Co Wexford: €700,000-€800,000: Converted grainstores, stables and a coach-house once part of the 17th century Newbay Estate near Wexford have been restored and combined into a beautiful four/six-bedroom house, which is now on the market with local agent Kehoe & Associates, writes Kate McMorrow.

The price tag is €700,000 to €800,000 by private treaty for this unusual house, which stands on two acres of lawn and mature woodland. Wexford's quays are about three miles away.

Most of the internal restoration has been completed while thegardens are a magical place of old stone walls, old trees, hedges and woodland.
