After undergoing extensive renovations, and in the heart of hurling country, this Co. Kilkenny cottage is in perfect condition.
With Kilkenny being known as hurling country, Gowran has produced some of the county's final hurlers, thanks to Young Irelands -- including Pat O'Neill and Charlie Carter. It is also home to a parkland racecourse, home of the Thyestes Chase, a key National Hunt race.
Five kilometres south is the village of Dungarvan, where this two-bathroom cottage with an attic room is on the market seeking €155,000.
Having been extensively refurbished, it is in turn-key condition.
Address: Snowdrop Cottage, Dungarvan, Co Kilkenny, R95AF59

The 47-square-metre end-of-terrace cottage, inclusive of attic room, has retained its original layout, but has been cntemporarised, creating an inviting and intimate ambience throughout.
The ground floor of the home has a bright, open-plan kitchen cum living room with recessed lighting. It blends style and function with a selection of sleek, modern cabinetry and a breakfast bar.
Upstairs is a large attic room, which estate agent Ciarán Dunphy says is well-lit thanks to its Velux window.
The loft-style space also has an en-suite bathroom.
There is an outside space at the back.
This has a slab base and features a canopy-covered patio that is supported by steel beams.
Fully enclosed, there is scope to green up this area and soften it up using planters and raised beds.
The property is just a five-minute drive from Gowran village, while Kilkenny City is about a 20-minute journey.
Agent DNG Ella Dunphy is seeking €155,000 for the C2 BER-rated cottage.
