The Laois home features siding sash windows, spacious rooms, new internal doors & rear windows, limestone steps, window cills and front door surround, and decorative cornice plaster work throughout. All 9ft high ceilings at ground floor level. Accommodation comprises an entrance hallway, a formal sitting room, a relaxed living room, a bright kitchen with French doors to the rear patio, a utility room with wet room style bathroom.

At first floor level there are four double bedrooms, an en suite shower room and a family bathroom. The house is well set back from the road and surrounded by its own lands. The 8.2 acres of pasturelands attached to the house have great road frontage with their own separate gated road entrance and are all surrounded by post and railed fencing.

Selling agents Sherry Fitzgerald Fogarty said: "The lands are of the highest grazing quality, are set out in paddocks with piped water to troughs. A two span shed with lean to further enhances their appeal, and is ideally positioned to the back of the house. The view from the back of the house is stunning with countryside as far as the eye can see."
