Victorian farmhouse in Cornafean

An interesting and attractive one-off period property has come to the market through Cavan based estate agents, auctioneers and valuers, O'Reilly, Taylor And Tweedy, for the representatives of the late Frank Harkness.

With a guide price of €350,000, the property situated in the townland of Cornafean and Cloggy in Co. Cavan is an early Victorian two-storey farmhouse with outbuildings on land of approximately 35 acres.

The residence was built circa 1860, say the selling agents, and the farm has long road frontage and is "in the main, excellent quality land".

The property is approached by a short, arched tree-lined driveway off the public road in a picturesque setting a short distance from Cornafean Golf Course.

Accommodation consists of an entrance hallway measuring approximately 14ft x 10 ft, a sitting room at 13ft x 12.6ft with period fireplace, dining room at 13ft x 12ft with open fireplace, a kitchen with dimensions of 14ft x 13ft and an old Stanley range and loft overhead.

Upstairs, there is a spacious landing and three bedrooms, one of which is a double and two of which are singles.

The outbuildings include an old stone barn measuring 50ft x 30ft, a three-bay hay shed and other sheds which could be used for various purposes.

Full planning permission has been granted to build a dormer-style home on the lands, which can be sold separately.

"The sale of this property offers a rare opportunity to those seeking a choice roadside farm with a period house in need of some refurbishment in the Cornafean area," says Martin O'Reilly, of O'Reilly, Taylor And Tweedy.
