A Rare Coastal Opportunity on the Spectacular Hook Peninsula

A unique opportunity to acquire two charming stone-built dwellings in one of South Wexford’s most scenic and sought-after coastal locations. Nestled in the picturesque area of Templetown, between Fethard-on-Sea and Duncannon, this exceptional property enjoys an enviable setting on the Hook Peninsula, surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty and an endless stretch of spectacular coastline.

The area offers kilometers of un-spoilt sandy beaches and dramatic coastal walks, with the beautiful Dollar Bay, Booley Bay, Boyce’s Bay and Duncannon Beach all within easy reach. This idyllic corner of County Wexford is also home to the iconic Hook Lighthouse, the world's oldest operational lighthouse, making it a haven for beach lovers, walkers, watersports enthusiasts and anyone seeking a peaceful coastal retreat.

The property comprises two separate character-filled stone residences, both finished with natural slate roofs and double-glazed windows. The original farmhouse and its -sympathetically converted barn have been cherished family holiday homes for almost 40 years, providing generations of treasured memories in this remarkable setting.

Vacant since April 2024, the properties may now qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant (subject to eligibility), presenting an exciting opportunity for purchasers seeking either permanent homes or an investment with rental potential. While substantial refurbishment works, including air to water underfloor heating, re-wiring, high-quality carpentry, bathroom upgrades and increase in the height of the barn, were completed in 2013, the period of vacancy means some remedial works are now required. With imagination and sympathetic updating, these delightful homes offer enormous potential to create a truly special coastal residence or holiday retreat tailored to individual tastes.

The farmhouse accommodation comprises an inviting open-plan kitchen/dining room featuring traditional inglenook fireplace with solid fuel stove, exposed beams and natural stone-work, sitting room with open fireplace, two first floor bedrooms and shower room.

The converted barn offers a welcoming open-plan living/dining room with solid fuel stove, kitchenette and ground floor bathroom, together with two first-floor bedrooms.

Outside, the property, while requiring a generous helping of TLC, continues to impress with a generous gravel courtyard providing ample off-street parking, a sheltered courtyard style patio positioned between the two houses, a small garden, a private tennis court, detached garage offering valuable storage space, and an outdoor shower ideal for washing off sandy feet, wetsuits and surfboards after a day exploring the nearby beaches.

Properties of this nature, combining character, versatility and such an outstanding coastal setting, rarely come to the market. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the lifestyle and potential this exceptional property has to offer.

The Location – Situated in the picturesque area of Templetown on the spectacular South Wexford Coast, between Fethard-on-Sea and Duncannon, the property enjoys one of the county’s most desirable coastal settings. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, kilometers of sandy beaches and dramatic coastline.

The Opportunity – Vacant since April 2024, the properties may qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, subject to eligibility. While quality refurbishment works were completed in 2013, the period of vacancy means some remedial works are now required. Offering tremendous scope for enhancement, this is a rare opportunity for purchasers to restore and personalize two unique character homes in an exceptional coastal location.
