A 29ac property at Coolowley, Errill, Co Laois comes up for auction by Hennessy Auctioneers with a mix that will suit two different buyers, or one willing to take on both sides of it.

The land is the straightforward part. About 28ac is laid out in a square block, divided into four fields, currently in grass with water throughout. It has good road frontage on two sides, and sits just off the Ballybrophy to Errill Road. It is the kind of ground that could shift between grazing and tillage.

Closer to the entrance, the house and yard are a different proposition. The cottage has been vacant for years and could qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant (VPRG).

Behind the dwelling, there is an old yard with a three-span haybarn, some stone outbuildings and a cattle handling area with crush. It is being offered in three lots, so the land and the house can be separated.

The property goes under the hammer online via the LSL platform on 15 May at 3pm with a guide of €500,000.
