A 341ac residential farm in Templepatrick, Moyvore, Co Westmeath, has been launched on the market and is set to go under the hammer next month.

Listed with Murtagh Bros Auctioneers, the holding is laid out in a single block, with more than a kilometre and a half of frontage on to several roads.

Along the roadside at the centre of the parcel is a six-bedroom period-style farmhouse with several reception rooms. While in good structural condition, some modernisation would enhance its appeal as a comfortable family home.

Outside, the traditional cut-stone yard is accessed from both the rear of the house and directly from the road.

Comprising traditional stone outbuildings, agricultural buildings and ancillary structures, it provides a solid, well-positioned footprint with scope to develop a modern, efficient yard tailored to the purchaser’s enterprise.

While in good structural condition, the main residence could benefit from some modernisation.

Surrounding the residence and yard is 341ac of good-quality land, set out in large, open divisions with good access via extensive road frontage and internal farm roads.

Currently in pasture, much of the land was historically used for tillage, growing barley and wheat, demonstrating its fertility and versatility. Its scale and layout would also suit dairying.

A second dwelling sits on the southwestern corner of the parcel. Vacant for several years, it requires full refurbishment and is likely to qualify for the vacant property refurbishment grant.

The combination of land, multiple residences and yard potential is likely to appeal to expanding and multi-generational enterprises locally and nationally.
