This delightful detached home is on the market for €259,000 in Co Laois

Drive up the short paved pathway to 49 Shandra Woods and the first thing you notice is the brightly painted front door and gate – one sunny yellow, the other fuchsia pink. Both warm and welcoming, they’re a good indication of what’s to come and inside, the same theme continues throughout.

The light-filled entrance hallway leads to the kitchen/dining room. The kitchen has ample storage with cabinets and drawers lining the walls along with a handy breakfast bar to one side. Meanwhile, the dining area has a large table ideal for family dinners or entertaining guests. 

A utility room is conveniently located off the kitchen, with a washing machine, dryer and downstairs bathroom. 

The dining area opens into the sitting room where a cosy fireplace brings warmth on winter evenings. Another entertainment room can be found across the hall, with a comfortable L-shaped couch and a compact desk for games. Previously a converted garage, this room could also be used as a fourth bedroom. 

All three bedrooms can be found upstairs. The master bedroom has been fitted with floor to ceiling wardrobes and has a fully tiled ensuite. The family bathroom is also fully tiled with a bath and showerhead attachment. 

Outside, a small manicured garden lies to the front of the house, while a large paved patio can be found to the rear along with a garden shed and a wooden bench – the perfect perch from which to enjoy your morning coffee. The private backyard is fully enclosed, making it completely secure for little ones to play in.  

Situated just a short way away from Portarlington town centre, the property is within walking distance of most amenities including a secondary school, a catholic church, a hairdresser and a variety of shops and takeaways.
