Ozier Hill was originally a farmhouse dating from before 1741. Ozier Hill was remodelled in the mid-19th century as a Church of Ireland rectory.

From the French, the term ‘ozier’ is a variant of the topographic name for someone who lived near a willow tree or willow grove and stems from the Gaulish word ‘osier’ or ‘willow’.

Set within its own copse of specimen trees on a plot of some 13 acres in Taghmon in Co Wexford is Ozier Hill, a charming period home of almost 360 square metres, which has just come to market with Marcus Magnier of Colliers, who is guiding €950,000 for it.

The beautifully presented residence would suit buyers with an equestrian lean given its adjoining attractive stone courtyard and competition-size, all-weather sand arena, which is surrounded by lush gardens and good grazing land.
