Georgian farm in reach of capital

UP for sale by public auction this month is Glebe House, appropriately situated in Church Hill, at Clonard in Meath.

It dates to the 18th century, and is Georgian in character with 31 acres of land, all in grass.

It is ideal for a small stud farm enterprise or hobby farm, and is an hour from Dublin.

It is located against a background of rolling parkland, off the N4 between Enfield and Kinnegad, with good road frontage and the house overlooks the 30 plus acres of privately owned land and mature trees.

Apart from the land, there is a courtyard, a lower farmyard with five-span machinery or general purpose shed, a 75’ by 15’ lean-to, and three loose boxes.

There’s attractive informal gardens, but the bulk of the land is in three divisions of pasture, with fine stands of mature oak and beech trees.

The house, two-storey over basement, has four bedrooms, all with fireplaces, three reception rooms also with fireplaces, two bathrooms, kitchen with Aga, utility and stores. The basement has laundry, drying room or boiler room, dairy or larder, and a rear entrance hall.

South-facing in aspect, Glebe House goes to auction with joint agents Murtagh Brothers, Mullingar and HOK Country on July 15. The guide price is €1.3 million.
