Sci-fi writer and — following the death of Douglas Adams — author of the sixth instalment of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Eoin Colfer, is selling his estate in Ireland.

The writer, also known for his series Artemis Fowl, has listed five-bedroom Ballymorris House in Wexford for £1.43 million with Christie’s International Real Estate.

He wrote novels, two musicals and a Hitchhiker’s sequel at the house, a former middle-sized 19th-century farmhouse and outbuildings, now transformed into a light-filled modern home with high ceilings and statement windows.

Guests can enjoy the separate one-bedroom apartment in the courtyard, which would also make a fabulous office.

Recently renovated, this characterful home makes the perfect writer’s retreat.
