The Main House
A majestic gated entrance leads to a wonderful tree lined avenue through the landscaped grounds , gently winding its way towards the elegant Manor fa?ade creating an enchanting first impression.
Stepping through the front door from the cut granite steps you are greeted by a grand entrance hall with marble floor, soaring ceilings, period detailing, and a sweeping staircase that sets a tone of timeless refinement. The hall draws the eye through the house towards the garden, creating an immediate sense of light and space.
To one side, the formal reception room is bathed in natural light from its dual aspect sash windows all keeping in character with it`s era. A fine marble fireplace forms the focal point, while the room`s generous proportions and garden outlook make it ideal for entertaining guests or relaxing in refined comfort. At the heart of the home lies a beautifully appointed kitchen, fitted with bespoke cabinetry, a large central island, and granite work surfaces. Equipped with high-quality appliances, it is both stylish and practical. The dining area provides the perfect place for informal dining while enjoying views over the gardens.

A guest wc is tucked away passing the fabulous staircase in the main hall and features timeless quality finishes.
Stepping down to the elegant basement level which also has separate access from the rear Courtyard you are welcomed by the most fabulous proportioned rooms. The dining room, with its elegant proportions, offers a graceful setting for family gatherings and dinner parties alike. The solid fuel stove with feature brick wall, natural stone floor and window views to the garden make this room a real show stopper.

Two spacious bedrooms complete the accommodation at basement level. With separate rear access from the main house this has endless potential.
The first floor accessed by the most beautiful mahogany stairs welcomes you to a beautiful landing with views of the fabulous gardens and countryside. Stepped up you are brought to a very bright and airy gallery perfect for a range of endeavours. A shower room with elegant finishes lies close to the gallery. The upper floor is devoted to generously sized bedrooms, each filled with natural light and period character.

A number of paddocks surround the main home ideal for equestrian use, hobby farming, or simply enjoying the open Wexford countryside.
History
Charlesfort House is a distinguished country residence whose story is woven into the fabric of North Wexford. Originally constructed in the early 19th century by Charles Dawson, the house reflects the elegance and proportions of its period.
In 1977, a devastating fire reduced Charlesfort to a ruin, its noble walls standing as a silent reminder of a bygone era. Nearly three decades later, in 2004 2005, the property was acquired and lovingly restored by the current owners. The restoration was carried out with great care, blending modern craftsmanship with traditional materials to revive the building`s original grandeur. Period features such as tall sash windows, fine plasterwork, and spacious reception rooms were re-established.
Charlesfort House has also played a role in the cultural and sporting life of the region, having been closely associated with prominent GAA administrator Martin O`Neill. Today, it stands not only as a beautiful country house but also as a landmark of resilience and renewal in County Wexford`s architectural heritage.
Location
Charlesfort House enjoys a peaceful countryside setting in Tombrack, north County Wexford. This stunning property is less than 5km from the village itself, which was the ancient capital of Leinster and gateway to the former Norman city of Wexford. The village has a vibrant community, served by a number of local businesses and amenities. Within easy reach of the larger towns of Gorey, Bunclody, Enniscorthy.
An absolutely perfect location for life in the country, with a feeling of grandeur and luxurious solitude, whilst being only one hour from the nation`s capital city, Dublin, and a mere 45 minute drive south to Rosslare Harbour and access by ferry to mainland Europe. The beautiful sandy beaches of the Wexford Coastline are only a 30 minute drive away.
