Privacy and rural tranquility are at the heart of Clonoulty House. For sale by private treaty with Maher Auctioneers, the 60ac farm in Clonoulty, Goold’s Cross, Co Tipperary offers a sense of seclusion that feels worlds away from the bustle of the nearby market town of Cashel, Co Tipperary. Set back from the hedge-lined road, the entrance is easy to miss on approach, with the tall roller gate revealing little of the farm beyond.

On the right-hand side through the gateway is the main residence. Having been vacant for several years, the four-bedroom period farmhouse requires full refurbishment, and is likely to qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant (VPRG). However, the high ceilinged, well-proportioned rooms point to its potential as a spacious and comfortable family home once restored to its prime.

To the rear of the house is a courtyard area containing a number of stone outbuildings and workshops. Several of these of these adjoin the main residence, offering scope for conversion and redevelopment subject to the necessary permissions.

Leading on from this is a hidden garden, enclosed by high mature hedging. French doors from the rear reception room of the house open directly on to this area, creating a peaceful space.

Although currently fitted out with stables, the main livestock accommodation is readily adaptable.

Surrounding the dwelling is the land, laid out in six neat rectangular fields which are secured by fencing. One plot stretches widthways in front of the house, with the remaining five fields to the rear, laid out lengthways in neat rectangular parcels, each with two points of entry. The tarmac avenue continues throughout the holding, providing direct access to each field. Actively grazed by cattle and horses, the land is classed as premium Tipperary grassland, suited to pasturing and silage production.

An extensive farm roadway offers good access throughout the farm.

Halfway along the strectch of fields is the farmyard complex, occupying a conveniently central location. Constructed four years ago, the facilities are in excellent condition. With multiple skylights and an open-apex roof, the main livestock building is an airy space. Fitted with 20 stables for equestrian use, the internal configuration makes it readily adaptable for a variety of agricultural uses.

Each field has direct access to the farm road.

The yard also includes a haybarn and machinery shed, complemented by a large concrete apron with space for the movement and manoeuvring of machinery. The scale of the land combined with the yard’s functionality means the holding is well-equipped to support a range of farming enterprises.

Guided at €1.4 million, Clonoulty House will appeal to those seeking a fully operational farm, while also offering strong residential potential.
