History Charlesfort House is a distinguished country residence whose story is woven into the fabric of North Wexford. Originally constructed in the early 19th century by Charles Dawson, the house reflects the elegance and proportions of its period. In 1977, a devastating fire reduced Charlesfort to a ruin, its noble walls standing as a silent reminder of a bygone era. Nearly three decades later, in 2004 2005, the property was acquired and lovingly restored by the current owners. The restoration was carried out with great care, blending modern craftsmanship with traditional materials to revive the building`s original grandeur. Period features such as tall sash windows, fine plasterwork, and spacious reception rooms were re-established. Charlesfort House has also played a role in the cultural and sporting life of the region, having been closely associated with prominent GAA administrator Martin O`Neill. Today, it stands not only as a beautiful country house but also as a landmark of resilience and renewal in County Wexford`s architectural heritage. Location Charlesfort House enjoys a peaceful countryside setting in Tombrack, north County Wexford. This stunning property is less than 5km from the village itself, which was the ancient capital of Leinster and gateway to the former Norman city of Wexford.
