Ballyhitt House enjoys a wonderfully private and tranquil setting in the countryside at Our Lady’s Island, near Broadway, Co. Wexford. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, the property is surrounded by rolling farmland, mature trees and the beautiful Wexford landscape, offering a genuine sense of peace and seclusion. Despite its rural position, Ballyhitt House is exceptionally well placed for enjoying the spectacular south Wexford coastline. Ballytrent Beach is just a three-minute drive away, with the beautiful sandy shores of St Helen’s Bay approximately five minutes away and Rosslare Strand around eight minutes by car. The area is renowned for its unspoilt beaches, coastal walks, dunes and outstanding natural beauty, making it an ideal location for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits and life by the sea. The nearby village of Our Lady’s Island provides a strong sense of community and is famous for its picturesque lake, historic church and proximity to the coast. The neighbouring village of Broadway offers a range of local amenities, while the surrounding area is dotted with country pubs, cafés, sporting facilities and excellent walking and cycling routes. For commuters and those seeking easy access to larger towns, Wexford town is approximately 17 minutes' drive, while Rosslare Harbour is also within easy reach, providing ferry connections to mainland Europe. Dublin is less than a two-hour drive, making the property equally suited to a permanent family home, country retreat or coastal escape. The location offers the best of both worlds: a private country setting with the freedom and space of the coast on your doorstep, yet within easy reach of Wexford town and the wider transport network. With its combination of peaceful countryside, beautiful beaches, established local communities and excellent accessibility, the location of Ballyhitt House is undoubtedly one of its greatest attractions. Description A beautifully maintained Edwardian farmhouse set amid approximately 3.8 acres of paddocks, mature trees and apple orchards, close to Our Ladys Island, one of County Wexford’s most sought-after coastal locations. Ballyhitt House is a charming four-bedroom Edwardian farmhouse offering a rare combination of period elegance, thoughtful modernisation and a wonderfully private rural setting. Extending to approximately 3.8 acres, the property comprises four bedrooms, two reception rooms and a dedicated office, together with generous ancillary accommodation. Surrounded by stud-fenced paddocks, mature broadleaf trees and established apple orchards, it provides an idyllic country setting with excellent potential for equestrian use. Beautifully cared for by its current owners, the house retains an abundance of its original character and architectural detail. The original sash windows have been carefully restored, while the more recent extension has been designed with great sensitivity to the character of the original house, incorporating double-glazed timber sash windows and a full-height feature window that sit seamlessly alongside the period elevations. Inside, the house is rich in Edwardian charm. Original fireplaces and decorative cornicing remain throughout, providing an elegant reminder of the property's heritage. A particularly striking feature is the handsome main entrance door, beautifully complemented by its hand-crafted stained-glass centre panel, creating a memorable and welcoming first impression. The accommodation is both elegant and practical, with two reception rooms providing excellent space for family life and entertaining, while a separate office offers a dedicated space for working from home or quiet study. Four well-proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for family and guests. Approximately 15 years ago, the house was thoughtfully extended to provide a contemporary kitchen, shower room, utility room and large dining area. The extension has been carefully integrated with the original property, creating valuable additional accommodation while preserving the atmosphere and integrity of the period home. The large dining area provides a particularly appealing space for gatherings, with the generous glazing bringing the surrounding gardens and countryside into the heart of the house. The surrounding land is equally appealing. The stud-fenced paddocks provide secure and versatile grazing, making the property particularly well suited to those seeking an equestrian lifestyle or simply the space and freedom associated with country living. The grounds combine open pasture with mature broadleaf trees and established apple orchards, creating a wonderful variety of landscape immediately around the house. The mature gardens provide an abundance of privacy and shelter, with established planting and trees creating a peaceful backdrop throughout the seasons. The apple orchards are a particularly charming feature, adding to the property's traditional farmhouse character, while the generous grounds offer ample space for outdoor entertaining, recreation, gardening or simply enjoying the tranquillity of this special setting. Despite its wonderfully private rural atmosphere, Ballyhitt House is ideally positioned to enjoy the attractions of County Wexford's coastline and surrounding countryside. The area is renowned for its beautiful beaches, fertile farmland and attractive coastal landscapes, while nearby towns and villages provide a good range of shops, schools, restaurants and everyday amenities. Ballyhitt House is a property of genuine character and considerable versatility. Combining the charm, proportions and architectural details of an Edwardian farmhouse with thoughtfully introduced modern accommodation, generous grounds and the potential for equestrian use, it offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a much-loved country home in a highly desirable coastal setting. For those seeking a peaceful family home, an equestrian property or a private rural retreat within easy reach of the coast, Ballyhitt House offers an enviable combination of character, space and lifestyle — a home in which to enjoy the very best of country living in County Wexford.
