Description

Set amidst circa 0.42 Hectares / 1.03 Acres of secluded, sun-drenched gardens, this graceful detached bungalow offers a rare combination of privacy, space and tranquillity. Surrounded by mature planting and beautifully landscaped grounds, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of peace and seclusion, with generous gardens providing an idyllic setting for outdoor living, entertaining and relaxation. The bungalow itself offers comfortable single-level accommodation, while its expansive grounds provide enormous potential for families, gardening enthusiasts or those simply seeking a private country retreat. “Castlemerle” has been in the same family since it was built in 1976. This wonderful property will appeal to astute buyers looking for their forever home in a highly desirable countryside setting, yet just minute's for Kilkenny City Centre.

Four well-proportioned double bedrooms (master with en-suite), a family bathroom and a hot press completes the layout. The garage adjoins the property and is suitable for conversion for further accommodation (subject to necessary planning permission). OUTSIDE: “Castlemerle” sits peacefully among mature, leafy and sun-drenched grounds, nestled into its surroundings with a quiet, timeless presence. Established trees and conifer hedging frame the property, their broad canopies creating dappled shade across the lawns and garden. Generous planting, natural greenery, and secluded corners give the grounds a sense of privacy and tranquillity, while the single-storey home rests comfortably at their heart. A selection of plants and trees throughout the grounds include Cherry Blossom, Japanese Maples, roses and Plum trees. The sunny west-facing rear garden is fully enclosed by high security green coloured mesh fencing which blends in well with the conifer hedging. The rear garden can be accessed through vehicular double doors along with a pedestrian side gate. The grounds contain a number of block-built outbuildings including three dog kennels and two catteries with outdoor enclosures. LOCATION: Grovine East is a townland and residential location just off the Waterford Road (N10) on the southern outskirts of Kilkenny City.
