Somerset House is an exceptional detached residence, gracefully positioned on approximately 2.4 acres of mature, landscaped grounds along the main Tramore Road.
Framed by manicured lawns, mature trees, and beautifully maintained shrubbery, it offers an idyllic setting that blends timeless elegance with rural seclusion.
Despite its serene surroundings, Somerset House enjoys a highly convenient location just 10 minutes from the heart of Waterford City.
Everyday amenities, such as schools, shops, restaurants, and healthcare facilities, are all within close reach, while coastal escapes are easily enjoyed with Tramore Beach a mere 10-minute drive away and the picturesque seaside village of Dunmore East accessible in under 20 minutes.
Extending to approximately 4,000 square feet, this 1990-built residence offers bright, spacious interiors ideal for both family living and entertaining. The entrance hall features porcelain tiling, ceiling cornicing, and a sweeping staircase. To the left, a large drawing room with wooden floors, a marble fireplace, and French doors opens to the rear patio and connects to a formal dining room with garden views and outdoor access.
On the opposite side, a second sitting room includes sash windows, a marble fireplace with a wood-burning stove, and carpeted flooring. To the rear, the kitchen and breakfast room features bespoke cabinetry, tiled floors, and French doors to the garden, supported by a separate, fully plumbed utility room.
Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, all overlooking the gardens and countryside. The master includes a generous en-suite with bath, shower, dual basins, WC, and bidet. The remaining bedrooms are spacious and share a large family bathroom with similar fittings. A dedicated home office with an arched window offers an ideal workspace.
Outside, a substantial multi-purpose outbuilding with cut stone façade and double-skinned roof is currently set up for equestrian use, including six loose boxes, a tack room, kennels, storage space, and a kitchen with WC.
It is fully powered and accessed via electric sliding doors, offering potential for a variety of uses.
The grounds include a large patio, fenced paddocks, and extensive lawns. A detached double garage with electric doors offers secure parking and storage, while a separate portable building provides further flexibility as an office, studio, or games room.
Combining countryside serenity with urban convenience, and offering timeless style, modern comfort and remarkable flexibility, Somerset House is a truly special place to call home.
