Woodville house is a unique and charming Georgian property sitting on circa 18 acres near Portlaoise, Co Laois. The residence comes with a gate lodge and 18 acres of parkland and amenity grounds with mature trees. The property is ideally located on the M7, giving direct access to Dublin, which may suit somebody working in the capital.

Residence

The house was originally built in the 1800s and would make the perfect family home. The residence is well set back from the road and is approached via a mature tree-lined avenue.

The residence itself is 436sq metres with a new roof only put on six years ago. However, the house would benefit from some refurbishments. The ground floor is made up of a drawing room, dining room, morning room, kitchen, utility room, laundry, office and bathroom. The first floor is fitted with six bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The outside garden is made up of terraced lawns and raised flowerbeds with mature beech, oak and ash trees dotted throughout. The main entrance also has a charming gate lodge inside the main gate, which is in major need of renovation but adds a sense of prestige to the property.

18 acres

The land is laid out in four well-sheltered paddocks with mature hedgerows and trees. The property as a whole comes with extensive road frontage, with ample possibility for further development of the land if desired. Mains water services the property also.
