Edenvale Cottage – A Rare Sanctuary in the Vale of Eden.
Despite its tranquil setting, the vibrant town of Wexford is less than a 10-minute drive away, offering a superb range of amenities. Enjoy scenic strolls along the waterfront promenade, explore a wide selection of shops, restaurants, pubs, and hotels, or immerse yourself in the town’s rich cultural scene, including the National Opera House and Wexford Arts Centre. The nearby village of Castlebridge, just two minutes away, provides excellent local services, while the stunning coastline at Curracloe Beach and the beautiful Raven Forest are within easy reach, perfect for days by the sea or woodland walks.
Dating back to the 18th century, this charming stone cottage was originally built to house workers of the Le Hunte Estate. Constructed from locally sourced red sandstone, studded with quartz, complemented by Scots pine timbers-likely from nearby Curracloe- and sheltered beneath a natural slate roof, the property stands and a testament to the craftmanship of a bygone era.
Originally configured as two separate dwellings, the cottage has been thoughtfully combined over time to create one spacious and character-filled home. With interconnecting doors still in place, it offers the flexibility to function as two independent living spaces if desired.
Edenvale Cottage exudes warmth and charm throughout. Carefully maintained and presented in good condition, it offers generous yet cosy accommodation, with an abundance of inviting rooms ideal for both family and guests.
The site extends to c. 0.75 acres, the grounds are a celebration of biodiversity, thoughtfully cultivated to exist in harmony with the surrounding landscape. A rich tapestry of native wildflowers, fruit trees, and mature specimen trees create a haven for wildlife, offering colour, texture and seasonal interest throughout the year.
Accessed via a steep concrete lane, the approach is not for the faint-hearted-yet it only enhances the sense of arrival, rewarding you with a setting of remarkable beauty, privacy, and tranquillity that truly feels worlds away.
Whether envisioned as a peaceful countryside residence, a creative haven for artists or writers, or a restorative escape from the pace of modern life, this is a home of rare character in an idyllic and inspiring setting.
