A house that won the prestigious title of B&B of the year over 30 years ago is but one attraction that makes up a farm that has come to the market in Co Laois. For sale by private treaty with Johnstown-based Rory Doyle Auctioneers, the 127ac residential farm in the noted farming district of Stradbally represents one of the biggest farms to come on the market in the area in recent times.
Its pricetag of €2.5m tells you the quality of land that is on offer here. Primarily used for tillage, there are a few portions of grass on the farm but most of the land is currently in stubble. All the land is in one block with the house and yard near the roadside.
Laid out in about a dozen separate divisions with mature trees and hedgerows on the boundaries, most of the fields are over 10ac in size. A farm roadway from the yard gives excellent access throughout the holding.
Sheltered by trees, the house and yard although close to the road, are relatively centrally placed on the overall holding.
Requiring renovation, the house has four bedrooms.
Surrounded by generous gardens, the house is a two-storey structure that operated as a well-known B&B throughout the 1980s and 1990s. While a long way since the days when it won the B&B of the Year title, with modernisation it has the potential to be restored to its former glory.
On the ground floor, there is a kitchen, living room, and sitting room along with two hallways. In addition to these, there is a bathroom and bedroom. A further three bedrooms and a bathroom can be found upstairs.
Allowing separation of home and work life, there are different entrances to the dwelling and yard. These are located about 150m apart.
A short distance away and to the rear of the house, the farmyard contains a number of old stone-built structures that form a courtyard. Slightly to the rear of these there is a round-roofed hayshed with a lean-to.
The old-style farmyard with traditional buildings could lend itself to being renovated with the possibility of using it as accommodation or they could also remain in use for storage.
A little over 2km from Stradbally and the renowned Electric Picnic site, this property is less than 500m from the N80 road that links Stradbally with Portlaoise.
All in one block, the 127ac residential farm near Stradbally, Co Laois has drawn strong attention since it came on the market.
Auctioneer, Rory Doyle said: “This farm has attracted a lot of early interest and would be well known in the area.
“Farms of this size don’t come up for sale too often especially with all the land in one block.
“It presents a wonderful opportunity for a purchaser to restore this charming home to its former glory while enjoying the benefits of a substantial farm holding.”
