A futuristic seaside house or a farmhouse with space to grow your own - what you can get in Wexford for €450,000.
TWO VERY different properties in Co Wexford are on the market although both are near Gorey.
Directly on the sea at Poulshone, an architect’s futuristic house is a new take on the seaside chalet. Meanwhile, in a quiet rural settting is Moneylawn, is an 18th century stone farmhouse with enough land to encourage dreams of getting away from it all.
DNG O’Sullivan is asking €450,000 for 2 Pollshone Harbour, one of four two-bedroom steel and timber framed houses built two years ago by architectural practice Meehan McClean and shortlisted in 2008 for a Royal Insitute of British Architects European award as a good example of alternative seaside development.
Number 2 is less than 50 metres up from the sea. At 92sq m (990sq ft) it has an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area on the ground floor with a full length picture frame window looking out to sea.
The kitchen units are solid teak and it has a polished concrete floor with underfloor heating and integrated appliances.
Upstairs there are two double bedrooms. The main bedroom is en suite and has built-in wardrobes and a solid oak floor. This room has views out to the sea. The second bedroom has built-in wardrobes and there’s also a shower wet room at this level.
The farmhouse is set for auction on March 20th through Quinn Property, which has already had several enquiries for the house and 4.25 acres.
It is due to be auctioned in two lots, with the house 13 acres for expected to fetch €450,000 plus and the remaining 29.5 acres guided at €400,000 plus.
