Affordable new farmhouse

OLD granite buildings with a span new farmhouse in one of Carlow’s most scenic areas are on offer at Ballon for the affordable sum of €174,590.

With Dublin just 55 miles away, this house is being pitched at the weekend/holiday home market by selling agents ERA McCormack.

Completely fitted out with pine flooring and a farmhouse pine kitchen, this two-bedroomed house makes terrific use of its 890 square feet of space, the agents say.
