A gorgeous four bedroom Portlaoise home has come on the market packed with nice surprises, not least its stunning private gardens.
1 Grattan Court is a whole surprise in itself, a spacious family home completely hidden from the busy town, but just off Market Square. It is on the market for €275,000. Full details below this gallery of photos.
Hume Auctioneers describe it as "perhaps the most idyllic home in all of Portlaoise, this jaw-droppingly beautiful property has all the charm of a pretty postcard French Gite right in the heart of Portlaoise".
Situated at the end of a short lane off Market Square, it is entered through a classic wooden gate into a leafy shaded driveway.
A character filled entrance hall leads to a reception room with oak beams, a solid wood floor, a picture window overlooking a suntrap patio.
French doors lead to the wonderful garden bringing the amazing outside in. Off the reception room is a beautiful kitchen with a southerly aspect for all day warmth leading to a the suntrap patio.
Off the kitchen is a rear hall with ample storage that leads to a WC which is also plumbed for appliances.
To the front of the house is a large attractive work space.
On the first floor there are four spacious bedrooms. The master bedroom has a huge walk-in wardrobe/ dressing room whilst each bedroom is pleasantly lit and furnished. A family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.
Then it is onto the magical gardens. Naturally laid out in a varied selection of courtyards, lawns, a secret garden, sheds, pergolas and outside rooms , the result is sensational. Mature trees and ornamental features create a sense of great space and a garden that will reward forever.
"Homes like this take a lifetime to create and it could take a whole lifetime before another comes to the market," Humes say.
The semi-detached house measures 138 m² (1485ft²) and has a D2 BER rating, with an alarm, parking, wheelchair access and oil fired central heating.
