Property Description

DNG Reid & Coppinger are delighted to offer for sale this traditional stone cottage on a mature site of approximately 0.25 hectares (0.62 acres) at Ballinlough, Kill, Co. Waterford. Offering considerable potential for refurbishment, renovation and extension, the property represents an excellent opportunity for purchasers seeking to create a characterful country home in a peaceful rural setting, while remaining within easy reach of the Copper Coast, Waterford City and Dungarvan.

The existing cottage is of traditional stone construction and provides a valuable starting point for a refurbishment project. The property benefits from PVC double glazed windows, while the current accommodation comprises a living room measuring approximately 4.92m x 3.05m, kitchen measuring 2.13m x 2.99m, together with a substantial open-plan loft area measuring approximately 7.64m x 3.03m.

The property requires refurbishment and modernisation throughout but offers excellent potential to reconfigure and extend the existing dwelling, subject to the necessary planning and building requirements. Importantly, as there is an existing residential dwelling on the site, the property provides an attractive opportunity for purchasers who may not otherwise satisfy the local housing-need criteria generally associated with obtaining planning permission for a new rural dwelling. Any proposed extension or redevelopment would, of course, remain subject to the relevant planning requirements.

Set on approximately 0.62 acres, the site is surrounded by mature trees which provide a particularly attractive and established setting. The grounds are predominantly finished in stone and gravel and benefit from two separate entrances from the public road, providing flexibility in terms of access and the future layout of the property.

A particularly useful addition is the detached traditional stone shed/outbuilding, positioned adjacent to the cottage. Measuring approximately 8.00m x 5.00m, the building has a steel roof and provides excellent storage, workshop or ancillary space, with further potential depending on a purchaser's individual requirements and subject to any necessary permissions.

The property enjoys an appealing rural location at Ballinlough, approximately 2km from Kill Village. Kill provides a welcoming village setting and convenient access to the surrounding countryside and coastline. Kilmeaden is approximately 12km away, while Waterford City is approximately 25km from the property, providing access to an extensive range of employment, educational, shopping and recreational amenities.

One of the particular attractions of the location is its proximity to the Copper Coast and Waterford coastline. The seaside village of Bunmahon is approximately 6.5km away, while Boatstrand is approximately 6.7km, placing beaches, coastal walks and some of County Waterford's most attractive scenery within a short drive. The thriving coastal town of Dungarvan is approximately 27km away, offering an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, cafés and leisure amenities.

The location therefore provides an excellent balance between rural living and accessibility, with Waterford City to the east, Dungarvan to the west and the Copper Coast immediately to the south. For those seeking a renovation project, the combination of an existing stone cottage, generous mature site and substantial stone outbuilding provides considerable scope to create a distinctive country residence.

Services to the property are currently provided on a temporary basis from the adjoining property, and a purchaser will be required to make arrangements for independent permanent services as part of any refurbishment or redevelopment works.
