Jordan Auctioneers,
Newbridge are delighted to bring to the market a Superb Country Estate with
Period Residence, Steward’s House, Limestone Yard & Walled Garden in one
large holding on some of the best land in County Kildare at Carbury,
Co.Kildare.
Haggard
is superbly located close to the Meath and Offaly borders. The M4 Motorway is
accessible at Enfield (Junction 9) with Edenderry 6km, Naas 30km and Dublin
City 50km.
Haggard
House is a two storey over basement Period house of circa 371.6 sq.m (4000
sq.ft) built in circa 1824 with a rear extension and occupied by the current
family since 1956. It is approached via a tree lined avenue off the main road.
The house remains intact with many of its original features including
plasterwork and window shutters. There is an impressive entrance hall with a
drawing room and dining room on either side, both beautifully proportioned
rooms leading to a substantial kitchen. On the first floor there are five
bedrooms and a bathroom. The basement comprises a number of rooms with the
original kitchen and stores.
To
the front is a lawned area which in the past accommodated two grass based
tennis courts. Overall whilst the house requires investment it is a manageable
size and upon restoration would provide an ideal Country residence.
To
the immediate rear of the main residence is an original courtyard which
comprises an old coach house with loft in addition to a number of stables and
general outhouses in need of some repair. There are two separate yards located
adjacent to the courtyard and providing an extensive number of limestone
stables and a former two storey Steward’s house all requiring renovation. There
is also a farmyard with three hay barns all with concrete bases in addition to
a number of general outbuildings.
There
is a lovely walled garden close to the yards and main residence of circa ½ an
acre. The wall itself is in very good condition and is a splendid feature of
the property.
The
land comprises a total area of approximately 116 hectares (286 acres) all in
one large block with extensive road frontage and several access points. The
breakdown of the lands is 60 acres in tillage, 170 in grass, 37 acres in
forestry and 19 acres of scrub and bog (part of which may be suitable for
planting). The land has superb mature timber and natural hedgerows providing
excellent shelter throughout. There is piped water to most divisions and a
combination of electric fence and sheep wire on the boundaries. Overall the
land is good quality suitable for arable or grass based enterprises. The land
is classified in the soils map of County Kildare as primarily ‘Elton Series’
soils and these are generally regarded as some of the best lands in the county with
a very wide use range and a limestone base ideally suitable for Bloodstock use.
