LOCATED IN PORTLAOISE, Co Laois, just a few properties remain at the new Holdbrook development.
The development consists of 20 properties, with only homes in ‘The Shelbourne’ style remaining.
These three-storey houses measure 1,727 sq ft and feature four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a garage. Prices start at €335,000.
All properties at Holdbrook boast an impressive range of features including walk-in wardrobes, designer kitchens, spacious living areas and large rear gardens. They’re also highly energy efficient and benefit from air-to-water heat pumps.
Making for an easy move, all flooring and tiling is included, while all houses are fully painted throughout.
Holdbrook enjoys a prime location off the Dublin Road, with the M7 just a two-minute drive away. Portlaoise town can be reached in a quick five-minute drive, making it easy to get to schools, shops, restaurants or whatever you may need. Midland Regional Hospital Portlaoise is a 15-minute walk away.
If you’re looking to commute to the capital, the drive to the city centre should take about an hour and a half.

Poor woman.rip
Dangerous stretch of road. God love her.
Beautiful place that can be dangerous which appears to be the case here. RIP to that poor woman.
Tragic.r.i.p. young lady
Poor lady, I know that road very well and it’s improved massively over the years with it being widened in places however certain parts are tricky. I’ve cycled over it twice and you need your wits about you on the descent.
Have driven over there many a time, absolutely beautiful spot, but very dangerous when the low clouds hang over… RIP
RIP this can be a dangerous road in the wet. It’s a long tough climb that will sap the energy out of you. It’s a fast descent I’m guessing the poor woman was unable to take a bend.
Why the red thumbs?
Some people are just sick how could anyone red thumb
Why in a tragic story like this are people like you obsessed with whether their comment is red or green thumb. Massively inappropriate
I am trying to figure out what I said that’s so wrong that I got red thumbed for it. I’m so sorry for that woman’s family, to think that she set out this morning to travel that beautiful road but heartbreakingly lost her life on it.
I see nothing wrong with what you said, maybe some people thought it was sexist. I refer you to what clint eastwood said recently.
And before someone else gets says it ,condolences to that women’s family and friends.
Proinsias , because maybe it came across like you were blaming her for what happened … by the way , I agree with your comment .that is likely what happened to the poor girl .
People say they don’t know why people red thumb, however the reason is obvious.
People are stupid, the majority anyway, statistical fact.
Secondly herd behaviour and political correctness gone mad, consensus thinking and knee jerk reactions.
They interpret your comment to be a criticism of someone who died tragically, and defend on you with condemnation to appease their own egos, mistakingly thinking that they are correct in doing so.
Why? ………QED they are dumb
I was thinking the same that it was probably a sharp bend and not because she was a woman.I would have thought the same if the victim was a man. RIP
That is just awful news.poor lady.
Dreadful, but people especially tourists should be warned of the hazards of Irish weather in mountainous areas and respect weather warnings.
The red thumbs are not against the comment. Its to acknowledge the bad news. Some people use them for different reasons.
All it would take on that road is a sheep to cross over. There are plenty on the descent towards Dingle.
RIP
I have always felt that red thumbs In tragic cases are people’s way of saying “I don’t like what has happened “
have your say
