THE deadline for expressions of interest in the vacant Necarne Estate in Irvinstown, Co Fermanagh, has been extended to Friday, September 16th, by the Fermanagh and Omagh District Council.

A popular point-to-point venue, the estate, which stands on 230 acres of grass and woodland, boosts a Grade B-listed 17th century Tudor castle, a gate lodge and garden house and further accommodation with 16 rooms.
