Description
Hillcrest is in a very attractive location, within minutes walk of the centre of Kinsale town and positioned at the top of the hill where Rose Abbey meets Blindgate. It's hilltop setting, east-west orientation and large windows front and rear result in a light filled home with very pleasant views over the roof tops of town. And the convenient address makes it suitable for those wanting to be within easy walking distance of the centre of town, primary schools and the secondary school. The two storey home has been beautifully maintained over the years and is presented to the market in immaculate condition. The accommodation amounts to 124 sq m (1337 sq ft) and is laid out over two floors. The entrance hall opens to the main reception room with dual aspect windows, to the rear is the kitchen and family room both overlooking the back garden and with a westerly aspect. A door from the kitchen opens to the attached garage and guest wc and on to the garden. Upstairs are the four bedrooms, all with large windows and the family bathroom. Outside, there is parking for two cars to the front and a garage attached to the house. A lovely south and west facing garden is to the rear of the house and has a yard area to the side with a shed. Heating is oil fired. The sale of this property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a detached property in the heart of Kinsale town, with potential to develop further by extending the current footprint or modernise the existing home as it has such a lovely layout and is flooded with natural light.
