Tommy83, the trouble with using "grass" for "lawn" in my garden is that the green, flat bit is in fact only about 40% grass, with 20% wild flowers (sounds so much better than weeds!) and 40% moss. I suppose "turf" would cover it...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
I would use either turfed or grassed, or that it has a lawn in the rear and front of the property. I think estate agents have created the word by abbreviating what should be a small description of what lawns the property has in the area. You wouldn't say the school has a football pitched area in the back, or the cottage comes with a fielded area.

I think you can use it as an adjective but not as the past participle of a verb.
p.s. edited to agree with "so........... " !

Liriodendron I would call it a turfed area too.
I think that implies that it has been laid with turf, whereas it might have been originally sown.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
