A time and place for wow factor

ALTHOUGH it’s property’s latest cliché, you just have to use ‘wow factor’ for a sweet farmhouse in Kilmacow, Co Kilkenny.

Tory Grange, at Kilmacow on the main Waterford/Kilkenny road, is currently under offer at €172,000, well within a second home budget, as properties like this are climbing all the time.

For sale through O’Shea O’Toole and Partners, they say it’s in need of refurbishment, but it has good space.

Apart from two reception rooms and a kitchen, it comes with three bedrooms.

The bathroom comes with cast iron bath and bedroom one comes with a cast iron fireplace.

Outside, there’s a nice garden with mature trees and a lofted outhouse, which could have conversion potential and would be an ideal place to put weekend guests.

The site runs to one-fifth of an acre.
