Waterford Property: Striking barn extension enhances Woodstown bungalow
Inshallagh, Cooltegin, Woodstown, Co Waterford is on the market for €595,000.
This impressive extended bungalow sits on a private, elevated site surrounded by mature woodland in the popular residential area of Woodstown. It offers a peaceful, scenic setting with the convenience of being just a short drive from both Waterford city and the seaside village of Dunmore East.
The property sits on approximately 0.48 hectares and is naturally sheltered by trees, giving it a strong sense of privacy and calm. A generous tarmacadam driveway wraps around the house and continues to the rear, providing plenty of space for parking.
Built in 1986, the original house features a distinctive cut stone façade and offers around 145sqm of living space.
Inside, the tiled entrance hall leads to a large, dual aspect living room with oak flooring, a cut stone feature wall with a stove, and French doors opening out to the patio and garden. The tiled kitchen, complete with a second stove, also opens to the rear.
An archway leads from the kitchen to a separate dining room with wood-effect tiling, which in turn flows into a bright and spacious sunroom.
This dual-aspect room connects both wings of the house and adds wonderful light and warmth to the living areas. There are three bedrooms, all with built-in slide robes, as well as a family bathroom and en-suite. The attached garage provides useful extra space.
In 2010, a striking two-storey barn-style extension was added to the rear of the home, increasing the total floor area to approximately 245sqm. This addition has its own private entrance and features a dramatic double-height entrance hall with oak flooring, opening into a large, open-plan kitchen, dining and living area filled with natural light. The modern, high-gloss kitchen includes integrated appliances, and patio doors on both sides that open out to the gardens.
The ground floor also includes a generous double bedroom, a fully tiled bathroom, a utility room, and a cloakroom that links back to the main sunroom. Upstairs there are two more large double bedrooms, one of which is particularly spacious, along with a shower room.
Outside, a sheltered south-facing granite patio offers the perfect spot for enjoying the sunshine or hosting guests. Local amenities include Pallas Stud Equestrian Centre and the sandy shores of Woodstown Beach, while Faithlegg House Hotel and its championship golf course are just eight kilometres away.
With its generous proportions, peaceful surroundings and flexible layout, this distinctive home offers a rare combination of privacy, space and location just minutes from the coast and the city.
