Garranaspic, Kinsalebeg, Ardmore, Co. Waterford.

This architect-designed Scandinavian-style house sits in its own woodland with a rich variety of trees and an abundance of wildlife. The open plan design gives the house a feeling of spaciousness and light, while the triple glazed windows, high levels of insulation, under-floor heating and wood-burning stove keeps the property warm. The ventilation system, floors of solid maple, cork or tiles as well as natural paints and materials, make this a healthy home. Outside, the woodland provides fuel for the woodstove as well as a haven of beauty and tranquillity.

This property is located in rural, but not remote countryside just 1km off the N25 (main Cork – Waterford Road). You can drive in 10 minutes to Ardmore or Youghal, both rich with historic interest.
