Co Kildare/£275,000-plus

Glebe Lodge, at Carnalway, Kilcullen Co Kildare, is a cottage-style house that has been fully restored and extended by former Leinster rugby captain Chris Pim and his wife, Louise. The Pims now plan to move to Kilkenny. The four-bedroom house will be auctioned by Jordan Town & Country on June 16th when it is expected to make more than £275,000. It is an exceptionally bright and comfortable family house with a spacious hallway, two reception rooms and a kitchen with fitted pine units downstairs.
