A charming countryside haven immersed in nature, this unique family home can be found in Gorey, not far from the Wexford coastline. 

Set on an elevated site, bordered by lush green fields and mature trees, Monalee is a wonderfully modern property with exceptional craftsmanship. Tailored for contemporary living, inside, the decor is bright and spacious, taking full advantage of the home’s beautiful surrounds.

A magnificent fan-shaped entrance foyer leads the way inside where the space is accentuated by a vaulted ceiling. Sleek ceramic tiles line the floor with large windows allowing natural light to flood in. Glass doors connect the foyer to an Indian sandstone patio. 

To the left of the entrance, a hallway leads to a reception room with a bay window overlooking the garden. A stove with granite surround and marble hearth is the main feature here. 

Further inside, you’ll find the open-plan kitchen and dining area. Featuring a bespoke design, highlights include a quartz countertop and backsplash, integrated appliances and ample storage. A concealed door leads to a utility room where there is additional storage and a guest WC. 

The dining area, characterised by feature floor-to-ceiling windows, opens to an outside deck, offering a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. 

Double doors open onto the living room which also has access to the outside deck. Light oak floors bring warmth to this space, complemented by a stove with brick surround and hardwood mantlepiece. 

Past the entrance foyer, a refined inner hallway leads to the sleeping quarters. The main bedroom boasts a walk-in wardrobe, and an opulent ensuite with bay window. Adjacent, is a second double bedroom while a third generously proportioned bedroom features a contemporary ensuite and the fourth bedroom impresses with its size and high-quality built-in wardrobes. 

The main family bathroom comprises a large quadrant shower and bath. 

Upstairs is the attic, currently used as games room and complete with a convenient guest WC.

Outside, a sweeping driveway leads up to the front of the property. A detached garage with loft storage is also included in the sale. The property has been fitted with thermal collectors, affording it a B3 energy efficiency. It also has a Zappi car charger. 

Enveloped by mature trees, well-kept lawns, and natural hedgerows, the property is a peaceful retreat from the busyness of life. Extending along the rear and side, a patio area and deck offer idyllic spaces for family gatherings and entertainment.

A short distance from Gorey town and the N11/M11, the property enjoys both the privacy and seclusion of rural life, while still being very well-connected. 

Currently on the market for €495,000, viewing is by appointment and can be organised through Lambert McCormack Property. In the meantime, take a closer look inside this bespoke architect-designed home in our gallery below.
