Farmhouse and a cottage to walk into near Wexford village

Two renovated homes, both near the village of Camolin in Co Wexford, are for sale

Ballyeden House €525,000

THE difficult job of bringing an old cut-stone farmhouse back to its best has been done in the case of two similar properties in Camolin, Co Wexford.

Ballyeden House is a immaculate five-bedroom house set on six acres of land in the north Wexford countryside.

The house has around 300sq m (3,250sq ft) of living space, as well as outbuildings and stables. It is for sale through Warren Estates at €525,000.

Solid oak flooring, with underfloor heating, runs through the ground floor of the house which has two very large rooms – a sitting-cum-diningroom that is over 30ft long and has French doors to the two acres of garden that surround the house. The drawingroom is on a similar scale and it too connects with outdoors, while a big square kitchen has an open fireplace.

Upstairs, the same quality of finish is evident with oak flooring, old style radiators and Marvin windows used throughout.

Ciúnas Dé €349,000

WARREN Estates is also selling Ciúnas Dé, at Clonee Lane, some two miles from the village of Camolin. The renovated four-bedroom house stands on just over half an acre of landscaped garden and is for sale at €349,000.

As the name suggests, the house has been used as a retreat by its Dutch owner who is now returning to Holland for family reasons. New owners will inherit a property that is ready to go, either as a weekend bolt-hole or as a guest-house wtih a peaceful feel, and a meditation room in the garden.

A big comfortable livingroom, floored in oak and with a wide stone fireplace leads onto a big kitchen/diningroom where a tabby cat sits atop an old cream coloured Aga.

A large scullery off the kitchen has plenty of storage space, while there is also a workshop on the ground floor, along with the first of the bedrooms. It's the main bedroom and is generous in size, as is the en suite bathroom that comes complete with an old-fashioned cast-iron bath.

Upstairs, are two bedrooms called the Bronte and the Hardy, which both have an olde worlde feel thanks to their pretty antique furnishings. The third bedroom is used as a sittingroom but can easily revert and has easy access to a shower room.
