning application has been submitted to Waterford City and County Council for the restoration of a manor in Waterford, which is associated with billionaire businessman James Dyson.
One of Britain's richest men, vacuum cleaner magnate James Dyson reportedly purchased Ballynatray House for over €30 million earlier this year, making it one of Ireland's most expensive private home sales ever.
Restoration works include rebuilding stone chimneys, removal of a non-historic external staircase and replacement of non-historic windows with new sash windows. Multiple gatehouses will also be restored and the estate’s west barn will be converted to an energy centre.
