Glasshouse, Gorteens, Slieverue, Co. Kilkenny, X91C8P8

Property Partners Doherty Buggy are delighted to present this charming three-bedroomed country cottage to the market. This property sits peacefully on a sheltered tree-filled site (circa 0.11 Hectare / 0.27 Acre) surrounded by abundance of natural wildlife and woodland habitat. The Glasshouse in Slieverue, Co. Kilkenny, was the site of the first major glass-making factory in the Waterford area, established in 1729. Operating for roughly a decade, it laid the foundation for the region's renowned glass industry before closing due to English trade restrictions. Today, the area sits directly beside the bustling Port of Waterford. ACCOMMODATION: The original cottage was built in 1876 approx. and has been extended over the years. The light-filled accommodation extends to 81 Sq. M. / 871 Sq. Ft. (approx.) and comprises: entrance hall, living room, kitchen/dining room, three bedrooms, bathroom and utility room/rear hall. The property needs modernisation and it allows for ample scope to upgrade and extend to the rear, subject to the required planning permission. This is a perfect opportunity for buyers to further enhance and create the house of their dreams. OUTSIDE: This home sits within a truly idyllic setting, embraced by mature native trees and teeming with natural wildlife. The small front garden is fully walled with a pedestrian pathway to the front door. Double vehicular entrance gates provide secure off-street parking. The rear garden is laid in lawn and is perfect as a secure children’s play area or for al-fresco dining and entertainment. The grounds contain a range of outbuildings which are practical for further storage needs. LOCATION: The popular location is convenient to all local amenities including Slieverue village which is just a four-minute drive away (via Belview Port Road/N29). The important amenities in Slieverue consist of: Slieverue National School, Greenacres Childcare, Slieverue GAA Club and pitch, Inver Service Station and supermarket, church and Stapletons Public House.
