GETTING TO GRIPS with a fast-changing property market is tricky, but we’re here to make things simpler.
Each week, we’ll handpick a number of homes within a similar budget, to give you a snapshot of the property landscape at a particular price point.
This week, we’re looking at properties around Co Kilkenny with an asking price of exactly €450,000 – from a family home near the city to a bungalow by the River Nore.
Set on a private site with landscaped grounds, this five-bed property enjoys the peace and quiet of the Kilkenny countryside while still being within a 20-minute drive of the city. The house was purposely designed to be a family home, with several living areas throughout.
There are a number of unique design features throughout the property, including a feature oven with a stone surround and checkered tile floors. The master suite is particularly impressive, with an open-plan living area extending from the bedroom. Outside, there’s a generous patio area to the rear of the home.
Located within a 10-minute walk of Kilkenny city, 12 The Green is an ideal family home. There’s a primary school and secondary school just across the road from the estate, while there’s a creche within the development itself. In the centre of The Green, there’s a large lawn area with communal seating.
No 12 comes to the market in turn-key condition, with four bedrooms, a large living area, an open-plan kitchen and dining room, and a second floor bedroom suite with an en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. To the rear, the garden is south-west facing and features a patio area for dining al fresco.
Tucked away at the end of a private laneway, Gorseridge House is a beautiful property on 1.58 acres. The four-bed bungalow is located by the River Nore and is designed to enjoy the surrounding views from both indoors and outdoors. Outdoors, there’s a raised decking area which is accessed from the kitchen, and a separate sunken patio area closer to the river.
Indoors, the kitchen and dining room is semi-circle shaped and features eight picture windows with panoramic views of the river and the countryside. A high ceiling with wooden beams adds to the feeling of spaciousness, with room for a dining table to seat at least six.
Built in 2006, Willow Lodge is a unique, architect-designed home. Stepping inside the three-bed property, steps lead from the open-plan hallway to the living and dining room where there’s a striking feature curved wall and fireplace. Another set of steps lead up from here to the high gloss black kitchen, which is complete with a centre island and breakfast bar.
Two sets of French doors open from the living room and the kitchen to a spacious patio and decking area, which overlooks part of the manicured gardens on the 1.41 acre site. There are three double bedrooms in the property, with a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom with a jacuzzi bath extending from the master bedroom.
