Description
Spruce Hill is a wonderful country retreat on circa 2 Acres / 0.81 Hectares of secluded gardens and adjoining paddock. The property is superbly located in a picturesque and peaceful setting in the townland of Knockadeen which is in the parish of Castlewarren. The owners purchased the holding and then demolished the original derelict farmhouse and replaced it with the current property which they had built in 2008. This is a rare and unique opportunity to acquire a picture perfect and superior family home providing the ideal retreat to return to from the hustle and bustle of city living. There are stunning uninterrupted countryside views from Spruce Hill and one can see the lights of Kilkenny City at night-time. The property extends to 231 Sq. M. / 2,486 Sq. Ft. approx. and is laid out over two levels. The layout at ground level comprises: entrance hall, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, dining room, two large inner halls, sitting room, library/office, four double bedrooms (three with en-suites) and a family bathroom. The layout at first floor level comprises: landing area, home office/den and a store room. GARDENS AND PADDOCK:Spruce Hill is surrounded by circa 2 Acres / 0.81 Hectares of garden, paddock and a yard with some of the original outbuildings. The property is accessed from the road by the original private laneway which is bounded by mature hedging and trees on both sides. The mature gardens are laid in lawn bordered by mature trees and herbaceous planting. A stone built wall adjoins the walls of some of the original outbuildings creating a large courtyard area which is laid in gravel. A cobblelock driveway connect with the end of the laneway providing extensive parking for several cars. Two patio areas to the front of the property are perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining. The adjoining paddock to the right of the laneway can ben access through a vehicular farm gate from the road. The paddock can also be accessed from the garden. LOCATION: Spruce Hill is located a five minute drove up from the Clara to Paulstown Road (R712) taking the left hand turn directly after Paddy's Country Pub for Castlewarren (L2619). A 10 minute drive will take you to the M9 motorway at exit 7 allowing easy access to Kilkenny, Waterford, Carlow, Kildare and Dublin. A 15 minute drive will also take you into Kilkenny City (R712).
