A Unique Multi-Generational, Family & Investment Opportunity in Bagenalstown, Co. Carlow A rare opportunity to acquire two individual detached residences, being sold together as one property, set within mature private gardens and grounds in Bagenalstown, Co. Carlow. Location Enjoying a peaceful countryside setting in the highly regarded area of Dunleckney, this property offers the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and everyday convenience. Situated just 1 mile from Bagenalstown, one can avail of an excellent range of essential services and amenities including supermarkets, shops, cafés, restaurants, schools, sporting facilities, medical services and excellent public transport links including Muine Bheag Train Station which is located on the Dublin ? Waterford line. Carlow Town is located approximately 15km from the property and provides an even wider selection of retail, educational and recreational facilities, including primary and secondary schools, third level education and shopping centres. The property is also ideally positioned for commuters, with Kilkenny City reachable in approximately 25 minutes, offering a vibrant mix of cultural attractions, shopping, dining and professional services. Dublin is easily accessible via the nearby M9 Motorway, (with the M50 approximately one hour away), or by rail in under one hour and 20 minutes, making this an attractive location for those seeking country living without compromising on connectivity. Description Originally forming part of the greater Dunleckney Estate, this distinctive property offers an exceptional combination of character, space and flexibility. The two residences are positioned independently, with the second house enjoying its own entrance from the main road while sharing a driveway with the principal residence. The arrangement lends itself particularly well to multi-generational living, providing an ideal solution for a family member who wishes to live close by while retaining their own independence. Equally, the second residence could provide an attractive rental or supplementary income opportunity, subject of course to the necessary planning and rental requirements. THE PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE The main residence is a substantial three-bedroom detached house with the added benefit of converted attic accommodation, offering considerable versatility for modern family living, home working or additional recreational space. A welcoming entrance hallway, finished with attractive herringbone timber flooring, sets the tone for the quality evident throughout the residence. The elegant sitting room features a striking black Kilkenny limestone fireplace with stove, while the open-plan dining area and kitchen create a superb family and entertaining space. The bespoke solid ash kitchen is fitted with polished black granite worktops, a five-ring gas hob, integrated appliances and excellent storage. The bedroom accommodation is particularly impressive, with three spacious bedrooms including a generous principal bedroom complete with en-suite bathroom. A large family bathroom and additional storage facilities further enhance the practicality of the home. A bespoke solid ash staircase leads to the converted attic level, providing two substantial attic rooms, a shower room and extensive storage space. Its generous proportions and established character make this an appealing family home with excellent potential for those seeking a property that offers more than the ordinary. THE SECOND RESIDENCE The second property is a particularly interesting split-level three-bedroom detached residence, accessed independently from the main road and sharing the driveway with the principal house. The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to provide modern, well proportioned living space while retaining a number of attractive period features. On entering, the entrance hallway leads to the accommodation, including Bedroom 1, an office space and an impressive open-plan kitchen/living/dining area. The office is enhanced by a corner glass feature, allowing views into the open-plan living space and creating a bright and contemporary connection between the rooms. Two further bedrooms are complemented by a large family bathroom, featuring a beautiful cast-iron bath. The split-level design continues to the basement, where there is an exceptionally versatile large room suitable for a variety of uses, together with a utility room, a shower room finished with attractive tiling, and useful under-stairs storage. Throughout the property, beautiful sash windows and a selection of charming period style features add character and individuality, while the overall accommodation is well suited to contemporary living. OUTSIDE The properties are surrounded by mature gardens, established trees and generous grounds, creating a private and tranquil setting while remaining conveniently located in Bagenalstown.
