Property Description

This property is ideal for builders, DIY enthusiasts, or those looking to utilize the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant (up to €50,000) and the Derelict Property Top-up Grant (up to €20,000) - subject to Kilkenny County Council permission. Located in a peaceful, elevated setting with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside, this two-bedroom extended cottage presents a rare "blank canvas" opportunity for those with a vision. While currently in a run-down condition and requiring a full scheme of renovation and modernization, the property’s character and substantial plot offer the foundation for a truly unique bespoke home.

The original cottage has been extended to provide a functional two-bedroom layout, offering a great starting point for a modern redesign. The property sits on a generous site featuring a mix of hardstanding areas and garden space, providing plenty of room for further expansion. Enjoy the tranquility of rural Kilkenny while remaining within a short drive of essential amenities and major transport links.
