Fiddown, Co Kilkenny – €195,000
Number 5 Kylemore Road is a semi-detached family home, part of a development near the village of Fiddown.

Other rooms include an entrance hall, a utility room, a study (or potentially a bedroom) with a WC. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom.
The back garden with its patio area, shrubbery, gazebo, garden shed and side access is a high selling point. As is 5 Kylemore Road’s location – it’s close to the N24, so the home is just 18km from Waterford city and less than 10km from Carrick-on-Suir.
