Spacious home is quite a package

THE site is more than a match for the size and quality of this house — its 0.75 acre has a lily and fish pond big enough to float a boat (literally), a second small feature pond behind, and a feeder stream at its eastern boundary.

A large West Waterford family home of 3,000 sq ft, with up to five bedrooms (one’s on the mezzanine, overlooking the main, vaulted and double height sitting room) plus a lofted garage with studio apartment, it’s quite a package at popular Woodstown, Annestown, note agents Lawrence & McDonald.

They guide at just shy of €350k, and say there are both mountain and sea views to be had from this homestead, with open plan living area at its core.

There’s a main living and dining area with kitchen, as well as a separate sitting room, and two of its five bedrooms have en suites — there’s even a Jacuzzi bath in the master suite with mosaic tiled surround, plus there’s a large family bathroom too.

Build quality is high, and decor is fresh and the several airy, high rooms give a real lift to the interior, whilst there’s plenty of links to the exterior, including from a sunroom.

Separate to the main house is the lofted garage with car-port covered section, and there’s scope to use the upper level here as a guest apartment. Most striking feature is the large pond in the almost tellytubby-like front lawn.
