PROPERTY WATCH: Portlaoise mansion on market for over €600,000

A modern mansion in Portlaoise town in Laois is up for grabs if you have €625,000 handy, or more if you want to update the decor.

Stretching to 289 m” (3,100ft”), the five bedroom, four bathroom "executive style" house is just off the Dublin Road on an exclusive road, in a generous half acre site.

Located off Kilteale Road next to Heathfields housing estate, Number 3 is one of just four big houses on the exclusive private road. Through the front door is a vestibule with glazed internal doors leading to a large entrance hall from which flows an office, formal drawing room, guest bathroom, and on into the large kitchen/dining/living area with a sunroom.

Connecting from the kitchen is a well-equipped utility room, another guest bathroom, and an additional office/playroom/gym/
bedroom, with a feature bay window overlooking the garden.

Upstairs around a spacious landing are four double bedrooms, two of which are master suites. The primary master bedroom suite has its own corridor connecting a large ensuite and walk-in wardrobe/ dressing room.

Bedrooms 2 and 3 benefit from a "Jack and Jill" shared ensuite and to complete this floor is a luxury main bathroom off the landing and a walk-in hot press.

All halls and rooms were finished to the highest standards of tiling, timber floors, carpets, coving, blinds, and bespoke curtains.

Outside a cobble lock entrance and driveway continues to the sides and rear of the property. The landscaped gardens include mature trees, hedging, shrubbery, and private areas including a small orchard and raised herb beds, offering the comforts of a country property but in the heart of the town, near to the hospital, hotels, leisure centres, shops, national transport links, M7 / M8 motorway, and numerous primary and secondary schools.

“Palermo” style solid front door with beveled glass and Georgian style fanlight glazing overhead, leading to the entrance vestibule with tiled floor and glazed inner hallway door to the entrance hall.
