Split-level lodge with modern edge to its period past

DONE up less than a decade ago, this early 1900s Waterford home, Glencoragh Lodge, at Newtown still has a modern edge to its past.

The split-level 2,000 sq ft three bedroomed bungalow, off the Dunmore Road is on a mature one third acre site.

New to market with Property Partners Fogarty, it carries a €550,000 asking price, with its value underpinned both by quality of interior, external space, and the location, as good a Waterford city setting as a family would want.

The agents bill it as a landmark property in a prime location.

It has character, both old and new, in abundance, and features include a patio, pergola and decking area at a short gravel path remove from the house, set against greenery and facing a fountain on a crazy paving base.

Internally, the house is entirely distinctive, thanks to extra high ceilings and a drop in levels, and the main sitting/dining room is 32’ long and 15’ wide, with exposed beams in vaulted ceilings, while Veluxes draw in the light to the part-triple aspected room.

This room also has a open fireplace, is wired for sound, and has patio access.

In addition, there’s a games room off the kitchen, also high and beamed ceilinged with a feature glass block wall, and other room include a lofty hall, three bedrooms with one en suite, and a shower room, plus a utility.

Glencorgh Lodge was extended in 2001, with the rest of the house also upgraded at the time, and it has gas central heating, quality touches and the sale includes kitchen appliances, blinds, etc.
