Ballybray, Knocktopher, Co. Kilkenny, R95Y528

This property presents a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a traditional farmyard on approximately one acre, featuring a charming period farmhouse, a selection of fine stone outbuildings, and a four-span hay barn. Set amidst mature trees, shrubs, and a small orchard, the property exudes rustic character and immense potential for restoration and redevelopment. Although currently in a derelict condition, the property qualifies for several significant government grant schemes designed to support refurbishment and energy upgrades. These include: The Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, administered by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, offering up to â?¬50,000 for the renovation of a vacant property and up to â?¬70,000 where the property is deemed derelict. Applications can be made through Kilkenny County Council. The SEAI One Stop Shop Grant Scheme, which provides fixed grants for a wide range of home energy upgrades, with funding available up to â?¬33,600. In addition, full planning permission has recently been granted for the creation of a new vehicular entrance, boundary wall and the installation of a new septic tank, further enhancing the development prospects of the site. This is an ideal project for those seeking to restore a traditional Irish farmhouse, with scope to repurpose the attractive stone outbuildings into further accommodation or workspace, subject to relevant permissions. With its peaceful rural setting, authentic character, and potential grants available, this property offers a great opportunity for both private buyers and investors.
