LOCATED ON THE eastern slopes of the iconic Tara Hill in Co Wexford and commanding sweeping views across the Irish Sea, Temair House is a charm-filled house set within 1.8 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. It combines craftsmanship, character and contemporary comfort in one of the Sunny Southeast’s most popular locations.
Approached through striking stone entrance pillars and historic wrought-iron gates, the journey to the house sets the tone for what lies inside. A winding driveway reveals a home that sits proudly within its elevated setting, surrounded by mature gardens and framed by uninterrupted coastal views. From almost every angle, the landscape unfolds dramatically towards the sea, creating a remarkable sense of space, privacy and tranquillity.
One look inside and it becomes clear that this is a home full of character. The interiors have been thoughtfully designed to celebrate the surrounding landscape, with generous glazing, vaulted ceilings and carefully positioned living spaces ensuring the spectacular outlook remains centre stage.
The heart of the home is an impressive open plan kitchen, dining and living area. Bathed in natural light, the room features soaring timber ceilings, French doors opening onto expansive patios and panoramic sea views that create an ever-changing backdrop throughout the day. Natural materials play a significant role in the design, with locally sourced stonework, handcrafted details and beautifully aged timber adding warmth and authenticity.
The bespoke kitchen combines practicality with personality. Hardwood worktops, a Belfast sink and quality appliances are complemented by a striking island incorporating a century-old pine beam, creating a focal point that reflects the property’s blend of heritage and contemporary living.
The ground floor also accommodates a generous main suite, complete with a private dressing room and en suite bathroom. This peaceful retreat enjoys views over both the gardens and the surrounding coastline.
Throughout the house, original and carefully sourced architectural details create a sense of charm. Stained-glass windows cast colourful light across the interiors, while exposed stonework, reclaimed oak beams and traditional-style doors contribute to the home’s unique atmosphere.
An elegant sandstone staircase and feature spiral stairway provide access to the upper floor, where a spacious landing leads to two further bedrooms, a family bathroom and a stunning sitting room. With vaulted ceilings, a feature fireplace and elevated coastal views.
The grounds surrounding Temair House are every bit as impressive as the building itself. Meticulously landscaped over several levels, the gardens have been designed with sweeping lawns, ornamental rockeries, winding pathways and elevated viewing spots. There’s even a mature orchard that adds further appeal, producing apples, pears and a variety of berries.
An extensive Indian sandstone terraces wrap around the house and are accessed directly from the main living spaces.
Despite its peaceful setting, Temair House enjoys excellent connectivity to Gorey town, with its vibrant mix of boutiques, restaurants, cafés and schools. It’s only minutes away while the nearby M11 places Dublin within easy commuting distance. Several of Wexford’s sandy beaches are also close at hand, offering the perfect balance between countryside seclusion and coastal living.
Temair House, Tara Hill, Gorey, Co Wexford is on the market for €945,000 through Quinn Property.
