With a stroll to the water just a few steps away and plenty of space both inside and outside, it’s easy to see the appeal of these four properties.

Crosstown, Co Wexford 

A two-in-one property, 3 Riverside comprises a one-bedroom ground floor apartment and an overhead two-bedroom residence. Both sections feature a bright and spacious living room which overlooks the River Slaney, while the main residence boasts a large balcony for soaking up the views. Separate entrances mean the properties can be used separately if homeowners wish.

Number 3 sits on 0.6 acres of beautiful grounds, with private access to the riverbank. Wexford town is just a 10-minute drive (or 30-minute walk) from the property, with a wide selection of amenities including shops, restaurants, bars and schools here.

Make it yours for €725,000.
