About this property
Description
On the outskirts of Kilkenny City, in the picturesque townland of Dundaryark, Danesfort, lies 'Dovecote Cottage' — a deceptively large and beautifully maintained 4-bedroom semi-detached residence. Conveniently positioned beside Danesfort GAA Club and just 0.5km from Junction 9 of the M9 Dublin–Waterford motorway, this property offers the perfect blend of country charm and city accessibility. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear the home has been lovingly cared for by its current owners. A pillared entrance with tarmac driveway and beautifully appointed grounds sets the prequel. Stepping inside, a bright entrance hall with white tiled floors lead to the ground floor living room with impressive beamed-effect ceilings, a striking feature stone fireplace with solid fuel stove, and a pleasant dual aspect overlooking the gardens. The kitchen/dining area is bright, spacious, and tastefully appointed with blue wall and floor cabinetry, granite worktops, and integrated appliances. Double French doors open onto a sun-drenched west-facing patio and manicured gardens — perfect for entertaining or relaxing on long summer evenings. A plumbed utility room with fitted worktops and wall presses sits adjacent to the kitchen, while a guest WC completes the ground floor. An ornate, bespoke timber staircase with handrails leads to a bright, airy landing on the first floor, where you’ll find four bedrooms — three doubles and one single, all with solid timber flooring. The main bathroom and ensuite shower room are fully tiled and finished to a high standard. Outside, the grounds are meticulously maintained with manicured lawns, mature hedging, and select planting. Clever landscaping creates distinct areas including patios, vegetable plots, and a dog run, offering both privacy, beauty and practicality. This truly is a turnkey home in a superb location, ideal for families or those seeking more space without compromising on convenience. Viewing is highly recommended.
