Co Kildare: The selling agents are quoting a guide price of around €5.5 million for one of the most substantial Co Kildare farms to come on the market this autumn.
Roselawn, a Georgian house on 284 acres near Celbridge, goes to auction on October 8th through joint agents Coonan Real Estate Alliance and Brophy Farrell.
The main house, approached by a long avenue, is an imposing period piece from the outside, albeit in need of total refurbishment. There are six bedrooms on the first floor, four main reception rooms on the ground floor, and a plethora of rooms - boot room and so on - at basement level.
As well as a gate lodge, there are three cottages in need of repair. The property has been in the same family for nearly 75 years. Earlier, it had a Michael Collins family link - it belonged to his brother, Sean.
Although it has been farmed down the years, it's inevitable that some prospective buyers will be wondering about possible development potential. It's one and a half miles from Celbridge and three miles from Maynooth.
