This three-bedroom bungalow within walking distance of Wexford town has been refurbished to a high standard with a tasteful, modern finish throughout. You enter the 80sq m (861sq ft) home into a front hallway before ascending a step to the livingroom, which is small but well laid out with a wood-burning stove at its centre.
