Description

James Murphy Kinsale Property is delighted to present this charming old-world cottage, over 300 years old, filled with character and charm. It boasts a large private south-facing rear garden and a spacious south-facing patio. There is significant potential to extend the property to the rear while still preserving the garden's south-facing aspect. The cottage is bright and airy, exceptionally well-lit, featuring large, thick old stone walls complemented by a solid fuel stove. This property is ideal as a holiday home, investment, or starter home. Ample on-street parking is available within a short walking distance of Kinsale town center, just a 5-minute walk away. The cottage is equipped with Fibre Broadband Wi-Fi, mains water, mains sewer, and mains electricity. Upon entering, you are welcomed by an entrance porch that leads into a living/dining room, which includes a charming stove and timber flooring. The kitchen flows seamlessly from the living area and is filled with light, thanks to patio doors that open onto the expansive south-facing garden. The bedroom also features timber flooring and has the added benefit of a patio door that opens to an elevated patio area at the rear. Additionally, there is a ground-floor bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiling and a corner shower. A spiral staircase in the living area leads upstairs to two additional bedrooms, which could serve various purposes, such as an office, storage space, or a large gym/playroom, if not used as bedrooms. Located on Barrack Street, this property is particularly appealing for those looking to downsize as well as first-time buyers. It offers a home within walking distance of all services and amenities, complete with a manageable garden. One significant advantage of this property is that it is not overlooked from behind. This bright and sunny home also features a large, mature south and west-facing rear garden with established trees.
