Description

No. 1 Midvale is a distinguished period home set in one of Tramore’s most desirable locations. Approached by a long private driveway, the property immediately impresses with its sense of space, privacy, and charm. Mature trees and hedging frame a generous front garden, creating a welcoming approach while also enhancing the home’s seclusion and kerb appeal. While the house requires refurbishment and renovation, it offers exceptional potential to create a truly outstanding residence in this premier setting. The property also has the benefit of full planning permission (Ref: 24/60105) for a contemporary two-storey, two-bedroom detached house, involving subdivision of the existing house and lands, a new boundary wall, partial demolition of the existing extension, incorporation of the remaining structure into the new build, a shared entrance, and associated siteworks. Inside, the house retains a wealth of period detail, from decorative coving and timber panelling to classic fireplaces and patterned tiled flooring. Generous proportions, high ceilings, and original detailing highlight the character and heritage of the home, making it an inviting space with endless potential. The accommodation is extensive and thoughtfully laid out. On the ground floor, an entrance porch opens into a spacious hallway with its elegant staircase. The sitting room, rich in colour and complete with a feature fireplace, provides a warm central living space. A formal dining room with garden access, a further living room, kitchen, breakfast room, utility, and guest WC complete the ground floor. Upstairs, the property offers five bedrooms of varying sizes along with a family bathroom, providing ample space for family life, guests, or home working. To the rear, the property enjoys a private garden enclosed by mature hedges and trees, offering scope for landscaping and outdoor living. A patio and stone-built feature add charm and versatility, providing the perfect backdrop for entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the setting. The overall scale of the house, together with its versatile reception rooms and flexible bedroom accommodation, offers the chance to reimagine the property for modern living while retaining its original charm. No. 1 Midvale is as much about opportunity as it is about history, with scope for buyers to create a home of lasting style and significance. Situated along Cove Road, No. 1 Midvale enjoys an enviable position within walking distance of Tramore’s finest amenities. The Doneraile Walk, the Pier, the Ritz Bar, Cove Stores, and the Coastguard Café and Cultural Centre are all nearby, while Newtown Cove and the Guillamene offer some of the area’s most renowned swimming spots. Tramore Golf Club and Tramore Tennis Club are also close at hand, with the vibrant town centre and beautiful Tramore Beach just a short stroll away. With Waterford City easily accessible, No. 1 Midvale offers an outstanding combination of character, setting, and convenience.
