It’s “a Tralee Rose, the pick of the bunch,” says estate agent Ger Carmody about this well-put together, all-singing, all-dancing Kerry home - and, as a former Rose of Tralee escort himself, he’s entitled to the assessment.

The 100-bed Central Hotel in the centre of Tralee town, and built as the Abbeygate 20 years ago, is for sale for €1m.

MOUNDS of work, literally, have gone into the acres of landscaping with this recently-built rural retreat.

THERE’s an offer of €475,000 already made on The Kerries, Tralee, and the guide price is set at €500,000, but auctioneer Paul Stephenson is confident of breaching that limit.
