ANYONE BUILDING A from scratch may be familiar with decision fatigue. Having to pick and choose every aspect of a build can take its toll. As time goes on, your decisions can get less considered in a bid to just get things moving.

That’s why a one-off house that cuts out the structural decisions can have great appeal.

Anyone looking for a home in the countryside should put this large home, outside the Laois town of Clonaslee, on their must-view list.

The kitchen and dining room is sure to be the hub of the home as it’s large and full of light. The addition of a utility room is sure to keep chores tidy and streamlined too. One of the bedrooms completes the ground floor.

The home will be A-rated ensuring that it’ll be cosy and bills manageable. 

As well as a bathroom upstairs with three of the bedrooms, the ground floor is also plumbed for a shower room. Overall, the house has a floor area of  185 m².

For even more storage space and renovation potential, there is also a detached garage on site. 

No doubt, this home would suit a growing family, seeing as lack of space isn’t an issue. And, if hybrid or remote work is set to continue, the next owner of this countryside home could certainly make the most of it. The Offaly town of Tullamore is a fifteen minute drive away and Portlaoise is thirty, and they both have train stations. By car, Dublin is about an hour and a half away.

This house is a blank canvas for anyone who wants to jump straight to, arguably, the most fun part – interior decorating.

The starting price for Sracullen, Clonaslee, Co Laois is €400,000 and it’s on sale through Kate O’Shea Auctioneers.
