Unlike its namesake in West Dublin, which was launched as Ireland’s newest town in 2005, Adamstown in Wexford has a long history going back to 1418, when a castle was first built there for Adam Devereux, for whom the village is named.

All that now remains of the castle, which was rebuilt in 1556, is a ruined tower house close to the village centre, which also has schools (pre-school, primary and secondary), shops, pubs, a post office, filling station, church, sports amenities and a community centre.

Located 3.8km from the villaage is this Georgian-style house set on two acres with equestrian facilities.

Approached via a gravelled drive, it’s surrounded by landscaped grounds, including a sheltered garden with fruit trees, a garage/gym, storage shed and a one-acre paddock and stable.

Built in 2000, the house extends to 2,755 sq ft and opens into a double-height entrance hall, off which is a guest WC, a family room, a kitchen/dining room with Belfast sink and island unit, a separate utility room and a sitting room with sliding doors to a patio overlooking the back garden.

Upstairs are four double bedrooms (one en suite) and a family bathroom with Jacuzzi bath. A spiral staircase leads up to three storage rooms at attic level.

Adamstown is a small village with a close-knit community. The towns of Wexford, Enniscorthy and New Ross are 20 to 25 minutes away by car and it’s 45 minutes to Waterford.
