Description
One of Kilkenny’s best kept secrets!
Talbots Inch Village is an oasis of calm enjoying a country feel yet only a stones throw from town - a real sylvan setting!
No. 11 Talbots Inch Village is a fabulous extended end of terrace home located in a small development of houses off the Freshford Road! It is located a mere 2km to the west of the city centre & only 0.6km to St. Lukes Hospital & Aut Even Hospital. Loreto Convent girl’s secondary school and St. Canices mixed national school are nearby.
Built c. 1900 Talbots Inch Village was designed by Architect William Alphonsus Scott and commissioned by Lady Dysart as housing for her factory workers. In recent years it has featured in numerous Archeological books.
The property was carefully renovated and extended c. 2006 & it still retains lots of its original features that add to its character and charm; original front door, original windows and leaded glass, original fascia, original brickwork, original wooden ceilings, original fireplace, original roof slates etc.
