Like something out of a period novel such as Wuthering Heights, this spectacular Waterford manor has hit the market for nearly €2million.
Located in Carriganore, Carrigaleigh House is a sensational six bed situated on a massive 4.65 acre site, and possesses all the luxuries and features that would be expected of such a brilliant property. Pic: DNG Pic: DNG Pic: DNG Pic: DNG Pic: DNG
Granite steps lead to the front door, that sets the tone of the home's grandeur. An expansive hallway and high ceilings show off the home's spectacular hallway, and given what county we're in, it's only natural that we have a giant Waterford Crystal chandelier.
Both formal reception rooms boast marble fireplaces and even more Waterford Crystal chandeliers, while the kitchen is to the rear corner of the room, as well as a separate utility and laundry room, and boot room. Pic: DNG Pic: DNG Pic: DNG Pic: DNG Pic: DNG
The kitchen features a highly detailed, solid oak panelled ceiling, as well as hand made oak fittings, an oil fired Stanley stove and head height over a mantle and surround.
A sun room is another feature of the home on the ground floor, and is accessed via the dining room and sitting room. Two bathrooms, a laundry room and separate drawing room complete the ground floor. Pic: DNG Pic: DNG Pic: DNG Pic: DNG Pic: DNG
Heading up the stairs to the first floor, we have four of the home's six bedrooms. The master bedroom is considerably sized with a separate entrance hallway and doorway, as well as extensive fitted wardrobe and a vanity/dressing room and en-suite bathroom. The other three bedrooms on this floor are also considerable in size, and all boast en-suite bathrooms.
Heading up the stairs to the second floor are the remaining two bedrooms, and while they don't have the features such as en-suite bathrooms, they are still impressively sized with carpeted flooring and fitted wardrobes. Pic: DNG Pic: DNG Pic: DNG Pic: DNG Pic: DNG
The home is the perfect blend of countryside peace and privacy, that is also perfectly located 6km from Waterford City, 3km from the Waterford IDA Industrial Estate, and 9km from Waterford University Hospital.
As well as this, there are a number of brilliant amenities nearby — including Faithlegg House hotel, Waterford Castle and Waterford Golf Clubs. Tramore and Dunmore East are also driving distance away. Pic: DNG Pic: DNG Pic: DNG Pic: DNG Pic: DNG
The property is available via DNG, with an asking price of €1,850,000.
