Description
Special Features • Projected development layout available for illustrative purposes only • An increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial site in an established Kilkenny location • Potential to investigate alternative use or further residential development of the site, subject to planning permission • Excellent opportunity to create a comfortable detached city home • Existing residence offers considerable scope for modernisation and upgrading • Substantial private and walled site • Excellent opportunity to create a comfortable detached city home • Close to shops, schools and everyday amenities Fran Grincell Properties are delighted to offer 278 New Orchard, Kilkenny to the market — a detached three-bedroom bungalow occupying a particularly private and substantial site in a highly convenient location within Kilkenny City. The strength of this property is undoubtedly the combination of location, site size and future potential. Positioned within easy reach of local shops, schools, sporting facilities and Kilkenny City Centre. The existing bungalow is a solid and functional home which now requires modernisation and decorative upgrading, giving its new owner the opportunity to refurbish and redesign the accommodation to suit their own requirements. Beyond its appeal as a refurbishment opportunity, the overall site offers another dimension entirely. The generous plot and its position within an established urban setting may offer potential for the site to be repurposed or considered for further residential development, including the possibility of a number of residential units, strictly subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission and all relevant consents. The projected site layout shown is for illustrative purposes only and demonstrates one possible concept rather than an approved development. Internally, the accommodation is arranged on one level. The entrance hall provides access to the living and bedroom accommodation. To the front is a comfortable sitting room, featuring a traditional fireplace and built-in storage. This leads through to the dining room, which in turn connects with the galley-style kitchen with access from here to rear garden. There are three bedrooms, offering flexibility for family living, guest accommodation or the increasingly important home office. A generously proportioned family bathroom, complete with a large shower enclosure, completes the principal accommodation. Externally is where No. 278 becomes particularly interesting. The property is walled and exceptionally private, with extensive garden space surrounding the bungalow. A large lawned rear garden provides a wonderful outdoor area, complemented by mature planting and established boundaries. There is also a detached garage and separate garden shed, providing excellent additional storage. With detached properties on substantial sites becoming increasingly difficult to find within Kilkenny City, 278 New Orchard represents an opportunity where location and potential are every bit as important as the existing residence. These particulars are issued strictly on the understanding that they do not form part of any contract and are provided, without liability, as a general guide only to what is being offered subject to contract and availability. They are not to be constructed as containing any representation of fact upon which any interested party is entitled to rely. Any intending purchaser or lessee should satisfy themselves by inspection or otherwise as to the accuracy of these particulars. The vendor or lessor do not make, give or imply nor is Fran Grincell or its staff authorized to make, give or imply any representation or warranty whatsoever in respect of this property.
