About this property

    Description
    Srah is an extensive mixed tillage and livestock farm which includes a derelict house, a range of outbuildings and extends to about 88 acres in total.

    The land and house have excellent access off the L1558 Rathdowney to Cullahill road and lies within a ring-fenced boundary. A key feature is the track passing through the land which leads to the heart of the farm.

    The predominantly level topography rises from about 104 metres (341 feet) above sea level on the northern boundary to about 118 metres (387 feet) above sea level on the southern boundary. It has approximately 745 metres of road frontage.

    The field at the northern boundary is currently in tillage with the reminder of the farm mainly in permanent pasture. The Long Field runs alongside the L1558 providing extensive road frontage. The remainder of the land varies in quality and includes the moors which comprises about 31 acres which is suitable for the grazing of livestock. There is also a stream providing a natural water supply.

    House
    There is a two-storey derelict house. The house has been uninhabited for some time, however there is great scope to restore this and to develop the farm, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

    Farm Buildings
    The farmyard is located in the heart of the farm and comprises a four-bay shed and a range of traditional derelict outbuildings.
