Dunabrattin, Annestown, Co. Waterford, X91N1Y9

A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully renovated two-bedroom traditional Irish thatched cottage, peacefully situated in the countryside close to Waterford’s celebrated Copper Coast and picturesque Kilmurrin Beach. The property is a protected structure, reflecting its architectural and heritage significance and preserving the distinctive character of this traditional Irish cottage. With its sweeping thatched roof, soft pinkwashed walls, deep-set sash windows and traditional cottage proportions, the property exudes rustic charm and timeless character. The interior has been recently thoughtfully refurbished while preserving the warmth and individuality of the original cottage. The renovation includes new sash windows and underfloor heating throughout, combining traditional visual appeal with modern-day comfort. Freshly painted in a crisp neutral palette, the accommodation is further enhanced by large-format tiled flooring, high sloping ceilings, natural timber doors and contemporary finishes. The well-proportioned accommodation comprises a bright and spacious living room and a separate kitchen/dining room, divided by a substantial exposed stone and brick wall which forms a striking architectural centrepiece. An impressive traditional fireplace provides a wonderful focal point within the living room, while deep-set windows, high ceilings, recessed lighting and extensive exposed masonry reinforce the cottage’s distinctive character. There are also two generous bedrooms, each benefiting from its own private ensuite shower room. Both ensuites are finished with modern sanitary ware, walk-in showers and space-saving sliding doors. Outside, the property stands on extensive lawned grounds bordered by mature trees and established hedging, with a spacious gravelled forecourt and gated access to the rear garden. A substantial detached outbuilding provides excellent storage together with potential for a variety of alternative ancillary uses, subject to the necessary planning permission. Situated along Waterford’s renowned Copper Coast, the property enjoys a peaceful rural setting close to Kilmurrin Beach and the picturesque coastal villages and beaches of Annestown and Bonmahon. Surrounded by dramatic cliffs and unspoilt coastline, the area offers excellent opportunities for walking, surfing, kayaking and exploring the region’s outstanding natural beauty. The Waterford Greenway, a scenic 46-kilometre off-road walking and cycling trail linking Waterford City and Dungarvan, is also conveniently nearby. Despite its tranquil countryside setting, the property remains highly accessible. The vibrant towns of Dungarvan and Tramore are each approximately 20 minutes away by car, while Waterford City is within a 30-minute drive, placing an excellent choice of shopping, dining, leisure, cultural and transport amenities within easy reach.
