Carefully extended home

A STONE house dating from the Victorian era and with 5/6 bedrooms in Co Laois might attract commuters to the capital as it’s close to the N7, the main Dublin Limerick Road.

Off a private, tree-lined avenue, the property is spacious and comfortable, says selling agent Anne-Louise Mitchell, and she gives a guide price of €490,000 for Hollymount House.

Carefully restored the house has recently had a good extension added at the back, and it also comes with two grazing paddocks and a number of outbuildings, which could, perhaps, have commercial potential, she says.

With a total footprint of 250 sq m, Hollymount has a sitting room, large kitchen diner in pine with cheery tiles, a dining room, study, utility and bathroom with jacuzzi.

The upper level has four bedrooms, with one ensuite and a main bathroom, and there are two further rooms in the attic space.

The property has been re-slated, has an upgraded heating system and new windows and timber floors throughout. Victor Mitchell and Co Roscrea are the agents.
