MARKET SQUARE, STRADBALLY, CO.LAOIS.
Jordan
Auctioneers, Newbridge on the instructions of the Executors sold a substantial
house in the centre of Stradbally last week by Public Auction. Before an
attendance of about 25 people the property opened with an initial bid of
€150,000. It was evident from the outset that there were a number of potential
purchasers and the bidding quickly rose to over €200,000 (guide price) at which
stage the property was placed on the market.
Two
final purchasers battled it out before the hammer dropped to a young couple for
€265,000. The property comprised a fine detached two storey late Georgian residence originally built in
the late 1840’s and extending to c. 262 sq.m. (2,820 sq.ft.) on c. 0.19
hectares (0.46 acres).
The property is accessed to the rear via electric
gates and stands on a lovely mature site overlooking Cosby Hall. The gardens are walled in which provides
privacy and are mainly in lawn with mature shrubs and herbaceous borders.
Although the entire requires some modernisation it is generally in good repair
with some fine plasterwork, window shutters and fireplaces.
Clive Kavanagh speaking after the Auction said ‘the property had generated substantial
interest from the outset with over 30 viewings and the vendors were delighted
with the result on the day’.
