Approached by a tree-lined avenue, the two storey over basement period house with rear extension comprises 4,000sqft of living space.

It was built in 1824 and is occupied by the current family since 1956.

Two separate yards located adjacent to the courtyard have an extensive range of limestone stables and a former two storey steward's house.

There is also a farmyard with three hay barns all with concrete bases in addition to a number of general outbuildings.

A pleasant walled garden is found close to the yards and main residence. The wall itself is in very good condition and is a splendid feature of the property. Investment

The property will be sold by Jordan Auctioneers by public auction at 3pm on Thursday June 23 at the Keadeen Hotel, Newbridge.
