Property Description

Green Lodge is a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a detached dormer bungalow on a generous, private site in one of Kilkenny City's most sought after residential locations. Positioned on the mature and highly regarded Newpark Drive, this charming property combines a peaceful, secluded setting with exceptional convenience, being just a short 10 minute walk from Kilkenny City Centre. With spacious accommodation, a sun filled, south west facing garden, and excellent potential for modernisation, Green Lodge offers discerning purchasers the chance to create a truly special home in a prime location.
Situated in a well established residential area, the property enjoys immediate access to a wealth of local amenities. Newpark Shopping Centre, located directly opposite, provides everyday conveniences including SuperValu and a range of retail outlets. The area is renowned for its excellent educational facilities, with Kilkenny College, St. Kieran's College and Loreto Secondary School all within close proximity, along with a selection of primary schools. The property benefits from excellent connectivity, with easy access to the R700 (Castlecomer Road) and R693 (Freshford Road), both of which link directly to the N10 Ring Road, providing onward connection to the M9 motorway for commuters travelling to Dublin, Carlow and Waterford.
Public transport is also well catered for, with regular bus services operating along the Castlecomer Road and throughout the city. Kilkenny MacDonagh Train Station is located just a short distance away, offering frequent rail connections to Dublin Heuston, Waterford and beyond, making this an ideal location for those commuting or seeking convenient regional access. Kilkenny City Centre itself offers a vibrant mix of shops, restaurants, cafes and cultural attractions, ensuring all amenities are within easy reach.
Constructed in the 1960s, Green Lodge is a distinctive concrete built bungalow with a tiled roof and PVC double glazed windows. The property stands on a substantial, mature site, accessed via an attractive limestone boundary wall and electric gates, leading to a private gravel driveway framed by established trees. While the residence has been well maintained over the years, it would benefit from modernisation throughout, offering excellent scope for upgrading and personalisation. The well proportioned accommodation extends over two levels and includes multiple reception rooms, five bedrooms, most with ensuites, and versatile living spaces.
