Make a bid for a modern rustic lifestyle in a very Georgian manor
The immaculately restored Georgian country house is on six acres of private grounds, including cherry trees currently shedding the last of their blossoms like so much fallen snow, as well as stands of maturing fruit trees.
The grounds include old stables and out-buildings with conversion potential, adding to the country lifestyle appeal.
Larhadan is located only a short drive west of Waterford city, with the River Suir to the north and beaches at Tramore, Bunmahon and other spots a 10-minute drive to the south.
Dating back to 1840, the house has two storeys, with five bedrooms, and the reception rooms and kitchen are finished in lush period style. The kitchen, for example, has painted units, twin Belfast sinks, a Stanley cooker and a slate floor.
The house has high-quality wood floors, many of them original, while the ground floor dining room features original window shutters.
The dining room has an archway to a family room, and the richly-papered living room has an open fireplace with marble surround and French doors looking on to a patio and lawn.
Planning permission has been granted for an extension giving more first-floor space, but Lahardan already has five bedrooms, with a cleverly-used landing area converted to a library with built-in bookcases from ceiling to floor.
The master suite has country views from its windows, and its en-suite bathroom has a cast-iron, roll-top bath. There’s one other en-suite bathroom, plus main bathroom.
New, in-character timber double glazing has been fitted throughout, the house has oil-fired central heating and a private well for water supply.
Estate agent John Rohan is due to auction the property on June 10, and, given its attributes, it will attract buyers from far beyond the county and city, as well as having an immediate local appeal.
“Lahardan has been skillfully updated, and decorated with exceptional flair,” says Mr Rohan.
