A piece of Tara Hill, Co Wexford

You could say that Tara Hill is the Dalkey of Gorey with its panoramic views of the Irish sea, idyllic country roads and a plethora of house types that range from the quaint to the luxurious.

In years gone by, Tara Hill attracted many city and town buyers who were looking for a retreat close to the sea, making it a highly sought-after area of north Co Wexford.

Thus, the present sale of Tara Hill House, which is nestled on the eastern slopes of Tara Hill, may provide a timely opportunity for someone who might not have been in a position to buy during the boom, to acquire a fabulous property in a scenic location. Selling agent Warren Estates, Gorey, is currently guiding in the region of €400,000 for the entire property, which includes a beautifully restored courtyard.

Standing on 10 acres, Tara Hill House was rebuilt 10 years ago and is based on the style of the original house.

With its stone-faced facade, the house has been finished to an exceptionally high standard with its solid wood floors, granite work tops and feature fireplaces.

Accommodation includes two reception rooms, kitchen with fully fitted units, bathroom and four ensuite bedrooms. The property is approached through security gates along a mature avenue, while a raised decking area at the front offers expansive views of the sea.

Adjacent to the house is an enclosed courtyard that has been painstakingly restored to its former glory with beautiful stonework, curved walls and slated roofs. Indeed, one of the outbuildings has been converted to a self-contained cottage.

Given that the courtyard has its own private entrance, this would offer the opportunity for further development into self-catering accommodation for tourists and holiday makers. Indeed, a laneway opposite the property leads to the attractive Saleen beach.

The 10 acres of land extends upwards to a forestry plantation at the back of the house.

It hasn’t been grazed for a number of years and is completely overgrown, but is laid out in a number of divisions and has some road frontage.

The property is currently for sale by private treaty.
