Wellfield, Portlaoise

Jordan Auctioneers are delighted to offer this fine Period Residence to the market. Wellfield was originally built in 1905 and has been in the Odlum family’s ownership since 1923. With a gross internal floor area of approx. 197.4 sq.m (2,125 sq.ft) the property stands on a total area of 1.22 hectares (3 acres) comprising mature gardens and an enclosed paddock. One of the most remarkable features is the fact that the house is essentially in the town centre with all the benefits of a large garden and paddock comprising the best of both urban and country living.

The house, although in need of modernisation has several reception rooms and a total of 3 bedrooms with additional attic space. Outside there is a limestone Coach House which would be ideal for conversion into a studio, granny flat, workshop or office in addition to 2 stables and a range of other outhouses. 

There is a small garden to the front and large garden to the side and rear which is mainly in lawn in addition to various raised beds, rockeries, pathways and shrubbery. There is also a greenhouse and glass house. 

The property’s location makes accessibility to the city extremely easy with a frequent daily train service (30 daily trains) getting you into Dublin in about 1 hour. There is also the M7 & M8 motorways nearby which get you to a wide range of locations.

The residence and yard to the front are zoned ‘Existing Residential’ with the balance of the holding to the rear zoned ‘Mixed use’ under the Portlaoise Local Area Plan 2018 – 2024.

The property is for sale by Private Treaty and Jordan’s are quoting €395,000 for the entire. Additional information is available from Clive Kavanagh of the selling agents on 045 - 433550.
