The property was originally built in 1740 and underwent improvements in the 1840s giving the distinguished Italian style that can still be seen today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"indo-ebe0ecc6_root indo-ebe0ecc6_paragraph indo-300db776_none indo-91174671_primary indo-1d70522a_marginbottom5 indo-1d70522a_margintop0 indo-b48c4984_inherit\" style=\"color:var(--color-primary-80)\">The property benefits from a large site area, and former tannery buildings to the rear of the main house, offering significant development potential, subject to obtaining all necessary planning consents.

The RE zoning provides for enterprise and, or, residential led regeneration, while HA is intended to protect a highly sensitive and scenic location from inappropriate development which would adversely affect the environmental quality of the locations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"indo-ebe0ecc6_root indo-ebe0ecc6_paragraph indo-300db776_none indo-91174671_primary indo-1d70522a_marginbottom5 indo-1d70522a_margintop0 indo-b48c4984_inherit\" style=\"color:var(--color-primary-80)\">Interested parties can contact the property agent Richard Hoey at richard.hoey@bidx1.com or call 085 804 8210.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mayfield House and Tannery, Portlaw, County Waterford.
