Knocktopher is recognised for its easy commute to Kilkenny City, its quality schools and many amenities. Extending to approximately 1,037 sq. ft., Monarue is a wonderfully practical single-storey home. The accommodation is particularly flexible, providing three bedrooms, two separate living rooms, a kitchen/living area, bathroom and generous hallway accommodation. The layout lends well to family living, first time buyer or downsizing. The property immediately creates a welcoming impression. Its traditional white-painted exterior, tiled roof and sheltered entrance sit beautifully within the surrounding gardens. Internally, the house has been carefully maintained, with a fresh, neutral decorative scheme allowing a new owner to move in and enjoy the property from the outset, or to change over time. A particularly attractive feature is the generous central hallway, which provides excellent circulation throughout the house and incorporates useful built-in storage. Soft green tones, white joinery and traditional internal doors give this area a warm and comfortable feel. The main kitchen/living area forms the everyday heart of the home. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of white floor and wall units complemented by contrasting worktops, integrated cooking appliances and tiled flooring. A large window over the sink brings excellent natural light into the room, while an external door provides convenient access to the gardens. The kitchen opens directly into a comfortable living area, creating a sociable and practical arrangement. This room features a solid-fuel stove, attractive tiled backdrop, contemporary flooring and a large window overlooking the surrounding countryside and gardens. There is ample space for both seating and a dining table, making this a particularly comfortable everyday living space. One of Monarue's greatest strengths is the presence of a second independent living room. Measuring approximately 13'7" x 10'6", this bright room offers considerable flexibility and could function as a formal sitting room, family room, home office, playroom or additional bedroom if required. The sleeping accommodation comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms. The largest measures approximately 13'7" x 14'0", while the remaining bedrooms measure approximately 12'7" x 11'11" and 8'7" x 12'0". Large windows ensure excellent natural light, with attractive outlooks over the gardens and surrounding greenery. The bedrooms offer a combination of carpeted and timber-effect flooring, while wardrobe and storage provision further enhances their practicality. The family bathroom is finished in a contemporary neutral and grey colour palette and incorporates a shower area with electric shower, wash-hand basin and WC. The outside space is a significant part of the appeal of Monarue. The house sits within beautifully maintained and generously proportioned gardens, predominantly laid in lawn and complemented by mature hedging. The property benefits with two sheds which provide extra storage space. A substantial hard-surfaced area adjoining the house provides excellent practical outdoor space, while additional storage is available within the garden sheds/outbuildings. The grounds have clearly received considerable care and attention and greatly enhance the overall presentation of the property. Despite its countryside atmosphere, Monarue remains very accessible. Knocktopher enjoys convenient access to Junction 10 of the M9, providing excellent connectivity towards Kilkenny, Waterford and Dublin. The village and surrounding area provide everyday amenities, while Ballyhale, Thomastown and Kilkenny City broaden the choice of schools, shopping, sporting and recreational facilities. The combination of its manageable single-storey layout, three bedrooms, two reception rooms, extensive gardens and excellent motorway access makes this a property capable of appealing to a particularly broad range of purchasers.
