Ivella is a Latin word meaning ‘yew’ or ‘yew tree’ – an evergreen that represents longevity and immortality.
The house which it is named after in Enniscorthy, Co Wexford, doesn’t promise the fountain of youth or anything like it but it is one home that you’ll certainly want to live in forever.
Located on the Rectory Road, this two-storey 4 bed detached home offers a pretty incredible 262sqm of living space which has to be seen to be appreciated having been refurbished to the highest of standards in 2014.
Built in the 1800s, this superb town centre property benefits from scenic vistas and is just a five-minute walk from all the amenities in Enniscorthy.
Ivella is conveniently located only 90 minutes from Dublin city centre and a short 30-minute drive to Rosslare Europort, making it ideal for those seeking tranquillity without sacrificing accessibility.
This protected structure has been meticulously remodelled, harmoniously combining the charm of its heritage with modern comforts. It underwent an extensive transformation in 2014, merging two existing houses into one splendid dwelling.
All renovations were carried out with planning permission and conservation approval, ensuring the integrity and historical significance of the building were maintained.
Set on a generous 0.38-acre plot, Ivella features exquisitely landscaped gardens that include a delightful pergola patio lounge area and a separate al-fresco dining area with a built-in pizza oven, perfect for entertaining.
The accommodation is both expansive and elegant, beginning with a large entrance reception room that flows seamlessly into a cosy snug sitting room.
A spacious family lounge grants passage to the charming library room and opens onto the sun-filled south-facing patio, creating an ideal space for relaxation and gatherings.
The central hallway serves as the heart of this home, connecting to a vaulted kitchen and family dining booth. Practicality is prioritised with the inclusion of a larder room, a utility room, and a convenient bathroom located on the ground floor.
Ascend the staircase to find four generously sized bedrooms, including a master suite with an ensuite bathroom, alongside a separate family bathroom.
Ivella's main property extends to an impressive 262sqm, providing ample space for comfortable living. Complementing this is a separate one-room studio, accessed via an external staircase above the garage.
This self-contained unit, measuring approximately 27sqm, offers an open-plan living area, bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom, providing versatile accommodation for guests or as a private retreat. To complete this exceptional offering, a garage on the first floor extends to a further 27sqm, providing practical storage solutions.
