Description

Glenmoylan, Castle Gardens is a gracious double-fronted detached family home on one of Kilkenny's premier roads. Castle Gardens was once the walled garden of Kilkenny Castle, and is located just off Castle Road on the edge of Kilkenny City Centre. Glenmoylan, built circa 1950, has wonderful views of the Castle from several rooms and the front garden. While in need of some upgrading, this fine house represents an excellent opportunity for the new owners to design and redevelop this house into a unique modern home in a highly sought-after location. It could also offer families the chance to create a better work-life balance involving remote/hybrid working, with children been able to walk to school and activities. Internally, the accommodation extends to 153 Sq. m. / 1,647 Sq. Ft. approx. (not including the garage) and is laid out over two levels.

GARDEN AND GROUNDS: Glenmoylan stands proudly on circa 0.25 Acre / 0.1 Hectare of mature and sun drenched gardens, offering a wonderful oasis of peace and tranquillity. The property is well set back from the road and is accessed through vehicular entrance gates. A sweeping tarmacadam driveway is flanked by manicured lawns with mature hedging and herbaceous planting. There is parking to the front and side of the property for several cars. The south facing and private rear garden is laid in lawn bordered by mature plants, wall creepers and trees, bounded at the rear by the high stone wall of the original garden of the castle. A glasshouse sits on a concrete base to the rear of the property. A single car garage adjoins the house and is accessed from the front through double vehicular Teak doors and a pedestrian door to the rear. The garage has power and plug sockets and also houses the gas boiler for the heating system in the house.
