Local farm of 341 acres under the hammer

A substantial 341-acre residential farm at Templepatrick, near Moyvore, is to be offered for sale by public auction next month. The property, which carries the Eircode N91 XC42, will go under the hammer on Friday, October 9, at 3pm, unless previously sold.

Situated just off the R392 on the outskirts of Moyvore, the holding includes a charming period-style six-bedroom residence, traditional cut-stone farmyard and extensive lands.

The property is being marketed as a family home and agricultural holding, with the auction particulars highlighting its location, quality of land and potential for a range of farming enterprises. The traditional house extends over two floors. On the ground floor there is a kitchen fitted with an oil-fired Aga, two spacious reception rooms, a scullery and a sunroom overlooking landscaped gardens. Upstairs, there are six generously sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. The lands are currently all in pasture but have previously been used for tillage. The property has extensive road frontage and large, open divisions, which the auction details state provide considerable scope for different types of farming enterprise.

Adding to the character of the holding are numerous original cut-stone outbuildings forming part of the farmyard. The auction will take place at the Murtagh Bros auction rooms on Main Street, Enfield, Meath, at 3pm on October 9. Prospective bidders are required to register with the auctioneers by Wednesday, October 7, with registration available through the auction office on 044 9342512.
