For auction on Wednesday 23 September is Anneville, a 14ac residential farm in Clonard, Co Meath, that has character, good livestock facilities and strong commercial and cultural appeal.

Dating to 1920, the spacious red-brick house is in very good condition and has four bedrooms and two reception rooms. Period features include high ceilings, decorative cornicing, large windows and ornate joinery. French doors open from the rear reception room onto the enclosed, sheltered garden.

The red-brick 1920s residence adjoins an arch leading to the courtyard.

Adjacent to the house is the original courtyard of cut-stone buildings, accessed from the road through a stone arch. The outbuildings and stables, with timber doors and traditional detailing, offer potential for equestrian, hobby or storage use, with scope for residential conversion subject to the necessary consents.

The house is in good condition throughout. Here, the cornicing, large windows and high ceilings can be seen.

The traditional cut-stone courtyard offers potential for hobby use, or residential conversion, subject to planning.

Beyond this is a substantial 1970s-built farmyard with steel portal-framed sheds and generous hardstanding for machinery storage, livestock handling or general agricultural use. The house and yards occupy 2ac, with a good-sized paddock to the rear.

Leading from this area is a 0.5ac plot containing Saint Finian’s, a decommissioned Church of Ireland building dating from the early 1800s, on the site of an abbey. In need of refurbishment, it offers potential for amenity, cultural or residential use, pending planning.

Laid out in a single field, the remaining 11.5ac comprises good-quality grazing ground under permanent pasture, with independent road access, good frontage and a permanent water supply from the adjoining Clonard River.
