Some homes simply have a presence about them.
Believed to date back over 200 years, this charming former gate lodge has quietly stood the test of time, witnessing generations of change while retaining the character, warmth and individuality that only a home of this age can offer.
Originally constructed as the entrance lodge, the property occupies one of Ferrybank`s most historic settings. Close to a number of period residences, this is an area long associated with some of Waterford`s most influential merchant and landed families, including the well-known Pope family, whose legacy helped shape the area`s rich history.
From the moment you arrive, there is an unmistakable sense that this is a home with a story to tell. The mature gardens, traditional proportions and abundance of natural light create a peaceful setting that is difficult to replicate in modern construction. Original wrought iron entrance railings remain in place, providing a beautiful reminder of the property`s historic origins.
Inside, the accommodation is both practical and versatile, offering generous living space with high ceilings, a welcoming kitchen-dining room, a bright conservatory overlooking the gardens, an upgraded family bathroom and flexible three to four bedroom accommodation. The layout lends itself equally well to family living, those seeking a quieter pace of life or anyone who has long dreamed of restoring and enhancing a home with genuine character.
It presents a wonderful opportunity for a new owner to sympathetically upgrade and personalise the home over time while preserving the unique features and atmosphere that make it so special. For those who appreciate period homes, this is an opportunity that rarely presents itself.
Outside, mature gardens provide colour throughout the seasons, while a detached block-built garage and private driveway complete the picture.
While the property enjoys all the charm associated with a historic gate lodge, we are advised that it is not subject to a preservation order or protected structure designation. This may offer greater flexibility when considering future upgrading works, subject to the appropriate planning permission, building regulations and any other statutory requirements where applicable. Purchasers should satisfy themselves in this regard through their own solicitor and the relevant local authority.
Homes like this are becoming increasingly rare. They are purchased not simply for the accommodation they provide, but for their individuality.
If you have been searching for a home with character, a past and the opportunity to create something truly your own, this former gate lodge deserves your attention.
