Description

Griffin Auctioneers are proud to present ‘Quarry Lodge’—a truly outstanding and rare offering to the Tramore property market. This one-of-a-kind home occupies a superb c. 1.14-acre private site on the sought-after Springfield area, tucked away at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac off the Old Waterford Road. With an elevated aspect, this property commands sweeping, panoramic views across Tramore Bay, the Backstrand, and beyond offering coastal serenity and seclusion just moments from the town centre. ‘Quarry Lodge’ was built in the early 1960s with much of the timber and granite stone used in its construction reclaimed from a demolished church. Every internal door was hand-crafted from salvaged wood, as was the flooring in the hall and landing. Two charming stained-glass windows in the sitting room were also rescued from the same church, adding character and a unique historic charm to the home. The property has been in the current owner’s family since 1967 and has been lovingly cared for, maintained and upgraded throughout the years. From the moment you arrive, its charm is unmistakable. The front of the property boasts a picture-perfect approach with a sweeping driveway, mature hedgerows, and manicured gardens, complemented by a spacious double garage with a stunning terrace above accessed directly from the kitchen/diner. This elevated outdoor space is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the peaceful coastal surroundings. To the rear, the expansive back garden is a breathtaking private sanctuary. Surrounded by open lawn, sculpted trees, and mature landscaping, it also features a large patio area providing a spectacular setting perfect for family life, alfresco dining, summer gatherings, or simply enjoying the peace and beauty of the surroundings. Notably, the generous site offers excellent potential to extend the existing property (subject to planning permission) making it an ideal choice for those seeking additional space or future development opportunities. Internally, the accommodation is generously proportioned, with a functional and versatile layout comprising an inviting entrance hall, a spacious kitchen/dining area, a lounge, four bedrooms, a family bathroom, a shower room, guest WC. Upstairs, three attic rooms provide excellent flexibility. Externally, a spacious double garage offers generous additional storage and a large separate utility room. The home also benefits from oil-fired central heating and double-glazed windows throughout. What sets this property apart is not just its quality and size, but its unbeatable location. Situated within one of Tramore’s most desirable residential areas, it offers easy access to the beach, promenade, local schools, restaurants, and sports facilities, including Tramore Racecourse and the iconic Japanese Gardens. Despite its peaceful, private setting, the home is only a short walk from Tramore town centre and just a 15-minute drive to Waterford City making it ideal for both daily convenience and weekend relaxation. 'Quarry Lodge' combines the best of coastal living with the practicality of a well-connected location. With its unrivalled gardens, sea views, and timeless charm, this is an extraordiary opportunity to acquire a home of genuine distinction in a spectacular setting. Early viewing is highly recommended.
