A substantial residential farm on the outskirts of Waterford city has been placed on the market for sale by public auction. Listed with Purcell Properties, the 78ac grassland farm at Bishopscourt, Grantstown, is to be auctioned in early April.
An executor sale, the property shares a boundary with the grounds of the reigning All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling title holders Ballygunner.
All in one block, the Bishopscourt Road divides the holding in two and as a result it is available in its entire or in two lots.
Lot 1 contains the residence, and yard on 31.8ac. East of the road, it is entirely in grass and has a paddock system in place.
The farmhouse is a two-storey residence with four bedrooms. A sitting room, kitchen/dining room, and bathroom make up the rest of the accommodation. This roadside house is ready for the new purchaser to move in and it benefits from oil-fired central heating and the windows are a mix of double and single glazing.
A three-span hayshed and assortment of other outbuildings are also included in Lot 1.
The auctioneers are giving a guide price of €1.25m for this lot.
The balance of the land, 46.3ac is included in Lot 2. Directly opposite to Lot 1, it is in one division consisting of six similar-sized fields. It has a guide price of €925,000.
Lot 3 contains the entire 78.1ac. Along with land quality, location is a key factor in this sale with Waterford city centre 4km away.
Therefore, it is also close to established residential developments and all amenities.
The property offers strong development potential, subject to planning permission, for potential buyers.
The auction takes place at 12pm on Friday 10 April in the Woodlands Hotel, Dunmore Road, Co Waterford.
