Somerset House, Parnell Road, Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford, Y21W7W2

omerset House, located on Parnell Road in Enniscorthy, is an exceptional detached period property with an abundance of charm and character. Built in 1898 by Robert Boyce, Somerset House has been in the same family for four generations. Robert Boyce, a general merchant with premises at Castle Hill, was a prominent figure in the business life of Enniscorthy. Following the death of Dr Charles Boyce (a son of Robert Boyce), his widow moved into the house with their three daughters. The next generation to occupy the house was Beatrice (the youngest daughter of Charles and Edith Boyce) and her husband James Sheil, who lived there all their married life. The most recent owner was their youngest daughter, who ran a Montessori School from the house for many years. With its two-bay two-storey parallel block, crested red terracotta ridge tiles and red brick Flemish bond on external walls, Somerset House retains many of the original features. It is located in a prime position on Parnell Road with easy access to Enniscorthy main thoroughfare including schools, shops, leisure facilities, the historic 1798 Centre, Vinegar Hill, The Atheneum, M50/M11 motorway and N25 making this property a 90 minute drive to Dublin City Centre and 30 mins to Rosslare Europort. The rooms are bright and spacious with kitchen, dining room and 3 reception rooms on the ground floor and 6 bedrooms together with a family bathroom on the 1st floor. Steeped in tradition, this superb residence will make a great family home in a much sought after area of Enniscorthy town.
