The four-bedroom, one-bathroom main house extends to approximately 182 square metres, with an additional 138 square metres of ancillary space, including a substantial double garage, ideal for vintage car collectors, and two floors of storage.
The property is accessed through electric gates and along a sweeping driveway lined with mature pine trees.
The stone exterior, established planting and courtyard setting give the house plenty of character before you even step inside.
Inside, the house blends traditional features with contemporary touches. Exposed timber beams run through much of the accommodation, adding warmth and connecting the different rooms.
The kitchen is at the heart of the house and is accessed through a distinctive stable-style barn door.
It has a large central island, a Quooker hot-and-cold tap, and a good range of Neff appliances.
Timber details and natural finishes give it a warm, practical feel, with plenty of room for everyday family life.
The main living room is particularly comfortable, with a vaulted ceiling and a distinctive red-brick stove as its focal point.
French doors open onto the courtyard, making it easy to move between the house and outside space and giving the room a natural connection to the garden.
It leads through to the dining room. Dual-aspect windows bring in plenty of daylight, while the generous proportions leave ample room for a large dining table, making this a practical space for family meals and entertaining.
There are three double bedrooms on the ground floor. All are ensuite. Generously proportioned, the principal is upstairs and leads through to a room dedicated to sybarism.
The key piece of furniture here is a free-standing tub.
A separate outbuilding is currently set up as a private bar, complete with a wood-burning stove. It provides useful additional space away from the main house, whether for entertaining, relaxing, or simply having friends over for party nights and celebrations.
The double garage, 49 square metres, and adjoining storage accommodation are also notable.
Together, they provide about 138 square metres of additional space offering plenty of scope for storage, workshop space or other uses, subject to any necessary planning requirements.
The house has oil-fired central heating and uPVC double-glazed windows. Spot and pendant lighting are used throughout the main house, with strip lighting in the garage and storage areas.
The house is just 1.7 kilometres from the village of Mullinavat in south Kilkenny, situated between Waterford and Kilkenny. It has a strong local community and a useful range of everyday amenities, including shops, pubs, restaurants, a national school, community facilities and sporting clubs. Beyond the village, there is plenty of open countryside, while the road network makes it straightforward to travel further afield.
One real advantage of Pinewood House is its accessibility despite its private setting. Junction 11 of the M9 is about four minutes away by car, giving easy access to Waterford, Kilkenny, Carlow, and Dublin.
Waterford City is approximately 15 km away and is around a 20-minute drive, while Kilkenny City is approximately 34–35 km away and generally takes around 30–35 minutes by car.
The M9 also provides a straightforward route north towards Dublin.
Pinewood House offers something a little different from the standard family home. It has the character of a traditional stone property, with generous living accommodation, four bedrooms plus a versatile dressing room, and substantial additional space outside the main house.
The combination of privacy, established surroundings, character, useful outbuildings and easy access to the M9 makes it a practical home as well as an individual one.
There is plenty of room here for family life, work, storage and entertaining, all within a peaceful setting close to Mullinavat, and agents Sherry Fitzgerald John Rohan are seeking €600,000 for this B3 BER-rated country residence.
