Set to go under the hammer next week with Quinn Property is a 106ac farm with residential potential in Banogue, Gorey, Co Wexford.

Originally built in the early 1900s, the derelict period brick-built house requires complete restoration.

Set on an elevated site with views of Tara Hill, Croghan Mountain and the Wexford and Wicklow coastline, it offers the perfect blend of rural living, while being situated less than two kilometres from Gorey town.

Guided at €15,000/ac to €17,000/ac, the farm is set for auction on Tuesday 11 August at 2pm at the Ashdown Park Hotel in Gorey, with bidding also available online via the LSL app.

With only five farms in excess of 100ac coming up for sale in the county last year, auctioneer David Quinn is expecting a lively contest.

Enquiries have been strong to date from both full-time and part-time farmers, with several interested parties expressing interest in bringing the old house back to its former glory.
