Two small farms are on the market in Wexford and Wicklow and are due to be sold by auction later this month by Quinn Property.
Wexford land and residence
The Wexford farm is residential. It’s 33ac at Killisk which is 3km from The Ballagh and so about 12km from Enniscorthy and 17km north of Wexford town. This is an area of good farmland, about 10km in from the coast. There are sand deposits in the locality and under part of this farm – usually a sign of free-draining land.
The farm is divided by a public road with 20ac on one side and 13ac with the house and yard on the other side. The property will be offered for sale in the entire and in three lots. Lot 1 will be the house and farmyard on 3.5ac. Lot 2 will be the 9.8ac behind the house and lot 3 will be the 20ac across the road.
The farm at Killisk will be offered in lots at auction.
There are separate entrances from the road to the house and yard, both with a concrete surface. The yard consists of a three-bay shed with a lean-to on each side, measuring 90ft × 45ft. There is a five-bay A-roofed shed with a concrete floor – the roof is high for storing straw. This shed is three years old, the auctioneer says.
In addition, there is a silage pit, a large open concrete area, a cattle crush and a sheep dip tub.
The house
The house is single-storey, has three bedrooms and is 1,300sq ft in size. It was built in the 1980s, has lawn areas at both the back and front and is very well screened by mature trees. It has electric gates at the road.
