Description
This captivating 200-year-old farmhouse is tucked away from prying eyes on a most private site (c. 1.2 acres) in the popular locality of Woodstown, nestled into a lush, wooded valley it is simply bursting with character and charm.
A tree-lined avenue leads to an understated exterior that gives little hint of the character within. A simple door opens unexpectedly into an archway, revealing a beautiful, gravelled courtyard.
Sensitively upgraded and extended over 40 years using traditional artisan techniques, this home reflects exceptional care, thought and craftsmanship — a true labour of love and a testament to its owner.
From traditional limewashed plaster walls to natural slate and sash windows, every detail has been carefully and authentically restored.
Just up the road from Woodstown Strand and only a few minutes’ drive from Dunmore East, the property is also close to Pallas Stud, McGuire’s Garden Centre and Waterford city, which is just 10km away.

A hallway with tiled shower room leads to the large dual aspect master bedroom with a door opening onto a sheltered deck.
On the other side of the porch is a traditional kitchen / diner with a vaulted ceiling, roof light and reclaimed pitch pine flooring. A striking Inglenook fireplace with stove anchors one side of the room, while a Stanley range sits opposite. Glazed bi-folding doors open to the studio, and a tiled scullery with Belfast sink and butcher’s block lies just off the kitchen.
A central hall connects the stairs leading up to the bedrooms and down to the bathroom.
The comfortable lounge overlooks the gardens, with patio doors opening onto a lawn.
A long sunroom with sliding doors opens onto a west-facing patio with a bubbling pond and lush planting.
The lower ground floor features a spacious bathroom with a cut-stone wall and a large antique cast-iron roll-top bathtub set in a mahogany surround.
On the first-floor return is a bright triple aspect bedroom with views over the gardens and a glazed door opening onto a delightful Juliette balcony overlooking the courtyard. A second dual aspect double bedroom occupies the first floor with a roof light and walk in wardrobe.
Outside, numerous stone outbuildings—some in need of attention—offer exceptional potential for the discerning buyer.
The verdant surrounding gardens are truly stunning, creating a sense of tranquillity and inviting you to explore sun-dappled lawns, mature woodland, ponds and a variety of fruit trees.
