Description

Set in the peaceful and well-regarded area of Blanchville, Dunbell, this charming extended cottage offers an ideal balance of rural tranquillity and everyday convenience. Recognising the strong appeal of its location, the property benefits from close proximity to local schools, making it particularly attractive for families. It also enjoys easy access to Kilkenny City and the M9 motorway, ensuring excellent connectivity for commuting while retaining a distinctly relaxed, countryside setting. Originally a traditional cottage, the property has been thoughtfully extended and now comprises approximately 1,000 sq. ft. of well-proportioned living accommodation. The interior offers a comfortable and functional layout, suited to modern living while still retaining a sense of character. A bright and welcoming entrance hall forms the central link between the original cottage and the newer extension, creating a natural flow throughout the home. This thoughtful connection allows both sections of the house to function cohesively while still retaining their own distinct character. Many of the original cottage features remain intact, adding charm and authenticity, while key upgrades have been carefully introduced. Notably, the property benefits from upgraded double-glazed windows and doors, along with an efficient heating system powered by a Stanley oil cooker, ensuring comfort and energy efficiency. To the front, a generously proportioned dual-aspect sitting room with open fireplace, is flooded with natural light, creating an ideal family room. This space flows seamlessly into an additional dining/living area, centred around the Stanley oil cooker, creating a warm and inviting hub within the home. From here, there is direct access to a bright rear kitchen, fitted with oak units and a door leading to the back garden. Altogether, this interconnected layout offers excellent potential for reconfiguration or the creation of a modern open-plan living space, depending on the purchaser’s vision. The original cottage accommodates three well-proportioned bedrooms along with a main bathroom, allowing this section of the home to operate independently from the main living areas if desired. The bedrooms are bright, dry, and airy, featuring upgraded windows and built-in storage. The bathroom space presents further opportunity, with sufficient scale to be reconfigured—potentially creating an ensuite and dressing area while still maintaining a family bathroom. Externally, the property enjoys a generous site. The area to the left-hand side (as viewed from the front) forms part of the overall holding, along with the gardens to the rear, offering ample outdoor space for a variety of uses. The site boundaries are clearly illustrated in the accompanying drone imagery. The property is serviced by a septic tank and its own private well. Opportunities such as this are increasingly rare combining a solid existing home with genuine scope for enhancement in a sought-after location. Early viewing is highly recommended.
