Description
Castlecomer Road, Kilkenny – A Clear-Cut Refurbishment & Investment Opportunity This is a property with multiple, clearly defined opportunities, where the extent of works required is fully visible—making for a refreshingly straightforward purchase and development. The house has been stripped back internally, revealing its true condition and allowing purchasers to assess costs and scope with confidence. The property qualifies for grant aid, and there is clear potential for off-street parking to the front. Subject to planning, rear access may also be explored; however, as it stands, the rear garden is a genuine haven for wildlife and a peaceful sanctuary for relaxation—an increasingly rare asset so close to the city. Based on the existing planning permission, the projected end value comfortably exceeds the purchase price and refurbishment costs. This represents a strong opportunity to upgrade a derelict property and realise a profit, or alternatively to create a distinctive long-term home. The house itself is an “old world” three-bedroom semi-detached property, full of character and clearly cherished over the years. Many original features have been retained. Importantly, should a purchaser wish to reduce the scale of the approved development and retain the original house footprint, this option remains entirely viable, as illustrated in the accompanying floor plans. The location deserves particular emphasis. Situated close to the Old Mart Site, which is shortly to be redeveloped, the property is exceptionally well positioned. It is within walking distance of Kilkenny Rail and Bus Depot, Kilkenny Golf Club, and Kilkenny City Centre, with both primary and secondary schools also close by. Builders and investors take note: opportunities of this clarity and scale rarely come to market in Kilkenny. This is, quite simply, one of the cleanest and most straightforward refurbishment projects of its size to be offered in years. Talk to Fran. Don’t miss this opportunity.
