This exceptional 191 sqm detached stone home sits on approximately 2.5 acres and offers privacy, space, and sustainability in one of Wexford's most desirable coastal settings. Only 2 km from Kilmore Quay village, it provides seclusion without losing easy access to amenities and transport links.
Originally built in 1888, this unique property blends heritage and modern living. Exposed beams, flagstones, and stained-glass details preserve its charm, while contemporary upgrades provide year-round comfort. A 20-panel PV solar system spans two roof arrays on the outbuilding, capturing early morning and day-to-evening sun to generate electricity and hot water through a smart switch. The system is battery-ready for future storage which will further decrease energy bills. Additional features include an EV charger, oil-fired heating with a new boiler installed in December 2024, mains water, and fibre broadband.
The interior is light-filled and welcoming. The large open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area connects naturally through stone and timber finishes, with a 12 kw room heater feature stove as its centrepiece. Upstairs includes three bedrooms, each with its own character. The master bedroom features a generous walk-in wardrobe leading into a private en suite with timber flooring and a tiled mains shower, adding comfort and practicality.
Set within mature landscaped gardens that include lilies, wisteria, cherry blossom trees and dozens of rose bushes. The home enjoys multiple outdoor living areas including pathways that lead to a custom-built BBQ zone, fire pit, pergola, and thatched tiki hut for year-round entertaining. Beyond the gardens, private gated access opens to an adjoining 2-acre field (with existing road access) where the owners have planted over 2,500 native saplings as part of Ireland's 100 Million Trees Project, creating a developing private woodland.
A substantial stone outbuilding includes a self-contained one-bedroom studio apartment with sea views from the skylights, a fully equipped gym with shower facilities, and a large garage/workshop with excellent storage. A detached home office cabin provides additional space for remote work or hobbies.
