The Fountain, Youghal Road, Dungarvan, Waterford (c.558 m²)
SOLD
Size: c.558 m²
DNG Morrissey Properties are delighted to launch this well known landmark property to the open market. Formerly 'The Fountain Guesthouse', the Flynn Family traded here for many decades. The guesthouse accommodates fifteen bedrooms, large dining rooms and lounge rooms, and the benefit of an attached three bedroom dwelling house with independent access from the front. The car park to the front parks twenty cars, all surrounded by mature landscaped gardens to the front and rear of the property. The location on the Youghal Road is just off the main N25 Waterford/Cork roadway, and fifteen minutes walk from the centre of Dungarvan town, ideal for guests accessing all town facilities. This property presents huge potential to develop further as a guesthouse with Dungarvan now experiencing large volumes of visitors to the town each year. The property could also be considered as a home to transform into an exclusive single dwelling house with many substantial detached houses already constructed in this popular residential area.
Viewing Strictly by Appointment.
Dungarvan Town.
Dungarvan is a harbour town located at the heart of County Waterford on the doorstep of the Comeragh Mountains with its breath-taking waterfall and country wide view of the sunny south east. Dungarvan has many pretty beaches nearby, as well as being adjacent to the World Heritage Copper Coast. On the other side of the town is an area known as An Rinn which is a Gaeltacht or Gaelic speaking area which is renowned for its traditional Irish Music and steeped in Irish History and folklore.
Coastal drives are very popular along the scenic copper coastline. A more inland route will take you along the Comeragh Mountains and Mahon Falls, where, for the hill walker some really great walking routes await you.
Waterford Greenway.
Waterford greenway is a spectacular 46Km cycling and walking trail along an old railway line which takes you from stunning Dungarvan all the way to the Quays of Ireland oldest City, (Waterford).
One of the best ways to explore the Greenway is by bicycle which can be rented from numerous bike rental companies in Dungarvan. Some of the attractions on route are,
Dungarvan town with breath-taking views over the Dungarvan Bay on to the Ballyvoile tunnel.
Ballyvoile Tunnell is a 400 metre brick lined tunnel which is as fresh as the day it was constructed with amazing green growth at each entrance and dim lighting adding to the magic of this great experience.
Durrow Viaduct & Kilmacthomas Viaduct
There is a seven arch viaduct at Durrow and an eight arched viaduct at Kilmacthomas with old engineering marvels that will instantly impress.
Clonea Beach.
Clonea Strand is a long wide stretch of soft sandy beach ten minutes from Dungarvan town and is considered to be among the best beaches on Irelands South-East coast. People come here throughout the year for long walks, to fly kites, taking in the expansive views over the sea and the Comeragh Mountains In summer the clean sand enticing waves of Clonea Strand attract plenty of visitors, who come to sunbathe and play in the sands. There are rock pools scattered about the beach ends and children find hours of entertainment looking for crabs and other interesting sea life. The presence of a lifeguard during peak season makes it a popular spot for swimmers, surfing, kayaking, body boarding and other water sports.
Dungarvan Farmers Market.
Dungarvan Farmers Market is held in Grattan Square, Dungarvan every Thursday from 9.30am to 2.00pm.
The Farmers Market boasts a wide range of produce, from farmhouse cheeses, fresh fish, eggs, ready made meals, cakes, chocolate cakes, gluten free cakes, chocolate products, artisan breads, honey, desserts, and even flowers and shrubs for the garden.
Dungarvan Castle.
Dungarvan Castle is an Anglo-Norman fortification founded in 1185. It was built in a very strategic location at the mouth of the River Colligan. From here ships could be anchored and soldiers could command the narrow strip of land to the south of the Comeragh Mountains which linked East and West Waterford. The castle consists of polygonal shell keep with an enclosing curtain wall, a corner tower and a gate tower. The shell keep is the earliest structure, dating from the 12th century, Norman Invasion of Ireland.
