Summary
Parkstown is a premier quality tillage farm producing consistently high yields and extending to about 182.45 acres (73.83 hectares). The farm has a favourable location on the village fringe and is easily accessible, with the convenience of the nearby M3 and M4.
Parkstown comprises a well-balanced range of assets including a charming country house at its core. The extensive range of farm buildings are a notable feature, offering winter accommodation of livestock, grain storage and general purpose storage, while there is a courtyard immediately to the rear of the house formed by a charming range of traditional outbuildings.
A key feature of the farm is the scale and quality of the single block of land. The fields can produce high yields of the full range of cereals and root crops, and they are of a good workable size and layout for modern agricultural techniques. Access to the fields is excellent, with frontage onto three roads and an excellent hardcore internal farm road. The recent cropping at Parkstown includes winter wheat, winter barley, oats, oil seed rape, potatoes and maize.
Three fields adjoining the house and yard are presently in grass and are fenced and watered for livestock.
Alongside the tillage crops, a beef-finishing enterprise was previously in operation at Parkstown, with accommodation for up to 550 head of cattle. The land has benefitted from regular applications of organic fertiliser.
Parkstown offers an exciting opportunity to acquire a 182-acre versatile farm which is fully equipped for modern day farming and features an imposing historic house.
Parkstown House
An impressive, late 18th-Century property, Parkstown House is reached via a gravel driveway flanked by trees and is entered from a public road (R156) through a bell-mouthed stone wall with piers and cast-iron gates. The driveway continues through a classic parkland setting to the formal gardens and mature trees surrounding the house which is approached via another pair of octagonal stone pillars. The driveway terminates in front of the house where there is ample parking.
With a five-bay entrance front and a south-easterly facing regular arrangement of windows, Parkstown House has accommodation laid out over three storeys. The central bay is emphasised by a pain-type limestone doorcase with Tuscan pilasters, fanlight and timber panelled double door. Two blank niches sit above the front door.
An impressive reception hall/dining room with a staircase is flanked by a sitting room and drawing room. The dining room leads to a breakfast room which gives access to a kitchen, boot room, shower room and an office.
Notable internal period features include sash and case windows, ceiling roses, cornicing, architraves, a stained-glass door in the hall with rare rising hinges and decorative fireplaces. There are two Stanley stoves and a solid fuel range cooker.
The bedroom accommodation is laid out over the first and second floors. A glass house is attached to the southern elevation of the house.
Outbuildings
Attached to the rear of the house is a range of traditional outbuildings, forming a central courtyard and including former stables, stores and a workshop. They are of stone and slate construction and have been extensively renovated by the present owners.
