Looking for peaceful country living with the convenience of nearby towns? This spacious residential farm now on sale in Co Wexford with Quinn Property offers the perfect blend of rural charm and modern accessibility.
The 107.4ac holding is in the townland of Ballycarrigeen, just outside Ferns. The small town has a good range of services including shops, a primary school, restaurants, pubs, churches and sports clubs. There is also easy access to Enniscorthy (13km) and Gorey (17km) while the M11 motorway is nearby.
The motorway itself runs very close to the farm – through it in fact. On the eastern side there’s 83.7ac plus the house and farmyard while the balance of 23.7ac is on the western side.
An underpass links the two parts of the farm. This is a crucial piece of infrastructure for the holding, and is large enough to allow big tractors and farm machines to pass through. This was originally a dairy farm while in recent years it was run in drystock. Most of the holding is in pasture. A portion of approximately 25ac is in tillage. The majority of the land is free draining with some heavier soil at the rear, close to the motorway.
The house dates back approximatley 150 years.
Frontage on both roads
The farm sits on a local road that links Gorey and Enniscorthy. The farmhouse and yard are together, about 300m up a shared cul-de-sac that comes off this local road, and there’s frontage on both roads.
Sitting beside the road, the farmhouse is two-storey and traditional in style. It dates back approximately 150 years.
The living room.
An extension was added in more recent times. The house is in nice condition but a new owner may choose to modernise and upgrade it further. It has an entrance hall, sitting room with open fireplace, living room, kitchen/dining room, utility room and toilet. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom.
There are large trees around the house, giving privacy with a simple garden area to the front.
The farmyard surrounds the house and the main sheds include a four-bay, A-framed shed, a stable, and a four-bay round-roofed shed with lean-to on each side.
The dining area.
There is also a seven-bay round-roofed shed incorporating the former milking parlour and dairy as well as two stables, loose housing and a number of smaller sheds.
