Description
Charming Stone Cottage Beside Woodstock Gardens, Inistioge, Co. Kilkenny Perched on an elevated site just moments from the renowned Woodstock Gardens, this enchanting stone cottage and accompanying stone outhouse present a rare opportunity to acquire a character-filled property in one of Ireland's most picturesque locations. Tucked away behind a handsome stone wall and accessed through elegant pillared gates, the cottage enjoys a sense of privacy and timeless charm. A sweeping stone driveway leads to the residence, where the traditional hipped roof and roughcast exterior speak to its mid-century character. An original 1950s extension, once used for storage, now its kitchen, adds to the charm and potential of this unique home. To the right of the drive stands a beautifully built stone outhouse, adding both visual appeal and significant versatility ideal for conversion into a studio, guest accommodation, or additional storage. Both the front and rear gardens offer mature greenery and scenic views, with the elevated position enhancing the peaceful atmosphere. The cottage sits just a short walk from the centre of Inistioge village, famous for its tree-lined square, 10-arch stone bridge over the River Nore, and a film setting for many films. With Woodstock Gardens practically at your doorstep and the village within easy reach, this property is a dream for those seeking a rural retreat with heritage and soul — and the scope to make it truly their own. Inside, the layout and décor evoke a simpler time, with three bedrooms positioned at one end of the cottage for ease of use, and an internal bathroom thoughtfully adapted from the original plan. The living room retains its old-world charm, and while the ceilings have been covered in recent years, they may conceal original features that await rediscovery. The home is compact, manageable, and well-suited to a phased transformation. Inhabiting the cottage while restoring it is a realistic and exciting prospect, with government grants likely available to support renovation works. The high-pitched hipped roof appears in good condition and offers the potential for attic development, enhancing the home's versatility. One of the most promising aspects of the cottage is its daylight potential. Opening the home up to the front and rear gardens would dramatically enhance the living experience, creating, blending and changing totally the dynamics of the house. The stone outhouse, located to the right of the drive, is a standout feature solid, secure, and rich with potential. Its original roof remains intact, and the building lends itself beautifully to conversion into a studio, workshop, or guest accommodation. Inistioge village, renowned for its scenic 10-arch bridge and tree-lined square, is within walking distance, offering pubs, cafés, and a warm community atmosphere. With Woodstock Gardens just steps away, the setting could hardly be more idyllic. This is a rare opportunity for visionaries and lovers of heritage properties to shape a home with heart and history.
