Charming Wexford cottage up for auction at €190k

A Charming Escape in Wexford

A picturesque home is something many people dream of. It’s a space that feels like a sanctuary, filled with unique elements and architectural charm that make it truly feel like a home. One of the most appealing features of such homes is the thatched roof, which adds a touch of rustic elegance and timeless beauty.

In the village of Ballyedmond, Wexford, two thatched cottages are currently on the market, offering an enchanting blend of traditional Irish architecture and modern living. These properties are just 20 minutes away from Gorey town, making them ideal for those who want to enjoy the tranquility of the countryside while still being close to urban amenities.

The Ballyedmond Cottages

The first cottage is a one-bedroom home that has been thoughtfully updated to combine the best of both worlds. From the outside, it may appear modest, but stepping inside reveals a beautifully designed space that seamlessly merges modern comforts with traditional charm. The open-plan living and dining area is perfect for entertaining guests, featuring a kitchen equipped with modern fittings such as an electric oven and fitted units.

The home is adorned with sleek tiles and a timber-clad ceiling, maintaining the original character of the property while allowing for plenty of natural light to flood in. The main bedroom is a spacious and stylish room, featuring the same tiles and ceiling as the rest of the house, giving it a cohesive and polished look. A lofted floor in the bedroom provides additional space for growing families, while a fully modern bathroom offers all the necessary amenities, including an electric shower, WC, and hand basin.

Wells Cottage: A Historical Gem

Not far from Ballyedmond, another charming property called Wells Cottage is also available. This historic home dates back to the 16th century and has been lovingly restored with a 20th-century extension. It offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and expansive kitchen and living spaces, making it an ideal choice for larger families.

The dining area is particularly impressive, with ample countertop space and French doors that open onto a private patio. Upstairs, the bedrooms are bright and airy, thanks to deluxe Velux windows that allow for plenty of natural light. The property has been designed to be move-in ready, but there is also flexibility for personalization to suit individual needs.

Location and Lifestyle

Both cottages are conveniently located near local amenities. The Ballyedmond cottage is just under 2 kilometers from the quaint village of Monamolin and within a 20-minute drive of Gorey town. Wells Cottage, on the other hand, is situated near the scenic beaches of Wexford's coastline and is only a short drive from the capital via the M11.

For those looking to live a whimsical, fairy-tale-like lifestyle, these homes offer the perfect opportunity. The Ballyedmond cottage is currently up for auction on October 16th, priced at €190,000. For more information, contact Sherry Fitzgerald. Wells Cottage has recently reduced its price to €495,000, and details can be obtained by reaching out to Warren Estates.

Whether you're seeking a cozy retreat or a family-friendly home, these thatched cottages provide a unique and charming option in the heart of Wexford.
