TALBOT'S INCH VILLAGE:
Talbot's Inch is a model garden village behind its surrounding stone wall on the main Freshford Road approximately 1.5km from Kilkenny City. It was originally in the country but the town has grown out to meet it.
The village was promoted and developed by international philanthropist and local resident the Countess of Desart (Lady Ellen Odette Bischoffsheim) heiress to a wealthy Germanic banking family and one of the wealthiest women in Europe at the time.
Lady Desart commissioned leading architect W.A. Scott to design the village in the English Arts and Crafts garden city style. It consisted of 28 workers houses, a woollen mill, a timber turning factory, tobacco farm, a suspension bridge over the River Nore, cricket green, tennis court and one of the first indoor handball alleys in the country (still in use today).
Cul Na Greine was the first house built in Talbot's Inch for Lady Desart's Stewart, Mr. Hunter.
GARDEN AND GROUNDS:
The mature and secluded grounds extend to circa 0.59 Acre / 0.24 hectares and are a wonderful oasis of peace and tranquillity.
Cul Na Greine is accessed through a cut-stone entrance with tall wooden vehicular gates. A tarmacadamed driveway provides secure off-street parking for up to four cars. The front and side gardens are laid in lawn bordered by mature trees, hedging and flowering plants. A pedestrian entrance with a wrought-iron gate has a pathway leading up to the front door of the property.
The sloped rear garden is laid in lawn and well planted with selection of mature trees and plants. A sun-drenched elevated decked area is perfect for al-fresco dining and entertaining.
A detached garage (measuring 194 Sq. Ft. approx.) adjoins the vehicular entrance gates.
