The €725,000 sought for a three bedroom semi in Ballsbridge in Dublin - we checked - can instead get you a sprawling country modern mansion over four times the size in Laois.
A vast but still warm 370 m² three storey family home has come on the market in Corrig Portarlington. It has five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a garage/gamesroom so big a vintage tractor takes pride of place inside it. Details and video below photos.
 
Auctioneer Matt Dunne describes the Corrig house as an "exceptional detached 5 bed three-storey residence with double garage in mature landscaped grounds.
"Sought-after, tranquil location, a short drive to schools, shops all the towns amenities. Accommodation consists of hall, downstairs wc, kitchen/dining, office, dining room, living room, 5 bedrooms, main bedroom en suite, family bathroom."
The home also has a separate apartment on the ground floor.
It has a BER rating of C2, with a wrap around balcony/terrace with dining area, decking area with gazebo,mature landscaped grounds and ample car parking.
