Monboy, Cappoquin, Co. Waterford, P51F8H7

Brian Gleeson Property is proud to present Monboy, Melleray - a property packed with potential that captures the very essence of idyllic country living. This nineteen hundreds, south-facing, stone façade cottage, sitting on 2.3 acres and nestled in the tranquil countryside of Mount Melleray, is a rare opportunity to acquire a home full of character with land that’s perfect for a kitchen garden, hobby farming, or even a pony, all set against the stunning backdrop of West Waterford. The residence, which has been vacant over two years making it eligible for the ‘Vacant Property Grant’ offers a spacious high-ceiling kitchen/living area, a separate sitting room, three bedrooms, and a main bathroom. Partial upgrades carried out in 2001, including new windows, rewiring and repointing of the front façade using traditional craftmanship, ensure a solid base for a full renovation project. With vision and creativity, the new custodian has the opportunity to design their dream ‘country cottage’ home while preserving its traditional charm, character and original features. Outside, the property is surrounded by mature greenery, with a selection of outhouses and a shed offering versatility and additional space. The lower field runs down to the Monavuga River, which flows on to the beautiful babbling brooks of the Glenshelane Woodland walk, enhancing this peaceful setting. Mount Melleray is known for its landscapes, heritage, and peaceful lifestyle. From the historic Mount Melleray Abbey to scenic trails including the St. Declan’s Way Trail, across the Knockmealdown Mountains and the famous Vee Pass, this is an area rich in culture, heritage and natural beauty. Yet, within just 10 minutes, you’ll reach Cappoquin, with its vibrant Community Centre, gym, concert venue, creche, supermarket, the renowned Baron’s Bakery, Cappoquin Primary School and much more. Offering charm, possibility and endless potential, this may be your opportunity to create a country retreat or permanent residence in one of Waterford’s most picturesque locations.
