Lot: 1,
Red House Farm, Claddagh, Ballyjamesduff, Co. Cavan
AUCTION - THURSDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER 2025 AT 3PM IN ROOM & ONLINE
Set amidst a tranquil rural backdrop and approached via a private tree lined driveway, Red House Farm presents a truly special opportunity to own a character filled countryside residence set on approximately 3.06 hectares (7.56 acres) of high quality free draining land. This charming holding combines a traditional early 1900s farmhouse with a versatile range of agricultural and equestrian outbuildings.
The residence retains many of its original features while offering comfortable living accommodation throughout. Upon arrival, the beautiful cut stone façade above the front door immediately sets the tone. Internally, the home offers a spacious lounge with a striking brick fireplace with a solid fuel stove, creating a wonderful focal point. To the right lies a cosy bedroom with a large feature fireplace. The central hallway leads to the main bathroom and spacious kitchen with ample fitted storage. Adjacent to the kitchen is a reception room with its own fireplace, while a rear utility and tack room complete the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the home offers two generously sized bedrooms and a study, each enjoying lovely countryside views and natural light. The residence has had renovation works carried out over the years with one of the stand outs being PV panels.
The lands at Red House Farm are laid out in four neat and manageable paddocks, all bound by mature hedgerows and offering excellent accessibility from the central yard. The land is of high quality and naturally free draining, making it suitable for a variety of uses including hobby farming, equestrian, or other rural enterprises.
The yard includes a collection of outbuildings, stables complete with rubber matting and drinkers, a rubber-based arena ideal for training horses, and a substantial three-bay shed which has been converted to a workshop. This unit boasts a loft, toilet facilities, and a commercial grade three phase power system run off a diesel generator which, at the flick of a switch, can also power the main residence.
Red House Farm strikes the perfect balance between privacy and convenience, located in the scenic Claddagh countryside yet within easy reach of Ballyjamesduff, Oldcastle and Virginia. Rarely does a holding of such character and flexibility come to the market in this area.
