Ceol na Mara, An Rinn, Dungarvan, Co. Waterford Eircode: X35 AV99 Denise Radley Auctioneers are delighted to present Ceol na Mara, a truly distinctive period residence situated in the heart of An Rinn Gaeltacht, just a short drive from Dungarvan. Set on approximately 0.6 acres, this impressive detached residence extends to approximately 2,100 sq. ft. and has been extensively refurbished and upgraded by its current owners over the past two years. The result is a wonderful family home combining the character and proportions of a period property with comfortable modern living. From the moment you enter, Ceol na Mara has a sense of character that is difficult to replicate. High ceilings, generous room proportions, sash-style windows, decorative coving, original-style fireplaces and an impressive staircase are just some of the features that make this home so special. A home with exceptional flexibility The accommodation offers up to five bedrooms, together with numerous reception and multipurpose rooms, making Ceol na Mara particularly suitable for a large family, those working from home or purchasers seeking additional independent accommodation. The attractive front entrance, with its distinctive arched architectural detail, opens into a bright and spacious hallway. To one side is an elegant formal dining room with an open fireplace, while on the opposite side is a generous family room/lounge, also featuring an open fireplace. An adjoining room provides an ideal home office, playroom or study. Beyond this is a back kitchen/utility area which benefits from its own separate external entrance. This section of the house also connects to a double bedroom with ensuite and offers excellent potential as a guest suite or more independent living accommodation, subject to any necessary requirements. The heart of the home To the rear is arguably the standout feature of Ceol na Mara – a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. The cream fitted kitchen is complemented by a stove, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A large window and doorway connect this space beautifully with the substantial garden room/conservatory. Flooded with natural light and overlooking the mature gardens, this is a wonderful everyday family space. Whether it's dinner cooking, relaxing beside the stove, children doing homework or entertaining friends, the layout works exceptionally well. The garden room has a solid roof and extensive glazing, with patio doors opening directly onto the gardens, creating a wonderful connection between the house and its outdoor surroundings. A guest WC located beneath the staircase completes the ground-floor accommodation. First floor The impressive staircase leads to a bright landing where a tall window allows natural light to flood the space. There are four further rooms at first-floor level, providing considerable flexibility in how the house is used. One bedroom benefits from an ensuite, while the family bathroom can also be accessed directly from a bedroom. The current owners have transformed what could be the fifth bedroom into a beautiful first-floor drawing room, complete with a fitted stove. It is a particularly inviting room and could equally be returned to bedroom accommodation if required. Gardens & grounds The gardens are a very special feature of Ceol na Mara. Set on approximately 0.6 acres, the grounds are mature, private and full of character, with established planting, lawns and numerous areas in which to sit and enjoy the surroundings. For anyone with an interest in gardening, the grounds offer enormous appeal. There is also a charming stone outbuilding, garden shed and chicken house, adding further character and practical storage. The driveway is fully tarmacked and provides ample off-street parking for several vehicles.
