In the very heart of Enniscorthy stands No. 21 Main Street, a distinguished three-storey residence with rear extension that combines commercial potential, architectural significance, and elegant living space in one exceptional package.

Built c.1900 and recognised as a protected structure on the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage, this Tudor-inspired property showcases a striking façade with original sash windows, ornate front arch, oriel window and gabled roofline - features that immediately set it apart.

History & Heritage
Originally owned by the Catholic Church, the property later became home to the Bowe family, who ran a long-standing medical practice here. More recently, it was occupied by the Ova family and currently trades on the ground floor as a boutique retail space.

Throughout its history, the property has retained its period character, with original hall tiles, staircases, panelled shutters, decorative plasterwork, fireplaces, and timber floors still intact, now complemented by a state-of-the-art rear extension.

Ground Floor - Commercial & Residential Opportunity
The ground floor currently accommodates a thriving boutique but holds full commercial planning consent, making it ideal for retail, café/restaurant, or gallery use. Equally, this space could be reconfigured into additional residential accommodation. The impressive entrance hall, with its original mosaic floor and archways, leads to well-proportioned rooms, changing facilities, WC, and a large storage/office that could easily double as an additional bedroom.

A beautifully designed corridor, flooded with light from roof glazing, leads through to the rear extension - a spectacular kitchen/dining/living room opening onto the walled garden. The bespoke kitchen, crafted by Kieran Courtney Kitchens, is finished in striking black tones with quartz worktops, island unit, and high-spec appliances, all set beneath roof lights and large glazed doors that invite natural light into the space.

First Floor - Elegant Living Quarters
The first floor offers a warm and stylish main living room with high ceilings, timber flooring, coving, and an original fireplace, paired with a further versatile reception room ideal as a study or drawing room. The master suite is a true highlight, with built-in wardrobes, sash windows, luxurious ensuite complete with roll-top bath, and exquisite decorative finishes. This level also features a delightful window seat overlooking Main Street and the spires of St. Aidan's Cathedral - the perfect reading nook.

Second Floor - Family Comfort
The top floor is home to four generous bedrooms, each thoughtfully decorated and fitted with wardrobes in most rooms. A modern shower room, tiled in natural tones, completes the accommodation.

Additional Features
Zoned oil-fired central heating
Original open fireplaces throughout
Mixture of timber, tiled, and carpet flooring
Home office/playroom options
Low-maintenance walled rear garden, ideal for entertaining

No. 21 Main Street is much more than a home - it is a rare piece of Enniscorthy's history, thoughtfully preserved and enhanced for modern living. With its enviable Main Street location, flexible commercial use, exceptional interiors and protected architectural heritage, this property offers enormous potential to those seeking a residence or investment of genuine distinction.
