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 & 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.

EYRECOURT BUNGALOW
Adjacent to the horse yard is a newly built, modern-style 3-bedroom bungalow with its own private entrance and garden. The open-plan design features a kitchen and living room, creating a spacious and contemporary living area. Off the kitchen is a spacious utility room with fitted cabinets and a back external offering a convenient everyday entrance from the yard. Down the hall, you will find three generous bedrooms including one with an ensuite along with a main a bathroom, offering ample accommodation for a family.

EYRECOURT EQUESTRIAN YARD
The horse yard is exceptionally well-equipped, featuring a barn with eight stables, each fitted with sliding doors, hay racks, and automatic drinkers. Six of the stables measure 12 x 12 ft, while the remaining two are 15 x 12 ft, providing additional space for foaling mares. The barn also includes a wash bay, a solarium, and a hot water tap, ideal for washing horses or various other needs.
The tack room comes complete with cabinets and a sink, while a separate feed room with an overhead loft offers additional storage. There is also a dung stead reinforced with a mass concrete wall located outside the barn.
Adjacent to the barn, there are two all-weather turnout pads with run-in sheds, securely enclosed with horse-safe mesh fencing from McNamara Fencing.
For exercise and training, the yard includes a lunging ring with a Wexford sand, rubber, and fibre-mixed surface. Additionally, a 45 x 30 ft sand arena, bordered by laurel hedging and poplar trees, is finished with a fibre footing waxed surface from Equestrian Surfaces Ireland.
REDMOUNT COTTAGE
There is also a derelict cottage which seems to be in fair structural condition, with the roof intact, but requiring complete refurbishment and redecoration.
There should be potential to apply for Vacant Property and SEAI grants to assist with the refurbishment. The property is set within approximately 1.17 Ha (2.89 acres) of private grounds and benefits from its own private entrance off the Redmount Hill road, which connects Laurencetown to Eyrecourt.

About Sherry FitzGerald, Country Homes, Farms and Estates

176 Pembroke Road Ballsbridge Dublin D04 EN80

Looking at the company today and thinking back to its’ origins, it’s interesting to see how, in the 30 or so years since its formation, the business has now grown to become Ireland’s largest, fully diversified property advisory firm servicing the residential and commercial property markets. Sherry FitzGerald was founded in 1982 as a result of the amalgamation of 2 companies – FitzGerald & Partners (founded 1972) and Sherry & Sons (founded in 1949). Back in 1982 we had just one residential office on Merrion Row in Dublin 2 with a second office in Terenure not opening until 1989.

Despite the economic difficulties of the 1980’s, the company recruited for the future by forming a team of young property professionals who shared a common vision of a new type of auctioneering company. From the start, we practiced a strong gender balance philosophy, a philosophy we have continued to practice to this day. We understood the absolute prerequisite to have a strong ethical foundation, combined with a sense of unparalleled customer service. That is why, back then, we introduced a non-negotiable rule of not allowing anyone in the company to buy a second-hand house off our own books, coupled with introducing opening 7 days a week into what had traditionally been a ‘9.30 – 5.30 & closed for lunch’ industry. Our strap line in those early days was ‘the new generation of estate agents’ which subsequently evolved into ‘the agent you’d recommend to a friend’.

In 1992 we were the first organisation in the history of the State, outside the Department of the Environment, to provide coherent house price information to the general public and subsequently launched our Dublin house price index in 1996. Today we employ 4 economists and, through all the challenges of the greatest property crash in Europe, we kept our commitment to research and transparent information by not only retaining this function, but by further resourcing it. Our national property index, launched in 1999, is a benchmark in terms of accurate reporting of house price trends. Every 3 months, over the last 15 years, this national index has been published without fear or favour.

In 1998 we opened our first office outside Dublin in Galway. In the same year we launched one of Ireland’s first property websites – www.sherryfitz.ie.

1998 also saw us consolidate our growing commercial presence by forming a joint venture company with the global property advisory firm DTZ Holdings – DTZ Sherry FitzGerald. Today DTZ Sherry FitzGerald is Ireland’s most successful and only nationwide commercial property advisor with offices in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and an associated office in Belfast.

In 1999 we launched Ireland’s first ever national property franchise organisation. Today there are 66 Sherry FitzGerald franchise offices, providing property advice in every corner of Ireland.

In the same year the Group acquired the Ross McParland New Homes business which was subsequently rebranded Sherry FitzGerald New Homes.

The new century kicked off with the acquisition of Cork’s leading residential estate agency, Burton Crowley O’Flynn, later rebranded Sherry FitzGerald and now occupying a flagship office, housing both our Commercial and Residential business on Lapps Quay in the heart of Cork city.

The year 2000 also saw the launch of Mortgage Insight, later rebranded Sherry FitzGerald Financial Services, providing independent mortgage and financial advice.

In 2000 our Chief Executive, Mark FitzGerald, came up with the idea of launching a national property portal and led the process of putting together the team, the partners and the investors that made it happen, with the subsequent successful launch of MyHome.ie in 2001. MyHome.ie quickly became Ireland’s largest and most innovative property website and, 5 years after its launch, was acquired by the Irish Times.

Meanwhile, DTZ Sherry FitzGerald was growing rapidly. In 2004 the company acquired the niche commercial practice of CS Tierney O’Neill as well as further strengthening the Cork commercial business by acquiring the former Collier Jackson Stops office.

In 2005 Sherry FitzGerald successfully diversified into the U.K. market with the acquisition of the 150 year old, central and West London estate agency of Marsh & Parsons. In the following year, Marsh & Parsons acquired another London estate agency, Vanstons, which was rebranded Marsh & Parsons, and in the subsequent 5 years we grew this network to 14 London offices employing over 200 people. In 2011 we successfully sold the Marsh & Parsons business leaving the business debt free.

The timing of the Marsh & Parsons acquisition also helped to protect the Sherry FitzGerald parent business during the depths of the property crash, enabling us to keep all our own offices open and 200 people directly employed. This made us the largest Irish property business to emerge from the crash.

In 2006 we launched two community initiatives supported by the Sherry FitzGerald Foundation. Firstly, the "Your Home Away From Home" which saw us underwrite the purchase of 5 Fontenoy Street, Phibsboro for Temple Street Children´s Hospital to use as parents’ accommodation for two families 365 days a year. We subsequently arranged two successful 10km Walkathons to raise funds for the project. Secondly, we were instrumental in the establishment of Amawele - a new national charity which now twins 85 schools in Ireland with schools in the Eastern and West Cape of South Africa.

In 2008 we were chosen by Christie’s International Real Estate to be their exclusive affiliate in Ireland. This partnership gives sellers of prestige homes in Ireland access to international markets. Likewise we can also offer the owners of luxury property abroad access to local expertise when they come to sell, via the global Christie’s International Real Estate network.

In 2013, we acquired our two residential franchise offices in Galway and Limerick and opened our first Blackrock office in 2014. Since its foundation in August 1982, the Sherry FitzGerald Group has grown from a small fledgling company in one location to a nationwide, diversified business operating in 88 different locations. Currently we employ 315 people directly in our 22 owned offices across a diversified residential and commercial property business (18 residential, 4 commercial), alongside our franchise business with an additional 69 offices throughout Ireland, separately employing over 200 people. Sherry FitzGerald Group remains an Irish privately owned business and committed to leading the marketplace as we have done over the last 32 years.
