Farm a snip at the price

IT’S big, it’s practically brand new, and it comes with 12.5 acres of land and is a perfect example of the modern hobby farm.

Located between Limerick and Cork cities, this property at Teeveeny, Dromina, Charleville is a snip at €450,000, says Trevor McCarthy of Irish and European.

Just a mile to the village of Dromina, with shops and schools within walking distance, the house is perfectly finished.

The house is ideal for a growing family, and offers big rooms with top class facilities. Outside, the land is paddocked and would be ideal for horses or a small head of cattle — pedigree, perhaps.

The small holding has good quality level land which could easily take an orchard, vegetable garden and other pleasurable plantings. It’s backed by forestry and is quite sheltered and most of the hard landscaping work has been done.

There’s great living space with a lounge, playroom/TV room, separate dining room, conservatory and office. The kitchen/diner is fitted with ash units and a range master stove, and overhead there are four big double bedrooms, including a full master suite and a large, walk-in hot press. Then there’s further space in the attic that’s floored and ready to go for any purpose.

The ground floor comes with underfloor heating and oak flooring and there’s double insulation to the external walls, says Trevor McCarthy, and a central vacuum system.

All in all a house well worth a look for those in the area and those willing to commute to either city.
