Timeless riverside elegance in the rolling Wexford countryside for €1,500,000
Clohamon House is a Georgian gem that stands on 23 acres of land.
NESTLED IN THE tranquil Co Wexford landscape, Clohamon House is a testament to Georgian architecture. Dating to 1780, this picturesque country residence has an idyllic setting that overlooks a river Slaney valley and is set against the backdrop of the Blackstairs Mountains.
Priced at €1,500,000, this estate epitomises elegance and heritage in a tranquil riverside setting. Rich in history, Clohamon House’s architecture hints at its 17th century origins, and potentially incorporates parts of Clohamon Castle. Surrounded by agricultural lands, the property’s 18 acres offer fertile pastures suitable for livestock cultivation, along with a walled garden and a picturesque orchard.
Approached via a gravelled drive, the house instantly impresses with its charming facade, courtyard and exposed stone outbuildings. The house’s symmetrical design features a curved double-height bow and balanced windows that maximise the surrounding panoramic views of the countryside.
The hall with its striking carved timber staircase leads to a series of rooms on the ground floor including the study, wine cellar and scullery. Upgrades to the house between 1998 and 2000 mean this home is in great nick as is but would also make for a fun and satisfying projects in places.
Spanning about 550 m² overall, the house has an array of elegant living spaces on offer. The reception hall, dining room and drawing room all exude timeless grandeur and are complemented by a family room and a country-style kitchen. There is no shortage of entertainment options here.
The upper level is home to seven bedrooms, two of which have their own bathrooms and are filled with character and details that are in keeping with the home’s rich history. There are also three shower rooms, so even though all of the bedrooms are not en suite, no one should be left stuck.
The property includes The Granary, which is now a guest cottage with a cathedral-style ceiling, two bedrooms, a galley kitchen and a cosy snug space. Spanning 141 m², this is a spacious home in itself and offers a great revenue stream to whoever buys the estate. Though it might need some upgrading, the structural integrity is there for a brilliant project.
And that’s not all when it comes to guest accommodation. There is also the self-contained Dairy Maid’s apartment positioned within the small courtyard that sits behind the house. With a floor area of 31 m², it has a living room, a bedroom and shower room.
This grand house is conveniently located 3 kilometres from Bunclody and Dublin airport is under a two hour drive away. The home has easy access to various everyday amenities, from walking trails and cycling routes to sandy beaches and shops.
Clohamon House is a chance to be surrounded by Georgian elegance and historical significance as well as the natural beauty of Co Wexford’s serene countryside.
