Detached farmhouse with huge potential
€220,000
RIVERSIDE Farm is a stunning countryside property that will give its next owner everything they need, as well as all the extra space they want.
The four-bedroom farmhouse has been left with a unique character after being renovated in the early 1970s by a German owner. Its unusual style is clear immediately in the tiled floors, chunky wooden shutters and arched internal doors.
Thanks to the renovation, Riverside Farm is in an immediately habitable condition, with mains electricity, broadband and oil-fired central heating already installed. But some owners may be interested in giving it their own modern touches or even an extension.
The kitchen has a tiled breakfast barIts kitchen includes a tiled breakfast bar and is fully fitted with an electric oven, cooker and sink. The sitting room, meanwhile, is centred around a grand traditional fireplace.
One slight drawback is the fact the property has only one bathroom. But its four bedrooms leave open the possibility of creating a second, while maintaining enough living space for most interested buyers.
Riverside Farm’s real value, however, is to be found outside the house itself, in its numerous outbuildings.
The largest is a double workshop that has previously served as the base of a business empire and could be transformed into a suitable working space for most professions. It could also be converted into additional living accommodation if required.
The sitting room features a grand traditional fireplaceThe farmhouse is located on a quiet country lane on the East Clare Walking Route and is surrounded by fenced paddocks, as well as a relatively new stables block that has space for four horses. Its peaceful seven acres also include a number of mature trees and frontage onto the Bleach River.
Riverside’s landscaped front garden, meanwhile, offers an explosion of colour in spring and summer.
Estate agent Steve Symes says that the charming property is ideally suited to someone seeking a lifestyle change. And its appeal is made all the more significant by its good location.
At just 30 miles from Shannon Airport and just 20 miles from Ennis, it is within a convenient distance of anyone flying in for the weekend seeking an easily-reached base that is peaceful but not isolated.
