Meanwhile, further north in Co Kildare in a place that rejoices in the romantic name of Cupidstown, Sherry FitzGerald O’Reilly auctioneers are handling the executor sale of 21ac of ground that comes to auction with a guide price of €175,000.
Located close to Kilteel, the land is laid out in a number of paddocks divided by post and rail fencing and all are in good heart with easy access to Kilteel, Kill and Naas.

“The property will be sold on the day, it is an executor sale and I’m instructed to sell, so when we hit the guide price of €175,000, it is on the market,” he said.
The auction takes place at Lawlor’s Hotel, Naas at 3pm on Wednesday, May 23.
