Stepping through the front door, which is adorned with an elegant decorative fanlight, you are welcomed into a bright and inviting porch. Large sash windows bathe the space in natural light, while classic wall panelling adds a touch of character. From here, double doors open into the expansive kitchen and living area, a warm and welcoming space designed for both dining and relaxation. Rich wood effect floors and the continuation of the elegant panelling from the porch create a seamless and sophisticated flow throughout the room. The kitchen seamlessly blends traditional charm with modern convenience. It features stunning duck-egg blue cabinetry paired with elegant white marble countertops, while a peninsula island with seating for four creates a welcoming gathering space. A classic Belfast sink, a Stanley electric induction range cooker, and an integrated fridge and freezer complete the space, combining style and functionality. Double doors open from the kitchen to the outdoors, filling the room with natural light and offering easy access to the garden. A separate door leads to the utility room, which continues the same duck-egg blue cabinetry and includes a convenient adjoining toilet. Directly off the main living area is a versatile room, currently used as a playroom but easily adaptable as an additional living space, bedroom, or home office. Upstairs, you will find three bright and spacious bedrooms, each filled with natural light and views of the surrounding farm. The bathroom is beautifully designed, featuring classic panelling that adds character and charm. It is equipped with a WC, a stylish vanity unit, a shower, and a bath. EYRECOURT LANDS & DAIRY YARD The property is currently operated as a successful dairy farm, spanning approximately 53.44 Hectares (132 Acres) of high quality land, divided into 22 paddocks. An underground network of 2-inch water pipes ensures a reliable water supply to the troughs. The farmyard features a 14-unit herringbone milking parlour equipped with a Packo bulk tank capable of holding 18,500 litres. However, full planning permission has been granted for a six-bay, back-to-back 32- unit parlour, with the pit and steel framework already in place (drawings available upon request). Additionally, there is a newly constructed 9-foot-deep slurry storage tank (36 x 200 ft) with full planning permission for slats and cubicles to be built over it. The yard currently accommodates 200 cow cubicles across three sheds, all fitted with automatic drinking bowls: • A four-bay slatted shed with a central feed passage, housing 50 cubicles. • A four-bay (20 ft bays), 80 x 80 ft shed containing 90 cubicles, which is connected via a slatted walkway to the next cubicle shed. • A three-bay, 75 x 35 ft shed with 60 cubicles, featuring a four-bay tank underneath. The latter two sheds are equipped with automatic hydraulic scrapers. Additional farm buildings include: • A six-bay round-roof calving shed. • A four-bay slatted shed with a feed passage. • A five-bay back-to-back calf shed with a central feed passage. The yard also includes two silage slabs measuring 90 x 42 ft and 210 x 50 ft. EYRECOURT BUNGALOW Adjacent to the horse yard is a newly built, modern-style 3-bedroom bungalow with its own private entrance and garden. The open-plan design features a kitchen and living room, creating a spacious and contemporary living area. Off the kitchen is a spacious utility room with fitted cabinets and a back external offering a convenient everyday entrance from the yard. Down the hall, you will find three generous bedrooms including one with an ensuite along with a main a bathroom, offering ample accommodation for a family. EYRECOURT EQUESTRIAN YARD The horse yard is exceptionally well-equipped, featuring a barn with eight stables, each fitted with sliding doors, hay racks, and automatic drinkers. Six of the stables measure 12 x 12 ft, while the remaining two are 15 x 12 ft, providing additional space for foaling mares. The barn also includes a wash bay, a solarium, and a hot water tap, ideal for washing horses or various other needs. The tack room comes complete with cabinets and a sink, while a separate feed room with an overhead loft offers additional storage. There is also a dung stead reinforced with a mass concrete wall located outside the barn. Adjacent to the barn, there are two all-weather turnout pads with run-in sheds, securely enclosed with horse-safe mesh fencing from McNamara Fencing. For exercise and training, the yard includes a lunging ring with a Wexford sand, rubber, and fibre-mixed surface. Additionally, a 45 x 30 ft sand arena, bordered by laurel hedging and poplar trees, is finished with a fibre footing waxed surface from Equestrian Surfaces Ireland. REDMOUNT COTTAGE There is also a derelict cottage which seems to be in fair structural condition, with the roof intact, but requiring complete refurbishment and redecoration. There should be potential to apply for Vacant Property and SEAI grants to assist with the refurbishment.
