A spacious kitchen, bathroom, utility room, and store can also be found on the ground floor with four bedrooms and an additional bathroom on the first floor.

The house is accessed via a 170m long, tree-lined avenue.

It also benefits from an oil-fired central heating system. This house offers a potential purchaser the opportunity to put their own stamp on what has the potential to be a very a stylish and comfortable home.

Guided at €1.35m, the property at Ballydonnell, Mullinahone, Co Tipperary will be offered for sale in its entire or in lots. Lot 1 is the entire, while Lot 2 consists of 41.5ac with the residence and yard. The land here is laid out in four fields with some further divided by electric fences. The balance of the land, 37ac is listed as Lot 3 and is also laid out in four large fields.

Lot 2 contains the house and 41.5ac of land.

All in grass, the land is in one block and has ample road frontage. Close to the residence there is a large concrete yard. Dated, it contains a hay shed with lean-to and a selection of old stone outbuildings that could form the basis of a future yard.

Situated 5 minutes’ drive north of Mullinahone this farm fronts onto the R690 road that goes between there and Ballingarry which is less than 6km away. Heading east, Callan, Co Kilkenny is only 12km away. There’s a very active and wide-ranging farming hinterland within that area and there’s been no shortage of interest in this farm since it came on the market. It will be interesting to see how that translates into active bids on when the auction gets underway.

The Club House Hotel, in Kilkenny City is the venue for the auction which takes place at 3pm on Friday 5 September.
