Laurelea, Glendine Road, Kilkenny, Co. Kilkenny, R95FP8A

There's always a level of nostalgia about marketing a property of this type. Lauralea can be recognised as one of the iconic properties opposite Kilkenny Golf Club, which is a location that to this day is recognized for its quality. Lauralea is an extended and upgraded family home, with an original architectural design that still holds true and is still a beautifully bright home to walk through, with so many original features, still included, by today's architects. Located within walking distance of The Model Primary School, Kilkenny College Secondary School, The Glendine Inn, and Newpark Hotel and Leisure Centre, it's easy to see why the Glendine Road, is such a desirable residential location. The 19th hole at Kilkenny Golf Club is an obvious attraction but really Lauralea's proximity to motorway access and Kilkenny's Ring Road is a real feature and asset. The site size and the position of the house on it are exceptional. A full south and west-facing side and rear garden, is a huge asset. Solar panels have been installed as part of the upgrade and to take advantage of the orientation of the house. Lauralea is of an era, but the level of care and maintenance it has received, wipes years off the property. A large, gated entrance and sweeping tarmacadam driveway create great space for parking and lawned areas for further development potential. The roof structure to the property has only recently been upgraded, taking away any worries on that. The attached garage space is an obvious positive for further development and change of use, but the positive with Lauralea is the volume of space it already holds and the positive layout design it has. Stepping inside Lauralea is special. The double height feature window is a magnificent feature and solid teak, split level open thread stairs, enhances the feature further. It still looks and works magnificently well. The main living room is to the right as you enter and again the window design and glass patio doors offers an amazing aesthetic. Again, the volume of space this room holds leaves it with only cosmetic works. The family room to the left is a lovely big and bright space with oodles of potential to open into the already large kitchen/dining space or into the attached garage. The kitchen to the rear of the house holds a wonderful feel. It's bright and spacious and enjoys the perfect connection to the outside garden space. Again, the roof structure was upgraded on the extended portion of the kitchen. The quality of the build shines through as you step through and really with the volume of daylight, flowing into the kitchen you could see you'd definitely want to spend time here, with the garden view it's gorgeous. The fitted units and granite worktop have a modern finish to them and again it's the volume of space to the room, that deserves to be recognized. Off the kitchen is the utility space and visitor's w/c as well as access to the attached garage space. Ascending the feature stairs to the first floor is a lovely experience, with the steps set at a low level, access is easy. There are 4 bedrooms on the first floor, each double in size. The obvious potential is there and at a low cost to reconfigure this room space, should you wish. There's also the option to extend the first floor onto the single-storey extension and cheaply create more bedroom space. The family bathroom is located centrally to the 4 bedrooms, it is of its era, but again easily upgraded. There is attic space, and it does hold excellent storage space. The outside space to Lauralea is special. The volume of space and the options it holds to create a family space to enjoy is endless. The added advantage of a southwest garden is special and it's only when you have such that you realise how important it is. There's easy access to the rear from both side of the house again adding to desirability. Viewing Lauralea is a pleasurable experience so book in for a private viewing.
