Description
Set on a generous site just minutes from the M9 motorway and only 12 minutes from Kilkenny City, this extended old-world cottage offers a unique opportunity to embrace countryside living with excellent accessibility. Situated on the outskirts of Paulstown, the property includes two paddocks and a substantial commercial-style storage unit—making it ideal for hobbyists,classic car collectors or storage hunters. Bursting with character, the cottage retains many of its original features, including beautiful flagstone floors and an original fireplace, offering a genuine sense of heritage and charm. The layout has been thoughtfully adapted over time, with a bathroom now accessible off the kitchen via a hallway, and an extension adding further living space to the original two-room core. Externally, the cottage presents with idyllic, picture-postcard appeal. Accessed via a slip road off the main Carlow Road, parking is both easy and convenient. The grounds, including two paddocks, offer tremendous potential for gardening, horticulture, or lifestyle use. Inside, the home is dry, well-maintained, and full of rustic touches. The kitchen, featuring handmade distressed timber units, has a rustic charm, while the heating system includes radiators powered by a back boiler. The house was occupied until recently and is comfortably livable with only cosmetic updates needed, should you choose. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive home with both immediate charm and long-term potential. Whether you're seeking a character-filled residence, a lifestyle property, or a rural retreat with practical outbuildings, this one is not to be missed. Viewing strictly by appointment.
