THE PROPERTY
In 1900, the home of the then Butler at Mount Congreve House was destroyed by fire, just as Edmond Power was reaching retirement. The Congreve family, grateful for lifetime of service, gifted “Hilltop” to him – so much better than a gold watch!

The house, styled after a Swiss Cottage, was built in the mid 1800’s. Standing on a very private site of just under one acre, it’s 4km from Waterford City, 3km from Butlerstown National School on a bus route, and 1km from the Greenway.

The Vendor’s mother was born here in 1914. Her daughter, Ella Shanahan, (Journalist with the Cork Examiner) extended the house in the 70’s, to include porch, sunny kitchen, 3 beds, 2 bath, sitting room and large home office/ 4h bedroom. Original tiled floors add character to the downstairs rooms. Out offices include the Butler’s original house, c.600 sq. ft., a 3 span hay shed, and a stone build cow byre which may qualify for a €70k restoration grant.

This well loved home has oil fired central heating (new boiler), BER D2, which can be easily improved, a new septic tank upgrade, and was recently redecorated.
