Description
A beautiful detached Georgian residence dating from circa 1830, set amidst mature grounds of about 0.5 acres in an elevated and highly sought-after position in Inistioge.
Savills are delighted to present to the market Bridge View, a beautiful detached Georgian residence dating from circa 1830, set amidst mature grounds of approximately 0.5 acres in an elevated and highly sought-after position in Inistioge, one of Kilkenny's most picturesque villages in the Nore Valley.
Discreetly positioned above the road and enjoying views towards the River Nore, the property is accessed via a charming pedestrian gate to the front door as well as a private avenue bordered by stone walls and a most attractive collection of stone outbuildings. There is ample off-street parking.
Extending to approximately 320 sq. m / 3,444 sq. ft. over three floors, Bridge View offers well-proportioned accommodation presented in very good decorative order, having been sympathetically upgraded by the current owners while retaining its period character.
The welcoming entrance hall leads to the left into a beautifully proportioned drawing room, complete with an original fireplace, which in turn opens into a bright conservatory overlooking the gardens - an ideal space for entertaining and enjoying the surrounding setting. To the right is a formal dining room, also with an original fireplace. Both principal reception rooms benefit from large bow windows, an addition dating from the 1930s, which enhance the natural light and outlook of the rooms.
To the rear lies a charming country kitchen fitted with a range of timber wall and floor units, with ample space for informal dining and views over the garden. Beyond this is a comfortable family room with a solid fuel stove and direct garden access. Additional ground floor accommodation includes a shower room and utility room, which opens onto a private rear courtyard with laneway access.
On the first floor are four bedrooms, three of which are generous doubles, along with a family bathroom. Many of the rooms at this level have original fireplaces and enjoy views towards the River Nore. The second floor provides two further bedrooms, including one en-suite, together with a useful home office, again with lovely views.
Bridge View was formerly part of the historic Tighe Estate and has also served as the village doctor's residence, offering a rich sense of heritage throughout. Despite its central village location, the property enjoys a notable sense of seclusion and tranquillity.
The gardens are laid out predominantly in lawn, interspersed with mature planting and complemented by a generous south-facing paved patio area. The stone outbuildings are a notable feature, presenting considerable potential for conversion into additional accommodation (subject to the necessary consents) or alternatively providing excellent storage.
