Someone looking for a nice parcel of land with a house and yard on the outskirts of Baltinglass, should invest some time to view a 32.6-acre residential holding at Clough, Baltinglass, Co Wicklow.

Located on the main N81 (Dublin/Tullow) road, this is a lovely compact unit that incorporates a three-bedroom bungalow residence, a central farm roadway and an extensive range of farm buildings that can accommodate up to 360 cattle.

Used over the years to graze livestock, the property is accessed off the main N81, with the house and yard set back from the road and surrounded by 32 acres of grassland. At a guide price of €450,000, it doesn’t sound over the top.

Reported to be maintained to a high standard, the bungalow residence comprises a sitting room, kitchen, three double bedrooms and bathroom. Directly behind the house are three outhouses that are plumbed for a washing machine, sink and shower with an open garage for car parking.

The farmyard is quite extensive. As such, selling agent Ganly Walters, Dublin, suggests that it might offer other business possibilities, subject to the appropriate consent. Buildings include a 12-bay concrete lean-to with dividing gates, sheep shed with six-bay lean-to, slatted slurry tank which is pumped into a Perma Store, machinery shed and walled silage pits. There are also at least seven other loose-bedded concrete sheds giving accommodation for up to 360 cattle.

Set out in one block, the land is laid out in about eight level fields that are accessed from an internal farm roadway. The land is well fenced and is sheltered by mature natural boundaries. Water to the property is supplied from a private well.

For sale by auction on 10 June in the sales room of Ganly Walters, Dublin, the property will be offered in one or two lots that include the house and yard on 14.9 acres (guided at €280,000) and the remaining 17.7 acres (guided at €170,000).
