Farm offers pure country living with lots of room to roam

BACK on the market following the collapse of a recent sale is Castleoliver Farm, a 20-acre property near Ardpatrick in Co Limerick.

This is a property with a collection of renovated outhouses and a main residence set in the rolling pastureland of south east Limerick, with the Ballyhoura Mountains as a backdrop.

The main house has 4,000 sq ft of space and has considerable charm, without being twee. Entrance is through a lean-to conservatory, which leads onto the kitchen/dining room. This has the obligatory Aga and also comes with hand-built pitch pine units and a double Belfast sink unit.

The sitting room is light and modern with a simple firebreast and old ladderback doors. Three bedrooms are spread over two floors and there is a main bathroom and ensuite master included.

Next, there’s a separate, two-bedroomed annex with a sitting room, kitchen and plenty of storage and a semi-lofted store that functions as a work room or office.

The farm buildings are set in an old stone courtyard with five impressive outbuildings leading to three main paddocks.

Gardens are well-tended and includes a pond, beds lawn and plenty of old trees.

Paul O’Driscoll of Sherry FitzGerald is selling Castleoliver Farm for offers in the region of €395,000.
