For sale through Clement Herron Real Estate, this unique countryside residence is set on approximately 3.9 acres in the tranquil townland of Cullenagh, Portlaoise, Co. Laois.

A tree-lined gravel avenue, bordered with graceful birch trees, creates a captivating first impression and leads to this impressive detached four-bedroom home.

Constructed in 2010 and extending to approximately c.2,900 sq.ft., the layout of this residence was personally designed with both practicality and style in mind. The bedrooms are notably generous, with the primary suite providing a haven of comfort, boasting its own walk-in wardrobe and a bright en-suite with a large walk-in shower.

The grounds are enriched with mature fruit bearing trees and plants, from strawberries and grape vines to apple trees.

"This property offers a lifestyle immersed in nature, with all the best that lovely Laois has to offer right on your doorstep. The property enjoys beautifully appointed and well-proportioned accommodation across both levels," real estate agents revealed.

At ground floor, the light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space forms the heart of the home and is enhanced by a striking stone open fireplace.

A utility room with tiled benchtops and a walk-in pantry offer superb storage and convenience, while two bedrooms, including the primary suite with en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, together with a guest w.c., complete the ground-floor accommodation.

A half-turn staircase rises from the welcoming entrance hall to a generous gallery-style landing, illuminated by two Velux windows, leading to two further double bedrooms, a main family bathroom, and a home office ideal for hybrid working or study.

In addition, there are two excellent walk-in closets providing versatile and easily accessible storage solutions. This home is further enhanced by a range of modern features, including underfloor heating at ground floor level, a central vacuum system, solar hot water, a heat recovery system, oil-fired central heating, and a private well with septic tank.

Externally, the property continues to impress with superb equestrian and hobby facilities, including a traditional round-roof barn-style workshop or art studio with a storage room. The stables are designed to be collapsible and convertible, allowing the shed to be repurposed as open space when required.

"The mature orchard and fruit-bearing plants complement the landscaped gardens that provide privacy and uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside," Clemont Herron Real Estate said.

"This part of Cullenagh lies in the southern hinterland of County Laois, renowned for the gentle ridges of the Cullenagh Hills and its unspoiled rural charm."

The property enjoys excellent proximity to local towns and amenities, with Timahoe just 4 km away, Ballyroan 6 km, Portlaoise 9 km, and Abbeyleix 11 km. Dublin is approximately one hour away via the M7 motorway, which also provides swift connections to Limerick and Cork.

"This remarkable property represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial and meticulously designed family home, offering the very best of peaceful countryside living in a picturesque setting, yet within easy reach of Portlaoise, Abbeyleix, Timahoe, and surrounding towns," they finished.
