A compact 37ac residential farm close to the border between Kilkenny and Laois is heading for auction in early March.

On the books of Castlecomer-based Joseph Coogan Auctioneers, the roadside property at Russellstown, Attanagh, Co Kilkenny comes with a guide price of €800,000.

Set back a short distance from the road, the house extends to just over 1,400sq ft and is accessed via a tarmacadam driveway with the yard situated behind it. Surrounded by well-maintained gardens, to the front and side of the property is a detached bungalow with four bedrooms, providing ample space for a large family.

The roadside bungalow that has four bedrooms is surrounded by well-maintained gardens.

The accommodation also includes a kitchen, sitting room, and bathroom. It benefits from an oil-fired-central heating system.

Although dated, the yard is well-kept and contains a mix of outbuildings and sheds with a concrete area connecting them.

A three-span round roof shed with lean-to sheds to the side and rear of it is the largest structure present. One of the lean-tos has a two-span slatted area.

There is also a slatted feeding area, silage pit, a dungstead and a cattle crush.

The three-span round roof hay shed with lean-to's to the side and rear is the largest structure in a well maintained yard.

Divided into eight fields, the land is all in one block, of prime agricultural quality ideally suitable for any agricultural use.

Less than 4km from Ballyragget, this farm is also 6km from Durrow.

Its location in a busy agricultural area could see this property be a useful addition to an existing farm or someone looking to have a turnkey residential farm.

The auction takes place at 3pm on Friday 6 March in the auction room of Ballycomey House, Castlecomer.

Among the lean-to's in the main shed there is a two-span slatted area.
