Donal Boyd Auctioneers in Birr has an interesting 30ac residential holding in north Tipperary on the market with a guide price of €450,000.

For sale by private treaty, the property at Lisnagower, Ballingarry consists of prime agricultural land. All in one block, it is presently in grass and divided into three fields.

In need of total refurbishment, the cottage with two bedrooms hasn’t been lived in for a number of years and is likely to be eligible for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant.

To the rear of the cottage, there are a pair of outbuildings which form a private courtyard. One of them appears to have a second story.

These could be used as storage or alternatively, the footprint of them could be useful if seeking planning permission to extend the dwelling.

Situated at the foothills of Knockshegowna, the property is at the end of a small local road but is served by an excellent wider road network.

It is about 10 minutes’ drive from both Birr and Borrisokane while Nenagh is 23km away.

It could suit someone looking for a renovation project that comes with land. Equally this property could suit a neighbouring farm wishing to expand their holding and renovate the house for their own use or as a long-term let.
