A Kenmare original and oozing charm

THE most coveted properties in Kenmare line up along Emmett's Place. Gold medal winners for design over 140 years ago, these reliquaries of Lord Landsdowne's estate are a charming aspect of a town that already has plenty of attractive buildings.

Houses here rarely come on the market, in fact they only come up for sale when the owners die, says John Daly. In this instance, the present owners are selling because of space restrictions and there should be a long line of buyers judging by the last sale in the terrace.

This achieved a sum close to the asking price of number 4, Emmett's Place, which is now on the market through Sean Daly and Co for €235,000.
