Urlar House, Urlar , Carney, F91 D820

Derelict House on 9.7 acres

"Under bare Ben Bulben's head" - W.B.Yeats

Set in the stunning landscape of North Sligo, with the magical Benbulben mountain as a backdrop, Urlar House is located within 10 minutes drive of a number of beautiful beaches, at Rosses Point, Lisadell, Maugherow, and Streedagh. It is also within 10 minutes drive of Sligo University Hospital, Atlantic Technological University, and Sligo Town Centre. Located along the N15 (Sligo-Donegal Road), this is a very attractive rural property that will appeal to those seeking "a project".

The land is of good quality, all in one square block, fronting the N15, and has potential for small holding to compliment the residence. Urlar House is a listed building in the National Records. Renovation works had commenced approx 15 years ago, but were never completed, and the residence now lies semi-derelict. It has a beautiful south-facing aspect and, with time and money, could be restored to its former glory. The house originally extended to approx 200m² over two floors and, up to about 25 years ago, had been used as a guest house. The house is thought to have been built in the 1840's/50's.

At the back of the residence is an enclosed courtyard with a range of two storey outbuildings with a pitched slate roof. These outbuildings are largely intact and could be another renovation project for residential accommodation for guests or extended family members. 

The farm accommodation includes a 3-bay slatted house with creep area at rear. The land is divided into a number of paddocks with mature trees and hedging.

The residence and buildings are accessed off the N15 by a tarmac and gravel driveway which needs upgrading.

Services to the property include mains water and electricity.
