Waterford Property: Modern design meets Georgian style in sumptuous property
Carrigaleigh House, Carriganore is on the market for €1.85 million
Carrigaleigh House is a splendid Georgian period-styled residence, nestled in its own extensive mature woodland grounds and gardens of c. 4.65 acres.
This opulent property extends to c. 671sqm / c. 7,223sqft having been constructed in the year 2000.
Carrigaleigh House was commissioned with the brief to emulate the look and feel of a traditional Georgian period residence, with exceptional attention to detail paid to the design and finishes, even down to the layout of the extensive gardens.
The front door is approached by granite steps that lead to a large, wood panelled front door with traditional fan light overhead.
Upon entering the property, you are greeted by the expansive hallway and 12ft high ceilings, with ornate coving and Waterford Crystal chandeliers framed by decorative ceiling roses.
Two formal reception rooms are accompanied by two further sun rooms, together with a large drawing room and separate dining room. Both formal reception rooms feature solid marble fireplaces with Waterford Crystal chandeliers and matching wall lights, with decorative plaster coving and ceiling roses.
The kitchen is to the rear corner of the property with separate utility and laundry rooms and a boot room. The kitchen is a traditional handmade solid oak painted kitchen with Stanley stove framed by a head height over mantle. The kitchen also features a highly detailed solid oak panelled ceiling, mirrored below by a wide plank solid oak floor.
The downstairs area also includes a guest shower room, storeroom and linen room. The upstairs is approached by a grand staircase, handmade locally and in a white painted finish, mahogany handrail and with a monkey’s tail detail at the end.
The upstairs landing leads to four sizable bedrooms, all of which have individual entrance hallways, dressing rooms and large en-suite bathrooms, including the master bedroom. The second floor has a further two large double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes.
The best of both worlds, Carrigaleigh House has the perfect blend of countryside peace, privacy, and tranquillity, yet is within a short distance of all the amenities that Waterford City and its suburbs has to offer. The property is located down a quiet country lane in a picturesque rural location.
