Country retreat with coastal views in the sunny southeast for €550,000
This spacious home is close to the beach as well as busy towns.
TUCKED BEHIND WELL-KEPT hedgerows and sitting on almost half an acre of beautifully maintained grounds, this impressive detached house brings together generous family living, superb outdoor space and a great location close to both Ramsgrange village and the sands of Duncannon beach. With sweeping views stretching towards the Saltee Islands, it offers a rare blend of rural calm and coastal charm.
From the moment you step into the porch, with its vaulted ceiling and tiled floor, the sense of scale is clear. The wide entrance hall is enhanced by solid wood flooring, coving and cornicing. This space then leads to a series of warm, inviting rooms.
Two spacious reception rooms offer flexibility for family life. The main living room centres around a handsome marble fireplace with a wood-pellet stove, while a second reception room to the back currently doubles as a gym but lends itself easily to use as a snug, playroom or home office.
The kitchen and dining area stretch the full width of the house, benefitting from dual-aspect windows that allow light to pour in throughout the day. Fitted units, a second marble fireplace with stove and French doors linking to the sunroom create a warm, sociable space perfect for family meals and entertaining.
The adjoining sunroom, with its vaulted ceiling, spotlighting and views over the rear garden, acts as a tranquil retreat, ideal for morning coffee or relaxing in the evenings.
A separate utility room, fully fitted and with back access, adds even more practicality.
The ground floor also includes a generously sized bedroom and a well-equipped family bathroom with a jacuzzi bath and separate tiled shower.
Upstairs, a long, bright landing provides access to four more bedrooms. Each room is well proportioned, with laminate flooring and TV points. Several enjoy built-in wardrobes or feature windows.
The standout space is undoubtedly the main suite. This is a large dual-aspect bedroom connected to a fully tiled en suite bathroom with skylight and a walk-in wardrobe.
A rare advantage of this home is the full staircase leading to the attic floor. This upper level, complete with landing area and two skylit rooms, is entirely floored and ready for use as storage, hobby rooms or conversion.
The grounds are a true highlight. To the back, an enclosed lawn offers a secure and private space for children, pets and summer gatherings. An elevated seating area makes the most of the sunshine and the views beyond.
A collection of outbuildings include a garage, workshop, office space and toilet.
Situated just minutes from Ramsgrange, the property enjoys easy access to shops, schools, a day-care centre and local businesses. The R733 is a short drive away, connecting you to Wellingtonbridge and placing Wexford town within a comfortable 30 minute commute.
Add to this the close proximity of Duncannon’s popular beach and the dramatic coastline beyond, and it becomes clear why Co Wexford is one of the South East’s most desirable places to live.
