Description

Jordan Auctioneers are delighted to present Gallowshill, an impressive, detached family residence standing on approximately 0.64 acre of beautifully mature private gardens in one of Athy's most sought-after residential locations.

Extending to approximately 197 sq. m. (2,120 sq. ft.), the property offers spacious and well-balanced family accommodation together with magnificent mature gardens, a detached double garage and tremendous scope for purchasers to further enhance and personalise the residence to suit their own lifestyle. THE RESIDENCE Constructed during the 1990's, this impressive, detached residence extends to approximately 197 sq. m. (2,120 sq. ft.) and occupies a mature private site approached through a recessed entrance with sweeping tarmacadam driveway. Designed with comfortable family living in mind, the accommodation is exceptionally well proportioned, offering an excellent balance of formal and informal reception rooms together with four generous bedrooms. Large windows throughout ensure the principal rooms are flooded with natural light while making the most of the beautiful gardens and surrounding countryside. Externally, the residence features a rendered finish beneath a pitched tiled roof together with uPVC double glazed windows and oil-fired central heating. The property has been carefully maintained over the years and is presented in excellent condition throughout. While immediately ready for occupation, Gallowshill also presents purchasers with an exciting opportunity to modernise or further extend the residence, subject to the necessary planning permission, allowing the next owners to create a home tailored to their own individual tastes and requirements. Whether for growing families, those working from home or purchasers seeking generous living space in a peaceful yet convenient setting, Gallowshill offers flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find. LOCATION & LIFESTYLE Gallowshill occupies one of Athy's most established and desirable residential addresses, offering the rare combination of a peaceful countryside setting with the convenience of being within walking distance of the town centre.
