Eyrecourt House
The main house at Eyrecourt Demesne is a beautifully refurbished Georgian-style farmhouse, thoughtfully updated by its current owners. Stepping through the front door, which is adorned with an elegant decorative fanlight, you are welcomed into a bright and inviting porch. Large sash windows bathe the space in natural light, while classic wall panelling adds a touch of character. From here, double doors open into the expansive kitchen and living area, a warm and welcoming space designed for both dining and relaxation. Rich wood effect floors and the continuation of the elegant panelling from the porch create a seamless and sophisticated flow throughout the room.

The kitchen seamlessly blends traditional charm with modern convenience. It features stunning duck-egg blue cabinetry paired with elegant white marble countertops, while a peninsula island with seating for four creates a welcoming gathering space. A classic Belfast sink, a Stanley electric induction range cooker, and an integrated fridge and freezer complete the space, combining style and functionality.

Double doors open from the kitchen to the outdoors, filling the room with natural light and offering easy access to the garden. A separate door leads to the utility room, which continues the same duck-egg blue cabinetry and includes a convenient adjoining toilet.

Directly off the main living area is a versatile room, currently used as a playroom but easily adaptable as an additional living space, bedroom, or home office.

Upstairs, you will find three bright and spacious bedrooms, each filled with natural light and views of the surrounding farm. The bathroom is beautifully designed, featuring classic panelling that adds character and charm. It is equipped with a WC, a stylish vanity unit, a shower, and a bath.

Eyrecourt Lands and Dairy Yard
The property is currently operated as a successful dairy farm, spanning approximately 53.44 Hectares (132 Acres) of high quality land, divided into 22 paddocks. An underground network of 2-inch water pipes ensures a reliable water supply to the troughs.

The farmyard features a 14-unit herringbone milking parlour equipped with a Packo bulk tank capable of holding 18,500 litres. However, full planning permission has been granted for a six-bay, back-to-back 32- unit parlour, with the pit and steel framework already in place (drawings available upon request).

Additionally, there is a newly constructed 9-foot-deep slurry storage tank (36 x 200 ft) with full planning permission for slats and cubicles to be built over it. The yard currently accommodates 200 cow cubicles across three sheds, all fitted with automatic drinking bowls:

– a four-bay slatted shed with a central feed passage, housing 50 cubicles.
– a four-bay (20 ft bays), 80 x 80 ft shed containing 90 cubicles, which is connected via a slatted walkway to the next cubicle shed.
– a three-bay, 75 x 35 ft shed with 60 cubicles, featuring a four-bay tank underneath.

The latter two sheds are equipped with automatic hydraulic scrapers.

Additional farm buildings include:
– a six-bay round-roof calving shed.
– a four-bay slatted shed with a feed passage.
– A five-bay back-to-back calf shed with a central feed passage.

The yard also includes two silage slabs measuring 90 x 42 ft and 210 x 50 ft.
