The Sweep is a charming detached cottage that offers a rare blend of local heritage and significant future potential. Originally constructed for the prestigious Bessborough Estate, this residence has been carefully maintained over the years, retaining much of its original timberwork and authentic character. Set on a generous site of approximately 0.3 acres, the property feels deeply rooted in the Kilkenny landscape while remaining exceptionally well-connected. The interior layout is centered around warmth and comfort. The primary living room features a classic Stanley solid fuel stove with a back boiler, which complements the oil-fired central heating system to ensure a cozy atmosphere throughout the seasons. The ground floor comprises a sitting room, a master bedroom, a bright kitchen with garden access, and a modern shower room. Adding to the home's unique personality, the original character ladder stairs lead to two versatile attic rooms, perfect for a home office or creative space. Externally, the property truly distinguishes itself. The grounds include a well-fenced paddock, a garage, and a traditional two-span hayshed, offering ample utility for hobbyists or those requiring extra storage. Whether you are seeking an enchanting starter home or a site with the breadth to extend and modernise (subject to planning permission), The Sweep presents a wonderful opportunity to create a bespoke country retreat just 23km from Waterford City.
