Nestled into the countryside is this unique country-style residence on a 42-acre (17 hectare)farm. The entrance of the property sets the scene for what is to come, with the stone wall approach and electric gates guarding a long tarmac driveway.

The driveway itself is bounded by stud railing to each side, with mature trees adding great character to the drive. And character is what this property has in buckets. As you move further up the driveway, you pass over the bridge under which the Kings River flows.

As you move further up, peeping out from over the hedge, you can see the distant outline of the house; a large country-style house built in 1979.

The house itself is quite sprawling and spans three levels. It has been refurbished in recent years and has five bedrooms, four of which are on the first and second floors; all of which are double rooms.

The ground floor hosts a guest bedroom. The downstairs area of the house is large and striking. The entrance hall has a reception room off it, while it also opens on to a drawing room to the left and a dining room to the right.

Also on the right of the entrance hall you will find a family room and a large kitchen/breakfast room with a lovely modern feel. To the left of the entrance hall stands a drawing room, study, living room play room and guest bedroom.

Stables and yard

To the left-hand side of the house you will find a block of six horse stables and a garage behind them for storage.

The yard can be accessed at the fork in the main driveway, which separates the yard from the house itself. In terms of the opportunities, this property brings with it, there is a large hardcore area behind the stables which could be converted quite easily into a sand arena for anyone with a flair for equines.

Land

The land is currently used for cropping, with corn grown on the majority of the farm. There are some grass paddocks behind the house suitable for horses, with ample opportunity to increase the number of paddocks across the farm. The land quality itself is very good and is well sheltered around the perimeter fences, leaving it ideal for any use.

The property comes with a guide price of €1.1m and has already attracted good interest from potential buyers. Whoever is lucky enough to get their hands on this property will have complete privacy with the 42 acres surrounding the property. The sale is being handled by joint agents Sherry FitzGerald Country Homes and Sherry FitzGerald McCreery in Kilkenny.
