‘GENUINELY incredible views’ is how selling agent Brian Gleeson sums up why buyers are most likely to be interested in this expansive home near Ardmore - but there’s plenty more to tempt too in this scenic corner of West Waterford.

The house itself was well thought out by the local family that built it as their full-time dream home many years ago and they made sure that the main daytime accommodation, as well as the principal bedroom, faced the coast. 

Whether you’re cooking, dining or lounging, the sea is at all times visible from the roomy open-plan kitchen-cum-dining-cum-living space, framed by a generous supply of windows and fully-glazed double doors. 

It’s the same story in the generous main bedroom, where another glass door can be thrown open to the fresh sea air. An added perk is the walk-in-wardrobe.

Mr Gleeson of Brian Gleeson Property expects a “cross-section of interest, from buyers interested in acquiring it as a full-time home and also from buyers looking for a weekend home”.

For sure weekends spent near the beautiful beaches of Whiting Bay and Goat Island sound like living the dream, while the pretty village of Ardmore with its art galleries, craft shops, and plenty of quality dining-out choices — Cliff House Hotel, White Horses restaurant, or less formal options like Shipmates, Soulmates or the Urchin Bar — make it a foodie’s paradise.

Curragh Beach and Ballyquin beach beckon too and there are endless opportunities for swimming and boating.

Mr Gleeson says the property — on a one-acre site in Ardoginna — is “within easy reach of the N25, providing convenient access to both Cork and Waterford cities”. Ardmore village is a five-minute drive away, while Youghal and Dungarvan are each a 15-minute spin.

“Ferrypoint, an excellent launch point for boating on the River Blackwater, is also five minutes away,” the agent adds.

The guide price for the 258sq m, five-bed home is €950,000 and it comes with a detached garage with flexible options such as home gym or home office “with the views you have always dreamed of”.

The energy rating is a C.
