"The Stone Lodge is a beautiful semi-detached residence with a picture postcard stone façade complimented by exquisite variegated barge boards and a most interesting slate roof. The front of the house maintains the Victorian ambiance with a pretty entrance porch leading to a quaint living and dining room which is served by a beautiful kitchen with handmade cabinets and slate tiled floor.

"Upstairs in the original house are the first two of four spacious bedrooms. The vendors extended the house to a whopping 1500 Sq. Ft and the modern extension features two more bedrooms, a large family bathroom and a superb sitting room which enjoys picturesque views through the double patio doors over the surrounding dramatic landscape. A utility room completes the accommodation.

"Outside, the gardens are mature and extensive, ideal for a growing family. There is also a large storage shed and excellent parking. There is a wide choice of primary schools in the area including Stradbally and Timahoe, both less than 10 minutes away, whilst secondary schools in Carlow and Portlaoise are approximately 20 minutes drive."
