The farmyard is very functional and is ready to use if required.

The farmyard is functional and ready to go.

It consists of a three-bay (45ft) roofed facility in very good order and also comprises of a hay shed (22ft wide), lean-to (18ft wide) and a slatted shed made up of 18ft- and 16ft-wide pens and a 15ft feed passage.

There are plenty of gates in place to allow good control of stock, and there are a few concrete aprons present for silage storage.

There are numerous smaller houses suitable for storage across from the main shed.

The land quality is typical of the area, with some excellent quality and other parts in need of work.

An interesting feature located away from the main yard buildings is a 75ft x 18ft covered feeding passage on a concrete base. This runs alongside the field and there is also a long cattle crush and a number of old stone buildings with corrugated roofing.

Lot 2 is a larger block consisting of 64ac.

This contains about 30ac of good-quality land with the balance a bit more challenging, but could be reclaimed or would present a good forestry option.
