Scope to show hospitality in Wexford

CHURCHTOWN: €875,000:CHURCHTOWN House in Rosslare, Co Wexford, is a Queen Anne house that dates, in part, from 1703. The property comes with a guest wing and two separate two-bedroom apartments. It is for sale by private treaty with an asking price of €875,000 through agent Colliers.

Set on about eight acres of land, the sizeable property includes a main house with up to nine bedrooms, all of which are en suite. Six of these are on the first floor. There are seven en suite bedrooms in the guest wing.

The house has a separate two-bedroom apartment and a staff apartment with another two bedrooms.

It also has a sunroom, drawing and dining rooms as well as bright and sunny breakfast room.

The property was built by the Herron family. Later it was owned by the Royce family and in the 1830s they supplied two stained-glass windows to the Pugins’ designed parish church in Tagoat where the name of the house can still be seen inscribed in the panels.

Refurbished in 1993, it has been run as a country house ever since. It is about 6km from Rosslare Strand and 13km from Wexford town so it is very close to the main gateway into the country.

The property includes two stone buildings, a coach house in the yard, and a cow barn, both unconverted. Given its location there is enormous scope to develop the hospitality aspect of the business.
