WHEN WE THINK of a coach house, a small building that complements a larger main house can often spring to mind. But that’s certainly not the case at Belmont House. Perched on an elevated and secluded plot of about .78 acres, this immaculately transformed coach house spans a whopping 600 m². What’s more is that it is the perfect blend of history and modern luxury with stunning views of the River Suir. Excusing both charm and sophistication, it’s an ideal choice for those seeking a family home with character, space and great quality features.

Originally built as a coach house, the property underwent a comprehensive renovation and expansion in 2002, overseen by renowned local architect Martin Tritschler. The result is a remarkable family residence that seamlessly combines the original structure’s exposed stone and brickwork with a striking modern two level cedar-clad extension.

With its impressive floor area, this home’s interior design mission was to offer a perfect balance of warmth, comfort and luxury.

Step inside and the charm of this home is immediately clear. The entrance porch, with its original exposed stonework, sets the tone for the entire property, leading into a spacious hall with a stunning open riser staircase. The living spaces throughout the home are flooded with natural light, thanks to expansive windows, skylights and French doors that open onto the beautifully landscaped garden.

The heart of the home is the generous living and dining area, which features a vaulted ceiling, four Velux roof lights and a raised inset stove. With a dual aspect, the space feels bright and airy, offering views of both the gardens and the swimming pool. The dining area benefits from a picture window that frames the pool and lawn. From here, a uniquely curved hallway leads to the kitchen – the culinary haven. The bespoke German Bulthaup kitchen is designed for both style and practicality, with off-white units, Miele appliances, a Rayburn range and a breakfast bar. Two sets of French doors open to a sheltered deck and the pool area, perfect for outdoor dining.

The first floor suite offers a private retreat, with a dual aspect double bedroom overlooking the gardens and pool, a smaller balcony and built-in wardrobes. The luxurious en suite bathroom features a separate power shower for total relaxation. Four more large bedrooms (all with en suite bathrooms and two with river views) are on the first floor, each offering plenty of space and comfort.

This home also includes a standalone studio, offering endless potential. Whether used as a guest house, rental unit or home office, the studio provides an open plan living and dining area, a kitchen, three more bedrooms and a shower room.

The grounds surrounding the property are equally impressive. The lawns, interspersed with mature trees, offer privacy and a peaceful atmosphere. The gravel driveway, with its box hedging, leads up to the house, while the back of the home features a 12 metre swimming pool with an expansive deck and lawn area.
