Description
Brazil House Built in 1957, Brazil House replaced a traditional thatched farmhouse on what was once a thriving 100-acre market garden and dairy farm. Home to three generations of the Barnwall family, it has a rich farming heritage stretching back over 300 years in the townland of Brazil (Breasil). The Site Set within private grounds of approx. 0.21 hectares 0.5acres, the property enjoys its own ESB supply, internet connection, and access to water at the entrance gate for future mains connection. Wastewater is currently managed by the original septic tank, with scope for an updated system. Recent improvements include new gates, upgraded sightlines onto the road, and provision for lighting or automated gates. A watercourse also runs through the land. The House Spanning over six decades of family life, the house has seen various adaptations, including a ground-floor bedroom and accessible shower. It now requires full refurbishment, offering excellent scope for modernisation. Features include: • Six upgraded double-glazed windows (with eight older aluminium units remaining) • Oil-fired central heating with a recently serviced boiler and desludged tank • Original garage conversion providing additional space, though not to modern standards Potential The property offers excellent redevelopment opportunities. Plans envisioned restoring the west-side garage while creating a substantial east-wing extension, resulting in a well-appointed four-bedroom family home with the option of an independent one-bedroom annex. Brazil House is a character-filled property offering history, space, and exceptional potential. Originally built in 1957 on the site of a traditional farmhouse, it now stands within private grounds and presents a rare opportunity to create a modern family home or multi-generational residence in a peaceful rural setting. • Detached home built in 1957 with rich family heritage and farming history spanning 300 years in the area • Set on private grounds of approx. 0.5 acres with ESB supply, internet connection, oil heating, and water access at the entrance gate. • Recent site upgrades include new gates, improved road access, and provision for lighting/automated gates • House includes ground-floor bedroom, accessible shower, oil-fired central heating (recently serviced), and part-upgraded double-glazed windows • Excellent refurbishment or redevelopment potential, with scope for a spacious four-bedroom family home and independent one-bedroom annex A unique opportunity to reimagine Brazil House—viewing is highly recommended to appreciate its full potential Entrance Hall 2.15m x 1.01m. with laminate wood flooring.
