Property Description

Positioned in the very heart of Kilkenny City’s celebrated Medieval Quarter, No. 9 Abbey Street presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained two-bedroom mid-terrace townhouse brimming with character, charm and history. Tucked away just off Parliament Street, Abbey Street is one of the city’s most picturesque and historic addresses, with the protected archway remnants of the old city wall leading through to the renowned Black Abbey, creating a truly unique setting steeped in heritage.

Presented in excellent condition throughout, No. 9 has been lovingly refurbished and carefully maintained by its current owners, who have gone to great lengths to preserve the property's original character while incorporating modern comforts and thoughtful design features. The result is an inviting and intimate home that offers both warmth and practicality in equal measure.

Accommodation begins with an entrance hallway leading to a charming front living room featuring a striking fireplace and timber-effect flooring, creating a cosy and welcoming atmosphere. An attractive archway leads seamlessly through to the kitchen/dining area, located to the rear of the property. This bright and functional space boasts high-quality wall and floor cabinetry, while clever use of space sees the washing machine discreetly concealed beneath the staircase.

Also at ground floor level is a beautifully appointed bathroom, finished with elegant cream wall and floor tiling. A rear door opens onto a wonderfully private courtyard-style yard, where exposed stone walls add character and authenticity. Benefiting from excellent sunlight, this tranquil outdoor space is perfect for relaxing or entertaining on long summer evenings.

Upstairs, the attention to detail continues. The first-floor landing enjoys an abundance of natural light from both a Velux roof window and a traditional sash window, creating a bright and airy feel. Newly fitted cream carpets further enhance the sense of comfort and quality. There are two spacious double bedrooms positioned to the front and rear of the property, both featuring new carpets and attractive doors that perfectly complement the home's cosy cottage-style ambience. The rear bedroom also enjoys the benefit of traditional sash windows, further reflecting the owners’ commitment to maintaining the property's historic appeal.

What truly sets No. 9 apart is its unmistakable character. From its carefully preserved features to its intimate proportions and historic surroundings, this is a home with a genuine sense of place. Its exceptional location places every city convenience within easy walking distance, including shops, cafés, restaurants, schools and cultural attractions, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a vibrant city lifestyle. Whether you are a first-time buyer looking for a unique home in a prime location, or an investor seeking a turnkey property with excellent appeal, No. 9 Abbey Street is sure to impress.
