Sale of Yomanstown <\/b><\/p>\n
Stud was founded in 1920<\/b><\/p>\n
Yeomanstown, which is for sale, was acquired in 1912 and the Stud founded in 1920 by the late Mr. W.P. Gill, father of Mrs. A. Levins Moore, the present owner, who has placed the property on the market through estate agents, Lisney and Son.<\/p>\n
Undoubtedly, one of the finest private studs to come on the market, it has been a highly successful vendor at the Newmarket-Houghton Sales for over 50 years.\u00a0 Some of the most famous horses bred include Panorama, Spam, Prefect, Crimson, Tudor Melody and his classic winning son Kashmir II, Sarcelle, Sammy Davis, Super Sam, Le Cordonnier, Breeder\u2019s Dream and M-Lolshan.\u00a0 Amongst the successful mares at present at Yeomanstown are Supreme Lady, the dam of M-Lolsham and the two-year-old Chemin, also Isobelline, the dam of Robellina.<\/p>\n
A tarmacadamed avenue, partly tree lined, and easily accessible from Caragh Bridge, on the Liffey, affords private access to Yeomanstown House which is an elegant period house with excellent examples of ornate plasterwork. Good maintenance down through the years has ensured that the house is in good condition and it is now an attractive family home.<\/p>\n
The reception areas and bedrooms are well proportioned and there is an extensive range of built-in cupboards in most rooms.\u00a0 The house is set roughly in the centre of the lands and beautifully set off by mature gardens and lawns which are neat and spruce with flower beds, shrubs and trees.\u00a0 French doors allow immediate access to lawns from the drawingroom.\u00a0 A paved area finished with Liscannor stone is an additional feature.\u00a0 Mature belts of trees, strategically located, provide windbreaks and ensure seclusion.<\/p>\n
Immediately adjoining the house are the three stud yards which include single and double boxes. The farm buildings are close by and there is a substantial walled-in vegetable garden to the rear of the groom\u2019s house, part of which has been converted to a stud-railed paddock. A very useful exercise shed of good proportions lies beside the top stud yard.<\/p>\n
The lands of Yeomanstown amount to about 300 acres and they are laid out in permanent pasture in very good sized divisions, the majority of which are stud-railed.\u00a0 On the east and south side of the estate the Liffey forms the boundary and on the west side there is excellent road frontage.\u00a0 A separate farm entry is available and as well as Yeomanstown House there is also the groom\u2019s house, and two further cottages.\u00a0 An internal network of paths and avenues affords good internal communication.<\/p>\n
The auction will be held on Friday July 25th.<\/p>\n
