The entire 50ac parcel makes up the final lot. Auctioneer Joe Coogan describes this as a particularly fine piece of ground set in strong farming countryside.

“The farmland at either side of it is in tillage, which is a good indication of the quality of the land,” he said. “It’s situated in a lovely private country setting with good tarmacadam laneway access to public road.”
