Description

Situated on the highly sought-after Waterford Road, Galtrim is a substantial 8-bedroom detached residence set on a generous site of approximately 0.6 of an acre. Formerly operated as a successful bed and breakfast, this impressive property offers exceptional versatility and endless potential—whether as a distinguished family home, a commercial venture, or a redevelopment opportunity for a multi-unit residential project. The site itself is one of the finest residential locations in Kilkenny City, combining space, privacy, and convenience. Within easy walking distance are Kilkenny Castle Gardens, Loughboy Shopping Centre, the local post office, and church, ensuring all essential amenities are close at hand. Families will also appreciate the choice of excellent primary and secondary schools located nearby. Galtrim represents a rare opportunity to acquire a property in a premier location, offering both immediate comfort and exciting potential for future development. Set proudly on a mature one-acre site along the prestigious Waterford Road, Galtrim is an elegant and spacious eight-bedroom detached residence offering exceptional character, privacy, and potential. The property holds a commanding presence on its grounds, surrounded by mature landscaping that provides both seclusion and a wonderful sense of arrival. The entrance to Galtrim, located adjacent to the Cashel Downs development entrance, is marked by a sweeping tarmacadam driveway that curves gracefully around the house, setting a refined tone from the outset. A beautiful glass porch serves as both a welcoming entrance and a sun-filled retreat, perfect for enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Stepping inside, a large lobby area creates an impressive sense of space and flow. Originally used as a bed and breakfast, Galtrim's generous ground-floor layout offers multiple reception rooms, each adaptable to a range of residential or commercial uses. Its structural layout lends itself naturally to reconfiguration, whether as a grand family home, boutique guesthouse, or multi-unit residence. The property underwent significant refurbishment in the mid to late 1990s, including upgrades to electrics, heating, and all internal timberwork. The home's oversized windows flood each room with natural light, enhancing its warm and inviting atmosphere. A highlight of the interior is the winter living room, located to the right of the entrance, featuring an antique open fireplace—a striking centrepiece that embodies the home's charm and timeless character. Off the entrance hall are three generous living areas, including a winter sitting room with an antique open fireplace and two additional living rooms that connect seamlessly to a large kitchen, dining, and family area. The kitchen features solid oak units and an adjoining laundry room, all impeccably maintained and easily modernised. The ground floor offers four bedrooms, including two en suite rooms and a family bathroom. A split-level staircase leads to the first floor, where there are four further bedrooms, one en suite, plus a second bathroom and ample storage. Throughout, the home reflects the care and attention of its long-term owners, with upgrades to electrics, heating, and internal timberwork completed during a mid-to-late 1990s refurbishment. Outside, the grounds provide both privacy and potential, with mature trees and open lawn areas that enhance the property's charm and development appeal. Galtrim is a truly unique opportunity—an elegant, spacious home in a prime Kilkenny City location, just a short walk from Kilkenny Castle Gardens, Loughboy Shopping Centre, and local schools.
