Co Wicklow €700,000:There's grazing rights for two horses or 25 sheep in a stone house near Ashford - but it's more likely to appeal to a city slicker.

It's hard to believe that this traditional cottage is within an easy commute of Dublin, being just outside Ashford in Co Wicklow.

Ballyduff Cottage and its 0.75 acres of land, comes with grazing rights on Ballyduff Hill for two horses or 25 sheep, but given its location about 3km from busy Ashford village and the N11, it's unlikely to be bought by a shepherd.

Instead, the cottage and outbuildings, all needing refurbishment, are likely to be snapped up, either as a holiday home or for their clear development potential.

Local agents Clarke Auctioneers are asking €700,000 for the stone-built property. Sitting on an elevated site , it has views down to Ashford and in the distance, Wicklow Harbour.
