A block of land extending to 150 acres along with a four-bed dwelling has recently come to the market in the northwest.
The property is located around three miles from the Waterside area of Derry city and its sale is being managed by Derry and Donegal-based local auctioneers Alexander Gourley Ltd.
The farmland is laid out in a single parcel, however land runs on both sides of the Ardmore and Ardkill roads. Offers are being invited for the property as a whole or in lots, with an overall guide price listed at £1.2m (€1.35m).
Land is good quality at the bottom of the farm near the River Faughan.
Land is generally of good quality and fields at the bottom of the farm that run alongside or near the River Faughan contain alluvial-type soils. Land to one side of the block is particularly dry and has a high proportion of sand in the soil.
As expected with a farm of this size, land type changes and a few of the fields further from the river are at a higher elevation and have heavier soils. The farm has been split and rented out by the current owner to several different tenants in recent years. Significant work is needed in some areas of the farm with controlling weeds, addressing soil nutrient levels and reseeding.
The farm is mostly used for grazing by the current tenants and is well fenced, with drinkers present in each field. There is a small farmyard on the property with traditional outbuildings and some more modern sheds. There is also a round roof shed located behind the dwelling house in the middle of the farm.
There is a bare area of hardcore yard beside this shed which could be developed for farm buildings given its central location on the farm.
A significant number of fields in the farm have road frontage onto the Ardmore and Ardkill roads and there could be potential to develop a gravel pit in the driest area of the farm.
The dwelling house is a four-bedroom bungalow with two reception rooms.
The property was once part of a larger estate and the house is located on an elevated position with several mature deciduous trees. There are several spots on the property where new houses could be developed. The existing house is a four-bed bungalow with two reception rooms. The property could benefit from modernisation and there is an additional one-bed annexe at the rear of the building.
