Description

Situated in the heart of the historic heritage town of Lismore, West Waterford, this charming semi-detached residence offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property steeped in character and history. Dating from the 1820s1830s, the house was originally constructed to accommodate estate managers or officers associated with the renowned Devonshire Estate, and it continues to reflect the architectural style and craftsmanship of that distinguished period. From the moment you approach the property, its sense of heritage and timeless appeal is evident. Internally, the accommodation is both generous and versatile, providing an excellent foundation for a buyer seeking to create a unique home that blends period charm with modern living. At ground floor level, the property features two elegant reception rooms positioned to the front. These rooms are enhanced by large sash-style windows that flood the interiors with natural light, creating warm, inviting spaces ideal for use as living rooms, a formal sitting room, home office, or even a library, depending on individual needs. Also on the ground floor is a conveniently located shower room, adding practicality to the layout without compromising the historic integrity of the home. To the rear, a spacious kitchen and dining area provides significant potential for reconfiguration and modernisation. This space could be transformed into a bright, open-plan hub of the home, perfectly suited to contemporary living, entertaining, and family gatherings, while still respecting the traditional layout of the property. Upstairs, the first floor comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms, each with its own distinct character and charm. One of the bedrooms is particularly notable for its vaulted ceiling, a striking architectural feature that adds a sense of volume and grandeur rarely found in homes of this type. The first floor also includes a generously sized bathroom, which, like other parts of the house, offers excellent scope for upgrading and redesign to meet modern standards. Externally, the property continues to impress. While on-street parking is available to the front, the house also benefits from valuable side access leading to an exceptional rear garden. Extending to approximately 97 metres in length, this expansive outdoor space presents a remarkable opportunity. Although it requires some attention and landscaping, it has the potential to become a truly beautiful and private retreat—ideal for gardening enthusiasts, outdoor dining, or simply enjoying a peaceful setting within the town. The location is a key feature of this property. Situated within easy walking distance of Lismore's array of amenities, including local shops, cafés, schools, and cultural attractions such as Lismore Castle and its gardens, the property combines the charm of a heritage town with everyday convenience. The surrounding area is also renowned for its scenic beauty, with the Blackwater Valley offering excellent opportunities for walking, fishing, and outdoor pursuits. While the property would benefit from refurbishment and modernisation, it represents an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to restore and enhance a period home to their own taste and standards. Importantly, the house is eligible for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, which may provide financial assistance towards renovation works, making it an even more attractive prospect. Overall, this is a property of significant character and potential, offering the chance to create a distinctive home in one of West Waterford's most sought-after and historic locations.
