Valley Farm is a residential farm on around 80 acres in Redcross, Co Wicklow which is for auction by J P & M Doyle on May 18th, who is guiding £800,000 (€1.016m). As well as the main house the property features a two-bedroomed cottage that has been modernised. There is also another old stone cottage on the property which still has its original slate roof but little else and so would be ripe for restoration.

The house and the gardens that surround it have been well cared for and every effort has been made to blend the outbuildings in with their picturesque rural surrounding. Even the tin-roofed stables have been whitewashed and their half-doors painted a vibrant glossy red while trellises have been pinned to the walls to carry the flowering climbers. The main farmhouse is in good condition and has three bedrooms, all of which are doubles. There is also a livingroom, kitchen, diningroom and conservatory. The agents think that the property will appeal to people interested in horses because there are five stables and a tack room as well as a hay-shed and a cattle-shed. Valley Farm has got good road frontage and is situated just three miles from the N11, 2.5 miles from Redcross village and four miles from Rathdrum, the Wicklow village that is increasingly appealing to Dublin commuters.
