Ellen O'Donoghue

This four-bedroom home, situated across from Blackwater Pier, originally dates back to the 19th century, but was extended in the 1980s.

It is a two-storey property, set on around 4.5 acres of landscaped gardens, woodland and a meandering stream.

The main house, roughly 232 square metres in size, marries old-world charm with modern comfort.

The original cottage’s heritage is preserved in its pebble dash façade and tiled roof, while the extension was integrated to create an inviting home.

The ground floor welcomes you with an entrance porch leading into a hallway with a feature brick fireplace and wood-burning stove.

A library/office with bespoke mahogany shelving, a music room, and a lounge with an open brick fireplace provide a number of living spaces.

A light-filled conservatory with garden views, a formal dining area with direct access to the patio, and a kitchen with pine units and modern appliances complete the living areas.

There is also a guest bathroom and a utility/boiler room with storage.

Upstairs, the master bedroom overlooks the gardens and features an en-suite bathroom and vaulted beamed ceilings.

Three further bedrooms, two of which are en-suite, a family shower room and a linen room complete the upstairs.

The home is surrounded by mature woodland, the landscaped gardens feature a wide variety of plants, shrubs and flowers, with a stream running through the grounds.

An orchard, a kitchen garden, and multiple outdoor seating areas also feature on the property.

In addition to the main residence, the property features a range of well-maintained outbuildings.

A detached garage offers around 40 square metres of space with an adjoining workshop area.

A stone-faced studio or workshop measuring around 38.7 square metres stands apart from the main house and could be used as a creative studio or home office.

Several wooden outbuildings provide additional storage and space for gardening or hobbies.
