Sherry Fitzgerald Hyland Keating are delighted to bring to the market Larkin's Cross, Ridge Road, Portlaoise, Co.Laois.
Elegant Countryside Residence with Mature Gardens, Sweeping Driveway & Spacious Interiors. Tucked away behind private gates and set on mature landscaped grounds, this exceptional dormer-style residence combines timeless charm with generous proportions and a truly tranquil setting. From the moment you arrive at Kyletalesha, Portlaoise, Co.Laois the property impresses with its inviting entrance, winding driveway, and beautifully maintained lawns framed by established trees and hedging, creating both privacy and a wonderful sense of arrival. The home itself is full of character and warmth. The striking red front door, sheltered by a glazed porch, leads into a welcoming hallway with tiled flooring and a feature staircase, setting the tone for the spacious accommodation throughout. Living Spaces To the front, a cosy yet elegant sitting room with built-in cabinetry and a decorative fireplace offers the perfect space to unwind, while a larger living/reception room showcases a dramatic brick fireplace with inset stove, wood-panelled ceiling, and feature bay window overlooking the gardens — an ideal room for entertaining or relaxing with family. Kitchen & Dining The heart of the home lies in the bright country-style kitchen and dining area, where cream cabinetry, tiled floors, and ample counter space blend functionality with charm. Large sliding doors flood the space with natural light and open directly to the garden, seamlessly connecting indoors and outdoors. A separate utility room provides excellent storage and practical workspace. Bedrooms & Bathrooms Generous bedroom accommodation is spread across both floors. On the ground level, well-proportioned rooms offer flexibility for family living or guest accommodation. Upstairs, the dormer design creates characterful spaces with sloping ceilings, timber finishes, and Velux windows enhancing natural light. Bathrooms are stylishly finished, with a mix of modern tiling and traditional touches, including a feature roll-top bath. Loft & Additional Spaces The upper-level loft-style space is another highlight, currently presented as a sitting area with wood-panelled ceiling and brick chimney breast — perfect as a home office, reading nook, or teenagers’ retreat. Throughout, thoughtful storage solutions, fitted wardrobes, and well-planned layouts ensure practicality matches the property’s charm. Gardens & Grounds The exterior is every bit as impressive as the interior. Mature lawns wrap around the property, dotted with ornamental planting, specimen trees, and hedging for year-round privacy. A feature fountain forms a central focal point, while a pretty garden shed, detached garage, and further outbuildings provide excellent storage and hobby space. The extensive driveway offers ample parking for several cars, making this a home ready to welcome family and friends. Lifestyle & Location More than just a house, this is a home that delivers lifestyle. Whether it’s enjoying summer evenings on the patio, hosting gatherings in the spacious reception rooms, or simply savouring the peace and greenery of your own private grounds, Larkin's Cross offers a rare opportunity to embrace refined country living.

Portlaoise stands at a major crossroads (Dublin, Limerick, Cork) although construction in the 1990s of the M7 motorway, which bypasses the town, has reduced traffic congestion in the town centre. The town has a railway station served by intercity trains between Dublin and Cork and by Dublin commuter services. Córas Iompair Éireann opened a rail depot south-west of Portlaoise town centre in 2008. The depot provides a high quality maintenance and servicing facility for the 183 new intercity railcars and some facilities for outer suburban railcars serving the Kildare Route.
