Roseybower a gardener’s dream

A MENTION in the O’Brien Guide to Irish gardens is sure to attract the discerning buyer and ‘Roseybower’ more than lives up to its name.

This is a gardener’s garden, with three ponds, a glass house with thriving, fruitful vine and the work of 12 years labour in abundance.

With a site of just under an acre, the grounds are filled with beds and borders including a rose bower, from which the property gets its name. This has a private gazebo with seating and is a focal point of the grounds. The house, meanwhile, shows the same meticulous attention to detail, (it’s a well accepted fact that good gardeners are good housekeepers), and is nicely positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac at Granges Road in Kilkenny.

The house is a short drive from the city and has plenty of amenities close to hand. It has plenty of room for a family and has three reception room, including an interconnecting drawing room and dining room, as well as a family room. All four bedrooms are well fitted and include two ensuite bathrooms. Roseybower is on the market at €330,000 through Sherry FitzGerald McCreery.
