An exceptional opportunity to acquire a landmark property, originally constructed in the late 1800s, extending to approx. 1,240m² (13,350ft²) and set on a generous 0.5 hectare (1.25 acre) site. This unique offering is located just a few hundred metres from the historic centre of Kilkenny City and the iconic Kilkenny Castle.
This impressive property includes a former school building and an adjoining church, complemented by a charming standalone cottage. The accommodation comprises 16 newly refurbished ensuite bedrooms, kitchen facilities, multiple WC’s, dedicated modern office space set out over two floors, and four external garages. Ample on-site parking is available, with scope for further expansion if required.
Importantly, the property benefits from existing planning permission for short-term accommodation/student accommodation, making it an ideal investment for those targeting Kilkenny’s vibrant tourism and education sectors. Furthermore, the two-storey office space offers excellent potential for conversion to residential use, subject to planning permission.
Bursting with potential, the property lends itself to a wide range of future uses, including:
Boutique hotel with adjoining fine dining restaurantLuxury B&B or guesthouseStriking headquarters or cultural/creative hubPurpose-built student or short-term accommodation
