‘Hold your horses and take time to explore this gorgeous home in Gorey’. The Journal. 15/12/23.

This may just be country living at its finest – particularly if you and your family are the horsey types. In the peaceful and picturesque townland of Ballymore in Gorey, this elegant family home sits on 5.3 acres.

This modern, yet Georgian-inspired, home has five bedrooms and four bathrooms across a sprawling 493 m². Now on the market for €695,000, this house is a opportunity to own a slice of Wexford, soak up the countryside and stay well-connected to a large town.

The estate greets visitors with a sweeping tarmac avenue that’s flanked by mature trees and extensive paddocks, setting the tone for what lies inside. Beyond the grand facade, an interior that has been meticulously maintained and adorned with tasteful touches awaits. The rooms bathe in natural light that streams through large windows that frame views of the pretty surroundings.

The ground floor has a large and welcoming entrance hall with a stand-out staircase that draws the eye upwards. Off the hallway sit multiple living areas including a family room, and an open plan kitchen with a dining area. There is also a more formal dining space and a convenient utility room to keep the social spaces uncluttered. The coved ceilings throughout add a touch of timeless sophistication for a house built in 2007.

The first floor has been cleverly planned in terms of layout to ensure every bedrooms has easy access to a bathroom. The main bedroom has its own en suite bathrooms as well as a walk-in wardrobe. Two of the bedrooms share a Jack and Jill style bathroom. There is a fourth bedroom with an en suite bathroom which leaves the fifth the family bathroom.  

A further ascent via a feature spiral staircase leads to the attic, revealing two additional rooms bathed in natural light and heaps of potential. 

The bathrooms soak up the countryside views and are akin to what you’d find in a five-star hotel, from the heated towel rails to the large tubs and separate rainfall showers.

For those with equestrian interests, this property offers more than just a luxurious home. Extensive paddocks and a stable block with stabling facilities, tack/feed rooms and ample storage spaces are perfectly integrated into the landscape. The potential for repurposing these structures further opens a lot of doors provided the new owner gets the right planning permission.

A mere 14 km from Gorey, whoever buys this luxurious home will have plenty of schools to choose from as well as restaurants, shops, theatres and leisure facilities to make great use of. 

A seamless fusion of elegance, comfort and rural charm, this home has huge potential for anyone that needs the space and yearns to live in the sunny south east.
