House of the week: Co Waterford

Size: 334 sq m (3568 sq ft)

It’s good to see that Waterford’s Medieval museum picked up an award at this year’s RIAI: gong fest — the county deserves a win. Challenged in terms of its old, industrial base and threatened with ugly pylons through it’s verdant valleys, Waterford county is one of the best kept secrets in Ireland in terms of tourism.

It’s stunningly beautiful, heaving with history and has a bewildering array of sandy beaches against the mountainy backdrop.
