Another huge Laois home has come on to the market, with a spectacular view of Emo Court as well as eco friendly features and even a sauna.

This four bedroom B-Rated 2,600 sqft house on 0.85acres is in Killenard, facing the Seve Ballesteros championship golf course. On the market for €575,000, with all the details below our gallery of photos.

The property is in Rathleash, Killenard, is on professionally landscaped grounds including flower, fruit and vegetable beds, pond, large garage and a gorgeous summerhouse.

It has four large double bedrooms, three of which have ensuites and two with walk-in wardrobes.

An extra wide entrance hall runs almost the full length of the house. A large sitting room has large picture windows and an inset stove.

Off the hallway is a sun lounge facing the west for relaxing sunset evenings.

The family bathroom is truly impressive, with a feature corner bath, designer tiling and a full luxury sauna.

The heart of the home is a massive and unusual kitchen / dining room. It has a designer solid beech kitchen with contemporary bog oak handles by local artisan cabinet maker Paul Moore. With tons of space, windows in three directions and a beautiful Stanley stove it is an inviting family gathering space. Off the kitchen is a fully appointed utility room once again finished in bespoke Paul Moore cabinetry.

In the hallway are two drop down Stiras which access the massive attics. One attic is a super storage area, with the other prepped for conversion and fully floored, if anyone could possibly need more space.

Boasting an enviable B-Rating, this home is super cosy and future proofed. A large bank of solar panels plunders the immense power from the southerly aspect, and supplies the home with an abundance of free natural energy. Not only does the B Rating ensure lower heating bills, but also qualifies the house for a low interest rate Green Mortgage.
