DESCRIPTION:
The property comprises a most attractive two-storey period farmhouse set within a traditional courtyard of cut-stone outbuildings and farm sheds, all positioned on a generous holding of approximately 1.53 acres / 0.62 hectares. The arrangement of the buildings creates a sheltered and private setting, full of old-world charm and character, rarely found in today’s market.

The farmhouse itself, while unoccupied for a number of years, retains the proportions and features of a classic rural dwelling and now offers a superb opportunity for comprehensive refurbishment. It provides a true blank canvas for a purchaser to restore and reimagine the home to modern standards while preserving its inherent character. Crucially, the property is likely to qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant together with SEAI energy upgrade grants, offering substantial financial support and making the overall project significantly more accessible.

The setting is a key feature, with exceptional, uninterrupted views to the rear over rolling countryside, creating a peaceful and scenic backdrop that greatly enhances the living environment.

The surrounding courtyard of traditional stone outbuildings adds significantly to the appeal, offering both visual charm and practical potential. These structures are ideally suited for conversion into additional accommodation, guest quarters, a home office, studio or workshop, subject to the necessary planning permission. The layout lends itself particularly well to the creation of a unique residential scheme centred around the courtyard.

Overall, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a property of genuine character and scale, with the benefit of land, privacy and outstanding potential to create a distinctive family home in a beautiful rural setting.
