Dromana Estate has a special appeal

The less flamboyant of the two gate lodges at Dromana Estate is charming in its own right, says Trish Dromey.

DROMANA ESTATE in West Waterford had two gate lodges — one a flamboyant Hindu Gothic structure with an onion dome and minarets, the other a picturesque 19th Century property much more typical of its era.

The first is now a much-photographed tourist attraction while the second, renovated and extended, is a charming and unusual home which has recently come on the market with a guide of €300,000.
