Nestled amidst the lush landscapes of Ardagh in the heart of Waterford City, The Old Church at Killotteran offers the unique blend of historical character and contemporary design. This villa, dating back to when it was first erected in 1858, serves as an enchanting family home, presenting a perfect balance between serene countryside living and access to urban amenities.
At first glance, this property charms with its distinct historical architecture harmoniously fused with a modern zinc-clad extension that expands the living and entertainment areas. Upon entering, the porch leads you through a visually striking mosaic-tiled aisle, unfolding into a cozy living room, elegant dining area, and an elevated kitchen which intriguingly occupies the area of the former church altar. The experience of this space is intensified by the meticulous preservation of features such as original mosaic floors, exposed oak A-frames, and diamond fenestration.
Further exploring the house, the first floor houses three well-appointed bedrooms and a gracefully designed bathroom. The main bedroom includes a unique recessed sleeping space complemented by an adjacent dressing and storage area. Meanwhile, the new extension of the villa brings additional charm with its spacious sunroom that opens up onto a picturesque outdoor deck, a snug den, a guest bedroom complete with walk-in closet, another bathroom, and a large utility room.
For those with a renovator’s spirit, this property offers a canvas to personalize while respecting its architectural integrity. The thoughtfully designed extension allows the potential to separate part of the space into a two-bedroom accommodation unit, providing flexibility for diverse usage or even rental opportunities.
