Originally constructed in the 1950s, the property has been exceptionally well maintained throughout its lifetime and is presented in immaculate condition, ready for immediate occupation.
Steeped in history and character, the property retains many of its original features including the attractive front entrance gate, traditional metal railings, original internal doors and impressive 9ft high timber ceilings. These features combine to create a warm and welcoming home with a unique sense of charm rarely found in modern properties.
Accommodation comprises an entrance hallway, sitting room, kitchen/dining room, bathroom and one spacious bedroom. The fitted kitchen is the heart of the home and features a traditional oil-fired Rayburn cooker, a standout feature that provides fast, efficient and controllable heating throughout the property while adding to its authentic country character.

A significant feature of this property is the potential for future expansion. Full Planning Permission was granted in 2016 (Planning Reference No. 15505) for a substantial two-storey extension measuring approximately 123 sq.m. While this permission has now expired, it clearly demonstrates the development potential of the site. The approved plans included a new entrance hall and an open-plan kitchen/dining/living area at ground floor level, together with two additional bedrooms, an ensuite and a family bathroom on the first floor. A balcony off the principal bedroom was also proposed, designed to take full advantage of the spectacular countryside views.
Ideally located close to Ballintubbert Village, the property enjoys easy access to a range of local amenities including primary school facilities, scenic lakes, woodland walks and recreational trails that make this area particularly attractive for outdoor enthusiasts. The location offers the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and accessibility, with Ballylynan, Athy and Carlow all within easy commuting distance, providing excellent shopping, educational, sporting and transport facilities.
With its character, excellent condition, development potential and superb location, this unique property is sure to appeal to a wide range of purchasers seeking a peaceful country residence with room to grow.
