Description

As the name suggests, Church Cottage nestles at the foot of St. Joseph's Church, Ballyfoyle, a well known landmark in Kilkenny. Approached by a large driveway, the cottage is well set back from the main road.

On arrival at the property it is immediately evident that this is a home that has been remarkably well looked after and upgraded to a very high specification. The property exudes a wonderful sense of relaxed charm while enjoying a distinct sense of place

A simple double fronted façade with porch belies a substantial property extending to over c.150m. The house has evolved over the years, to the front a pair of good sized reception rooms with elegant high ceilings with and sash windows overlook the gardens. A superb master bedroom and bathroom are also incorporated within this part of the house.

Within the earlier part of the house to the rear a wonderful country kitchen is utterly charming with a range of hand painted units and a period style Stanley stove. Access to the garden is gained through elegant French doors. A staircase from this area leads to a good size double bedroom with walk in wardrobe.

A recently constructed Garden Room enjoys lovely natural light and off this area is shower room thereby offering flexibility in terms of use.
