'Locnamon House', Sion Road, Co. Kilkenny

We are favoured with instructions to offer this prestigious executive home to the market. The house was originally constructed in the 1980’s but it has been extensive updated and refitted in recent years. The house nestles in to the countryside to maximise the river views and aspect while ensuring privacy and seclusion for the occupier.
The property is entered from the public road via a set of wrought iron gates from a sweeping entrance leading to the forecourt and house. There is ample parking for multiple cars.

The house is a two storey home with balcony which is entered in to a spacious entrance hall and staircase. Off this hall there are two large reception rooms with fireplace and ornate plaster work. The hall includes an office, cloak room and w.c. leading to an open plan family room and Kitchen / dining area. This room provides a comfortable homely feel to the house while benefitting from an open fireplace. The view through the siding patio doors from the dining space to the river is exceptional.
Off the kitchen, there is a sun room which also benefits from the view and offers a quiet retreat. The utility room and adjoining gym equipped with sauna completes the ground floor.

The first floor benefits from large landing with door to the balcony. There are 2 ensuite bedrooms and bathroom providing generous accommodation in this desirable family home.

The gardens and grounds around the house have matured over the years while being carefully tended by the current owners. Extensive beech hedging and established shrubbery compliment the lime stone walls and patio space. Overall, “Locnamon House” provides the homeowner with a quality and sense of tranquillity on it’s river side setting.

Situated at a bend in the river Nore on a south facing site, “Locnamon House” proves that when it comes to choosing a home, it is all about “location”. This spacious family home overlooks the Nore river valley from an elevated site just 2 miles from Kilkenny city centre. The quiet sylvian setting provides the perfect backdrop for this attractive retreat.

Located on the eastern edge of the Marble City, the townland of Lavistown contains a small community of prestigious houses. The house enjoys a semi rural setting with the benefits of the city close by. This accessible location is further enhanced by the M.9 motorway junction close by in Kilkenny City which provides access to Dublin, Waterford, sea and air ports. The opening of this motorway makes Kilkenny accessible to the entire South East.
