Description
**OPEN VIEWING ON SATURDAY 23RD NOVEMBER FROM 12NOON TO 12.30PM**
San José Cottage is a classically refurbished and elegant Victorian residence (circa 1886), surrounded by glorious grounds of circa 0.2 Hectares / 0.49 Acre.
This is a wonderful, welcoming and stylish home, perfect for comfortable family living and entertaining.
San José Cottage is in a picturesque setting adjacent to St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Ballyfoyle, County Kilkenny. A ten-minute drive (N77) will take you into Kilkenny City.
The current owners have refurbished and transformed both inside and outside with great flair and design, offering 178 Sq. M. / 1,916 Sq. Ft. approx. of immensely stylish accommodation.
The wonderful interior does not disappoint in terms of layout, space, light and design. Rooms of elegant proportions rich in period detail, including original fireplace, high ceilings and sash windows with decorative architraves and working shutters which epitomise the elegance of a bygone age, not to mention the abundance of natural light flooding through each room.
The layout at ground floor level comprises: entrance hall, living room, bedroom one, inner hall, bathroom, bedroom two, kitchen/breakfast room, bedroom three/dining room (with en-suite) and a sunroom. The layout at first floor level comprises: landing area, attic room and a storage room.
GARDENS:
San José Cottage sits peacefully on mature and secluded sun-drenched gardens extending to circa 0.2 Hectares / 0.49 Acre. The property is accessed from the road through a vehicular entrance with original cut stone piers with a cut stone wall running along the boundary line with the road. The front garden is laid mainly in gravel bordered by a small lawn area on the left-hand-side adjacent to the boundary wall with the church grounds. A neat hedge on the right-hand side separates the front and side gardens. An original decorative wrought-iron side gate leads through from the front of the property to the side garden. The front garden is well stocked with plants and trees including Hollie and Climbing Roses. A Monkey Puzzle tree in the adjoining church grounds hangs over the front garden at the entrance to San José Cottage.
The large and private sun-drenched side garden is a haven of tranquillity, perfect for a secure children’s play area. A neat lawn is bordered by hedging and mature trees including Elderflower, Sycamore, four apple trees and one Plum tree. An Adman steel garden shed sitting on a concrete base, along with a woodshed are discreetly tucked away behind mature trees. A flagstone patio area is perfect for al-fresco dining and entertaining. A private flagstone courtyard area to the rear houses the boiler house and the oil tank. A pedestrian gate gives access out to the church grounds.
LOCATION:
San José Cottage is conveniently located in the small village of Ballyfoyle, just a ten-minute drive (N77) into Kilkenny City via Glendine Road and Castlecomer Road.
Kilkenny City is an effortless blend of old and new. Kilkenny Castle, the medieval streets and riverside setting fuse beautifully with contemporary art galleries and famous Kilkenny Design Centre. The city has a great selection of superb restaurants, coffee shops, pubs, hotels, boutique shops, two shopping centres, cinemas, the Watergate Theatre, and the Butler Gallery for contemporary art.
There is a good selection of both primary and secondary schools nearby. Kilkenny has a vibrant sporting and cultural life with numerous festivals throughout the year.
San José Cottage is convenient to Kilkenny Train Station at MacDonagh Junction which is on the Waterford to Dublin line with regular trains to and from Dublin and Waterford. The property is a ten-minute drive to the Dublin Road Roundabout which is junction 6 off the Kilkenny Ring Road. The travelling distance to Dublin City Centre by car is one hour and forty-five minutes approximately.
Viewing of this wonderful property is highly recommended.
