17-acre Wicklow farm with three bed bungalow priced at €650,000 ahead of auction

Accessed via a private entrance onto the main road at Killoughter, the expansive property is laid out in two large divisions of land divided by a gentle stream running through the holding.

The land is relatively flat, free draining and ideal for tillage, grazing or horticultural purposes, while the surrounding area includes a mix of equestrian land, tillage farms and dairy farms.

The out buildings are of mixed quality with a good-sized agricultural shed and lean-to, garage and various smaller out buildings. The main agricultural shed would have the potential for a variety of uses, from stables to a workshop or storage space.

Constructed in 1973, the traditional bungalow has block-built walls and a pitched and tiled roof, with the house enjoying direct road frontage onto the main R761 roadway.

The bungalow measures c. 105 sqm (1,130 sqft) with accommodation comprising an entrance hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, conservatory, three bedrooms and family bathroom.

While the home is fitted with double-glazed windows and heated via an oil fired heating system, selling agent, Clarke Auctioneers, noted that the property would benefit from some further modernisation, renovation and decorative work and "there is considerable potential to modify and extend to create a substantial family home (subject to planning permission where applicable)".

"Clarke Auctioneers Ltd are delighted to bring to market this wonderful residential holding with endless potential situated in the townland of Killoughter on the Eastern side of Ashford village," the auctioneers added.

"This is a unique opportunity to acquire a house and c. 18 acres of quality agricultural land in one of the most attractive and sought-after locations in this part of Wicklow.

"Killoughter is situated on the leafy coast road linking Greystones, Newcastle, Rathnew and Ashford and is home to some of the areas' best farms and farmland and a hugely desirable residential location.

"For those looking for a house and lands for equestrian purposes, a small agricultural holding or a property with land and endless potential, this property should be a strong consideration for any discerning purchasers."
