Nestled in the serene coastal village of Woodstown, Co. Waterford, Oyster Bay Lodge stands as a testament to architectural brilliance and luxurious living. This stunning detached house, designed with meticulous attention to detail, sprawls over an impressive 640 square meters. Built 15 years ago, the residence is set on approximately 3 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and mature plantings, creating an idyllic retreat just a stone's throw from Woodstown Beach. Boasting a commendable B1 energy rating, Oyster Bay Lodge is as efficient as it is elegant.
The property is approached from the public road through electronic gates, leading to a sweeping driveway that culminates in a gravelled forecourt. This entrance sets the tone for the elegance and privacy that define Oyster Bay Lodge. The ground floor is home to five spacious bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom. Two of these bedrooms feature baths, enhancing the sense of luxury. Most bedrooms also boast walk-in wardrobes, offering ample storage space, and all but one have direct access to the beautiful gardens, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Additionally, a study on the ground floor provides a versatile space ideal for an office or gym.
One of the standout features of the ground floor is the large atrium with seating that overlooks the lush garden, providing a serene spot to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. This space is designed to be a haven of tranquillity, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The ground floor's thoughtful layout ensures that every room enjoys abundant natural light and garden views, enhancing the overall sense of openness and connection to nature.
Upstairs, a bright hallway with high ceilings and an open fire welcomes residents and guests alike. The expansive eat-in kitchen and dining room is a chef's dream, equipped with high-end Miele appliances, including two multi-functional ovens and a De Dietrich hob. A spacious island serves as the perfect gathering spot for family and friends, making this area the heart of the home. This space opens onto a large, decked balcony, ideal for summer barbecues and al fresco dining while enjoying views over the garden. The kitchen's design combines functionality with style, ensuring that it is both a practical and inviting space.
Adjacent to the kitchen, a cosy lounge also offers access to the balcony, providing an inviting space for relaxation. This lounge, with its comfortable seating and warm ambiance, is perfect for intimate gatherings or quiet evenings at home. Towards the front of the property, the living and dining room impresses with stunning high ceilings and curved walls, complemented by a stove that adds warmth and character. This space is perfect for entertaining, with its elegant design and spacious layout. Next to this space, another reception room provides a quiet retreat for reading or can serve as a second office, offering a versatile area that can be tailored to suit individual needs.
The outside grounds of Oyster Bay Lodge are equally impressive, featuring nearly three acres of meticulously landscaped gardens. The well-planted lawns and various seating areas are strategically placed to capture the best aspects of the sun throughout the day. These gardens provide a peaceful and picturesque setting, ideal for outdoor activities and relaxation. A double garage with electronic gates offers secure parking and storage, ensuring that the property meets all practical needs.
Oyster Bay Lodge’s location is highly desirable, situated a short drive from Waterford City and the charming village of Dunmore East. The property is a five-minute walk to Woodstown Beach, a place where Jackie Onassis (Kennedy) once played with her children during their visit to Ireland. This historic connection adds a touch of legacy and charm to the area.
In summary, Oyster Bay Lodge is a luxurious coastal retreat that combines modern comforts with architectural elegance.
