A circa 40ac residential farm close to the north Sligo coast has recently come on the market.
Listed with Ballina-based Fox & Gallagher, the property at Oldgrange, Easkey, is for sale by private treaty.
A fragmented holding, the two larger blocks of land are relatively close and the presence of a number of functional sheds, as well as a house that can be moved into straight away, are all likely to appeal to prospective buyers.
Containing three bedrooms, the picture-postcard cottage also has a living room with solid fuel stove and back boiler, a separate sitting room, kitchen, shower room and a study.
While it retains its old-style charm, the residence has been upgraded and has oil-fired central heating and double-glazed windows.
Outside, there is ample parking space, which is concreted and extends back to the yard.
Yard and buildings
Directly behind the house, there is a well-maintained yard that has a range of buildings. Included among them is a three-bay slatted shed and a three-bay round-roofed hay shed, along with several other smaller outbuildings.
They offer potential, especially for anyone on the lookout for an extra bit of ground and livestock accommodation in the area. Equally, they could lend themselves neatly to someone looking to develop a small holding of their own.
To the rear of the house and yard, there are circa 15.2ac of land, in one block. It is laid out in six fields of different sizes and a river flows along the western boundary of the land. There is also an 0.7ac plot of bog included in the sale of the house and land.
The balance of the land is available in two separate lots, the larger of which is just over 200m from the house and yard.
Extending to 15ac, it is in one block that is divided into two fields and it benefits having an animal holding pen and crush near the roadside. This holding has frontage of about 600m on to two roads.
Location
There are a further 9.8ac, which are located at Cooga, over 4km from the main holding - it also has a livestock pen.
Less than 3km from the village of Easkey, the traditional cottage is a turnkey property for anyone on the lookout to pick up a house with land in the area.
Just 1km from the R297 road, which forms the Wild Atlantic Way, this property is a little over five minutes’ drive from the N59, which links Ballina and Sligo.
Guiding the entire holding at €580,000, auctioneer Karl Fox said that interest has come from near and far since this offering was placed on the market.
