A 60ac farm of good land with a large modern residence has come on the market in north Tipperary. The holding is at Lisbryan, Ballingarry north. It’s on offer from Donal Boyd Auctioneers, in lots, by private treaty.

To get to the farm head out the L1074 from Ballingarry in the direction of Aglish. The location is 7km from Borrisokane, 15km from Birr and 23km from Nenagh. The auctioneers point out that it’s also only 11km from Terryglass, on Lough Derg and the many amenities available there.

The kitchen is bright and spacious.

The land for sale is laid out in six fields on both sides of this local road and has over 200m of road frontage. It is currently in grass but has been also used for tillage. There’s plenty of good land in this part of north Tipperary. The auctioneers say that the block of ground around the house and yard – approximately 30ac – is the best of Tipperary farmland, suited for any enterprise.

The holding has a basic farmyard, with a hardcore surface, near the house. This has one A-roofed shed in good condition which is currently used as a machinery shed and store. Nearer the house is another older shed – a former dairy – which is in good condition and suited for storage.

Residence

The house is expected to attract a lot of interest, including from farming families with a successor looking to set up a home.

The house is spacious at 2,500sq ft and – further – it has an independent single-storey cottage attached.

The main house was built in 2000 and is two storey. There are four bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs. The house has oil-fired central heating, concrete floors and walls and double-glazed sash windows.

The sitting room at Lisbryan.

Downstairs, the sitting room is 13.5ft × 19.5ft with a solid fuel stove in a cast iron surround. The kitchen/dining room is large at 16.5ft × 34.5ft. It has fitted units and integrated appliances. It has a bay window overlooking the front garden and sliding glass doors to the back garden.

The other major room downstairs is suited to be used as a living/TV room or as a fifth bedroom. It’s generously sized at 13.8ft × 14.5ft. The four bedrooms upstairs are spacious with the master bedroom measuring 15.5ft × 17.5ft.

The attached cottage has its own entrance door. It has three bedrooms – a store room and a kitchen with a range. It needs renovation and modernisation. The auctioneers say that it could be used as an office area or separate apartment.

The land at Lisbryan is currently in grass.

The house is set back from the road and surrounded by a low granite wall with high, mature hedging. The gardens are mostly in lawns with a large patio area. The house is screened off by mature shrubs and hedging.
