THE beautiful period Cloneyhurke House in Portarlington, Co Offaly, is on the market with top class stud farm facilities and has been the breeding ground to successful horses through the years.

Standing on just over 56 acres in the midlands of the country, the home is located on a lovely private plot of land with excellent grazing lands and stunning views of the rolling countryside. Although the town of Portarlington has always revolved around the agricultural sector, in recent years there has been a shift towards a commuting town as its locality to Dublin city, couple with the road and railway networks allow for easy access to those working in Dublin.
