Property Description

Traditional Detached Residence on c. 0.51 Acre.

A traditional detached country residence standing on a generous site of approximately 0.51 acre, enjoying a peaceful rural setting just 8km from Castlecomer and within easy commuting distance of both Carlow and Kilkenny City.

Occupying a mature site and set behind a gated entrance, the property enjoys a pleasant orientation within its own grounds, with the principal rooms overlooking the front driveway rather than directly onto the adjoining public road. This arrangement creates a greater sense of privacy and seclusion than is often found in traditional roadside homes and gives the property an attractive, tucked-away feel.

The residence is approached via a driveway and benefits from generous side and rear gardens (currently overgrown), providing ample outdoor space for gardening, recreation or future enhancement. A separate pedestrian entrance with footpath offers additional access. The rear garden enjoys a desirable southerly aspect while the eastern side garden benefits from morning sunshine.

Extending over two floors, the accommodation comprises entrance porch, parlour, living room, kitchen and shower room at ground floor level, with three bedrooms and landing overhead.

While requiring refurbishment and modernisation throughout, the property offers purchasers a rare opportunity to restore a traditional home of character and create a comfortable countryside residence tailored to their own tastes and requirements. The house possesses the solid proportions and enduring appeal often associated with older homes and represents an ideal project for those seeking a property with genuine potential.

The property may qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant - it has been vacant for over two years - subject to purchasers satisfying the relevant scheme criteria and obtaining the necessary approvals.
