A move upstream into the exclusive Weir estate

EXECUTIVE home in an exclusive area - and number 45, The Weir, on Kilkenny’s Castlecomer road, lives up to the description.

Number 45 is a well-fitted and well-presented property in a lovely, leafy area outside of Kilkenny.

The house and estate are ideal for family life, says Peter McCreery, of Sherry FitzGerald McCreery estate agents.

Mr McCreery says the asking price is €450,000 for a house whose appearance belies its size: it has 2,800 square feet of space on an averaged-sized site off the Castlecomer Road.

Part of a niche development of similar houses, number 45 has had one owner since it was built, who has added top-of-the-range Pat Lennon units in the kitchen/diner and wooden floors and fireplaces in the two, main reception rooms.

All five bedrooms are located on the first floor, which neatly divides the private from the public areas of the house.

Two of the bedrooms are en-suite. There is also a main bathroom, and a guest toilet.

Superbly finished, Peter McCreery says number 45, the Weir, also has a cobble-lock driveway, side access on both sides, and a paved patio at the back, with a large lawn laid out on two levels.
