Waterford Property: Charming country home on market in Lismore
Flowerhill House, Ballyduff, Lismore, is on the market for €975,000.
Flowerhill House is a five-bedroom country home, sitting on approximately 3.5 acres.
The house enjoys a peaceful elevated position with long views across the Blackwater Valley and a strong sense of seclusion, while remaining within easy reach of both Ballyduff and Lismore.
Built in the 1960s and thoughtfully upgraded over the past decade, the house now extends to approximately 284 square metres.
Its design draws from traditional country house style, with symmetrical proportions and sash windows, but it has been steadily modernised. The result is a solid, comfortable home that retains its character while meeting contemporary standards.
At the heart of the ground floor is an open-plan living and dining space, where a wood-burning stove and garden views through timber-framed windows create a relaxed, lived-in atmosphere.
Adjacent is a generous study and a kitchen that features a classic oil-fired Aga and bespoke cabinetry. The use of natural materials, particularly hardwood flooring throughout much of the ground level, reinforces the house’s warm and traditional feel.
Upstairs are five spacious bedrooms, all bright and well-proportioned, along with three bathrooms. The layout is functional and flexible, with plenty of room for family living, remote work or visiting guests.
Outside, the gardens are mature and quietly impressive, with south-facing lawns, established trees and a woodland path that winds through the edge of the grounds.
A paved patio area makes the most of the evening light, while a detached, light-filled studio provides space for creative work, storage or further conversion. Additional outbuildings offer further potential.
While the setting is peaceful and rural, day-to-day amenities are close at hand. Ballyduff is just a few minutes away, and Lismore, with its historic castle, cafés, schools and shops, is a short 10-minute drive.
The River Blackwater is nearby, offering fishing, walking routes and access to the wider countryside. Cork City is reachable in under an hour, with Cork Airport a little beyond that.

Flowerhill House is a well-maintained property, well suited to those seeking a comfortable home in a quiet location, with the flexibility to enjoy both the natural setting and the nearby towns.
