A very fine country home on 80.8ac of good farmland has come on the market in Co Monaghan. Glynch House, just outside the village of Newbliss, is for sale from Sherry Fitzgerald Country Homes by private treaty with an asking price of €1.15m.
The property sits on a good stretch of straight regional road, the R183, which connects Newbliss to Clones. The house and associated buildings are set back from the road, accessed by a nice, recessed gate and tarmacadam avenue. The house is surrounded by mature trees, giving privacy.
This is a nice location. Newbliss is 750m away with shops, petrol stations and other outlets for day-to-day needs. Busy Clones town is 7.7km away and Monaghan town 18km. Dublin Airport is 134km away and Belfast Airport 122km, via the M1.
The land is good quality, with big trees throughout.
The land is laid out in six main fields and is in permanent pasture. It’s good-quality land with a lot of mature trees and hedging. The land is productive and suited for tillage as well as grazing, the auctioneers say.
There is a slatted cattle shed to the rear of the house. The shed and the land have their own entrance at the rear of the property on to another public road. This farm road gives access to the fields.
The entrance off the R183.
The land is rented to a local farmer and has been well maintained but vacant possession will be given to a buyer on completion of the sale.
