Ennis Gough Property is delighted to be marketing this stunning house in Carrigeen, Co Kilkenny. Located only a few minutes from the N25, M9 and Waterford city, the property is situated in a delightful quiet rural location, yet close to Waterford city and the local national road network.
Built in 2006, this spacious detached dormer home is located on a plot of (circa) 1Ha or 2.4 Acres with a detached home gym and storage shed, and a selection of hard and soft landscaping on an extensive plot.
The 320m2 of accommodation is impressive. A double height hallway sets the scene and makes a grand first impression. To the right a large livingroom with two windows overlooking the landscaped front lawn, and a beautiful period style fireplace.
Behind it, there’s a large “L” shaped kitchen, dining and living room with double doors leading out onto the east facing patio, ideal for outdoor breakfast when the weather allows. This living room area features a solid fuel stove. A door off this room leads into another reception room, which might be suitable for a playroom, study, office or another lounge.
Four bedrooms and the family bathroom make up the remainder of the ground floor of (Ca) 2000ft2. The master bedroom features a fitted out walk in wardrobe and an en-suite shower room. The main bathroom downstairs features a bath and separate shower enclosure.
The first floor features a galleried landing which has been furnished as a reading nook or study. Off the landing is the upstairs bathroom and two enormous double bedrooms, both with their own walk-in wardrobes. One room is connected to the bathroom (Jack & Jill style) providing a second ensuite bedroom suite.
Outdoors, the site features landscaped gardens, specimen trees and shrubs, and an area of undeveloped land at the rear that might be transformed into an extended lawn, or be suitable for dogs, ponies or vegetable growing.
The property benefits from oil fired central heating, but supplemented by two solid fuel stoves and an open fire.
Alongside the house is the home gym, a detached block built structure with central heating and a toilet, This could be re-purposed as a granny-flat, office, workshop or income generating short term rental accommodation, such as Air BnB.
A separate block built shed provides storage for garden tools, equipment, bicycles and outdoor furniture/toys.
The property is located a short distance south of Carrigeen, just beside Corluddy Castle, a local landmark dating back to Norman times and rumoured to be connected to nearby Grannagh Castle by a secret underground passageway.
Carrigeen has a thriving primary school and the closest secondary schools are Mooncoin, Ferrybank and Waterford City.
Carrigeen and Mooncoin both field GAA teams and are steeped in local GAA history.
This spacious property is ideal for someone with a family, possibly working from home and needing quick access to the M9 or N25 for trips to Dublin or Cork airports.
While Mooncoin has a large Centra only a few minutes down the road, local residents have a greater choice of shops in Waterford city, about 10 minutes away.
