Fine home on Dublin's doorstep

OWNED by the same family for five generations, Cappakeel House, Emo in Co Laois is finally being disposed of by its owners through a private treaty sale.

Due to be auctioned on July 18, this lovely old farmhouse was withdrawn when it failed to reach the guide price.

Now re-launched through Liam Hargaden of Jordan Town and Country Estates, the asking price is in the region of 450,000 euro
