Hume Auctioneers- We Get The Pick Of The Crop Once in a generation an opportunity arises to acquire a signature property in town. Stretching to over 3000 Sq.

Glenlahan is a prestigious enclave of just a handful of majestic residences and this wonderful home is a jewel in the crown. Located within walking distance of Portlaoise town centre and all its excellent conveniences, yet in a setting which could be a million miles away, this picture-perfect family residence is without peer. The Stradbally Road is regarded by many as the most exclusive part of town and Glenlahan epitomises its qualities. Drive along the tree lined avenue and you will see some of the finest homes in all of County Laois. Then, peer through the mature trees and blossoms, and this delightful residence, although almost hidden at the end of a long tree lined and gated avenue, will command your attention. Approached through bespoke wrought iron gates, via a beautiful driveway flanked by specimen trees and abundant shrubbery this stunning home writes the book on kerb appeal. An imposing two story residence with fine structural features including double height window, hand cut bricks and bespoke joinery. Step into the formal reception hall and those external qualities continue. A bespoke mahogany staircase and corniced ceilings immediately impress. The ground floor celebrates a magnificent layout combining large formal spaces with intimate rooms. The drawing room is truly massive. With large picture windows, a stunning antique chimneypiece with inset stove and double doors leading to the conservatory, this room is perfect for entertaining on the grand scale. Step into one of the finest conservatories to be found anywhere on the market today, pause, and take it all in. From here you can appreciate the true qualities of this once in a lifetime family home. Here is the perfect place to raise your children in safety and luxurious comfort. The conservatory enjoys great seating and dining areas all the time taking in the stunning views over the massive, private and beautiful garden. The conservatory in turn leads back to the superb kitchen dining room. This room is magnificently appointed with extensive cabinetry and oodles of countertop space. A true cook’s haven. Off the kitchen is a large utility room, fully plumbed and offering great storage space. The back hall leads to a private WC and a magnificent garage area.
