This magnificent 5-bedroom detached house in Gorey, Wexford, Ireland, called 'Laurel Lodge,' invites you into a sizable and stylish home with panoramic sea and coastal views. Its placement on a mature and private site of circa 0.8 of an acre in a quiet country lane, just 500m away from the enchanting village of Ballyfad, makes it a perfect setting for tranquillity and peace. Meanwhile, a comfortable distance of only 2.5km from Coolgreany ensures the availability of every amenity you need, including primary schools, shops, Post Office, pubs, and church.
Built about 20 years ago, 'Laurel Lodge' has weathered the years gracefully, standing in good condition today with c. 293 square meters of living area. The layout is thoughtfully organized to provide a blend of open space, comfort, and functionality. The first floor houses two spacious bedrooms, one of which comprises a self-contained apartment, offering an ideal space for anyone working from home.
Now, make no mistake, while the house is set back from the road on an elevated site and delivers a high level of privacy, it also boasts panoramic views of Arklow and Wicklow to the north and southwards towards Tara Hill and the coastline. But the location isn’t just about beauty; it’s also about convenience, being less than a 10 minutes drive away from the M11.
Inside, you will be greeted by the entrance porch featuring double doors, leading into a 6.75m x 6.47m reception hall with timber flooring. The living room of 7.13m x 5.05m emanates warmth and comfort. Here, you can enjoy a good book by the feature fireplace or step through French doors to enjoy some fresh air.

Adjoining the kitchen is a sunroom with vaulted panelled ceiling and tiled floors, ripe for quiet moments of reflection over a cup of coffee.
