Description

Viewmount is a distinguished and generously proportioned detached residence ideally situated on Chapel Street, right in the centre of Johnstown village, Co. Kilkenny. This impressive property offers flexibility in site size, allowing a purchaser to tailor the extent of the grounds to their preference, 1 or 2.25 aces Built in the mid-1980s, Viewmount stands as a testament to quality construction and careful upkeep. Set on a fully landscaped site, the property enjoys a sweeping tarmacadamed driveway that curves elegantly to the front and around the house, offering ample parking and ease of access. The home's exterior exudes timeless appeal, featuring classic wet-dash plasterwork complemented by quoin stones, a welcoming porch entrance, and a substantial hipped roof that frames the structure beautifully. The overall composition delivers a refined presence and a strong sense of permanence. Internally, the property's original layout has been thoughtfully reconfigured and enhanced over the years. The former attached garage has been seamlessly integrated into the main house, providing additional living space that suits modern family needs while maintaining excellent flow and proportion throughout. Location is key—Viewmount offers the ideal balance of village living and connectivity. Kilkenny City and Portlaoise are within easy reach, while the nearby M8 motorway at Urlingford provides rapid access to Dublin, Cork, and other major centres. Local towns, including Durrow, Rathdowney, and Thurles, are all within a short drive, making this property a convenient base for commuting or business. Stepping inside Viewmount, the sense of scale and space is immediately apparent. The large entrance hall sets a welcoming tone, with a handcrafted double split-level staircase forming a striking centrepiece and providing easy access to the first floor. To the left, a substantial living room spans the full length of the house — a beautifully proportioned space with dual-aspect windows that fill the room with natural light. Elegant ceiling cornicing adds character, while an open fireplace provides a classic focal point. Though traditional in décor, this room offers excellent potential for modernisation while retaining its generous layout and charm. To the right of the hallway lies another expansive room, combining kitchen, dining, and living functions in a warm, open-plan layout. Fitted kitchen units, a breakfast counter, and an oil-burning range — which also heats the home and water — make this a highly practical and comfortable family hub. Large dual-aspect windows frame views of both the front and rear gardens, ensuring a constant connection to the landscaped surroundings. A separate utility room and guest W.C. are conveniently located off the kitchen, with direct access to the rear garden for ease of use. Formerly part of the integrated garage, two additional rooms — currently serving as a study/office and playroom — extend the versatility of the home. Both are bright, well-proportioned spaces with large windows that flood the interiors with daylight, ideal for home working, recreation, or conversion to other uses as desired. The first floor continues the sense of light and proportion, with a bright and spacious landing area at its centre. There are four bedrooms and a family bathroom, providing a well-balanced layout for family living. Two of the bedrooms are generous doubles, each featuring fitted storage and private en suite bathrooms that have been carefully maintained and remain in excellent condition. The remaining two bedrooms are single rooms, well-finished and thoughtfully designed to make the best use of space. The family bathroom, positioned centrally for convenience, completes the floor's practical and comfortable layout. An accessible attic space off the landing provides valuable additional storage. The grounds at Viewmount are a particular highlight. The property can be offered with between 0.5 and 2 acres, depending on the purchaser's preference, providing exceptional flexibility for gardens, play areas, or potential further development (subject to planning). Beautifully landscaped and mature, the gardens offer complete privacy and a wonderful sense of seclusion. Established hedgerows, lawns, and planting beds enhance the natural setting, creating a peaceful and private retreat just steps from the heart of the village. Meticulously maintained and clearly cherished, Viewmount represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial detached home in a thriving village community, this is a home that offers both comfort and potential in equal measure.
