Detached house for sale in 97 Castlegate, Portarlington, Laois County, Leinster, Ireland

We are delighted to present No. 97 Castlegate, Portarlington to the market. A beautiful 2,000 sq foot 5/7 bedroom detached house with garage on a large corner site located in the most sought after estate in Portarlington town. Houses of this size and finish rarely come to the market.

Located at the front of the estate the house is nestled under mature trees and has been lovingly maintained and improved by the current owners who have made several additions to enhance the comfort and privacy of the property.

The house is spacious and is the ideal size, layout and location for a family. It comprises 5 bedrooms (1 en-suite), study, playroom, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, utility and garage (attached). The study and playroom could be used as additional bedrooms, living rooms or working from home facilities. The garage has potential for conversion into additional living space with ample room, and a foundation in place, to accommodate a garage to the side of the property.

Located within short walking distance of all amenities including schools, supermarkets, gp surgeries, pharmacies, Primary Care Centre, gaa grounds, library, tennis courts, gyms, swimming pool, shops and the train station. This house ticks all the boxes for a family seeking the best of both worlds – close proximity to all amenities, easy commuting distance to Dublin by train and the privacy of a detached spacious property with ample space internally and externally.

Accommodation comprises:

Ground floor – entrance hall, office/study, sitting room, kitchen, dining room, utility room, guest WC, playroom and garage. The ground floor layout has been modified by the current owners who removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room resulting in a large open plan space which is further enhanced by the double doors leading to the sitting room and the double French doors leading to the decking/patio and garden.

First floor – five bedrooms with master en-suite, main family bathroom and access to attic via folding stairs.

Exterior – tarmacadam driveway and paths, ample parking for 2/3 cars on drive & additional parking spaces in the cul-de-sac, large rear garden laid currently out in two parts which could be easily reconfigured into one large garden:
1. Landscaped with railway sleeper border hosting mature trees (cherry blossoms, apple, pear and plum trees), herbs and plants. Decking with a custom built canopy to allow use all year round (accessed via French doors from dining room/kitchen);
2. Previously used for growing vegetables and could be used for this purpose or has potential to be repurposed as a play area for children (the playroom is off the utility room which offers easy access to this garden), a wildflower garden or a garden for pets.

Viewing of this property is highly recommended.
