This detached dormer bungalow on Wexford’s Hook Head peninsula has impressive coastal and countryside views, taking in the historic Hook Lighthouse and Loftus Hall, said to be Ireland’s most haunted mansion.

With its chocolate-box appearance, Mornington has a meditation garden accessed via red gates.

Off the entrance hall, which has timber flooring and a wood pellet stove, there’s a living room which in turn leads on to an open-plan kitchen/dining room with doors to a patio.

Also at this level is a utility room, two bedrooms and a shower room.

The main bedroom is upstairs and comes with an en suite bathroom. Next to that is a triple-aspect sitting room with picture windows designed to make the most of the surrounding views. This could be a fourth bedroom if required.

Outside, the landscaped gardens feature coastal-loving shrubs and perennials, while the meditation garden is a peaceful space simply laid out with large rocks, gravel and bamboo fencing.

There’s also a double garage, out-offices and potting sheds in the grounds.

With a floor area of 1,668 sq ft and a B3 BER, Mornington is likely to appeal equally to buyers looking for a family home in a coastal setting and city dwellers seeking a seaside holiday retreat.

It’s a 10-minute drive to Fethard-on-Sea and 15 to Duncannon. Rosslare Harbour Europort is an hour’s drive away and it’s about two hours to Dublin.
