This year has seen a high number of stately, period homes come up for sale, with farmland. Here’s a property that’s different but which could appeal to even more viewers: a comfortable, three-bedroom home, with plenty of style, on c91ac.

Adding to its charms, the farm is in a pleasant location, about 5km from the centre of busy Tullamore town in Co Offaly – and it’s within the price range of a lot of potential buyers.

The farm is called Castle Lawn and it’s located at Ballinamere, out the west side of Tullamore in the direction of Rahan. It will be offered at auction by GVM in a few weeks, and the guide price is €1.1m.

This is an area of good farming, mostly in livestock with some tillage.

The farm for sale is in one block, all in grass and is laid out in 10 main fields. It’s good quality land. At one end the farm has frontage on to the public road. At the rear it is bounded by the Tullamore River. There are good hedge boundaries around the farm.

Well-equipped kitchen

The kitchen.

The house and yard are together, quite central on the land and set back about 100m from the road. Access is via a tarmacadam avenue, nicely flanked by tall trees.

The bungalow measuring 1,130 sq ft, is in nice condition and tastefully decorated. There is a well-equipped kitchen which opens to a spacious living/dining room with wood ceiling and a large stove. Beside this is the sitting room which has an ornate fireplace – a large window ensures this is a bright room in the daytime.

Down the hall there are three bedrooms and these are bright and roomy. The bathroom is beside them and is modern.

Outside there is a paved area, screened off with nice hedging for privacy. Beside the house there is a small garden area and a number of outbuildings, all tastefully maintained.

The living/dining room is beside the kitchen and is spacious.

Access is along this 100m avenue.

The farm sheds are large.

The farmyard is to the side of the house. It has a large number of round roofed sheds under which there is slatted accommodation. There is also a silage slab. The sheds require repainting but are in good working condition.

The auction will take place on Friday, 8 November at 3pm at the Tullamore Court Hotel. It will also run online on the LSL platform.

Please register your interest with GVM Auctioneers if you wish to bid online. A bidding deposit will be required at least three days prior to the auction for online bidders.
