Coonan Real Estate Alliance are guiding a figure in excess of 50m for the land which overlooks Knightsbridge golf club and which is to be sold by tender on 9 November.

An Bord Pleanala recently granted planning permission for a mix of three- and fourbed semis, two-storey detached houses and threeand four-bed town houses and bungalows on the site.

"Ten houses per acre is now regarded as low density housing and the site has obvious potential to increase this density, " says Will Coonan of selling agents Coonan Real Estate Alliance.

An exceptional degree of interest is anticipated in the sale, particularly with the new Office of Public Works headquarters currently under construction in Trim.

At least 350 Civil Servants will be employed at the new government offices and many of them are expected to seek residential accommodation in the vicinity of the town.

The Quinn Direct company's plan to open a new insurance head office in the area will further increase demand for homes in the area.

The site offers exceptional views over the local Christy O'Connor-designed golf course and it's only a short stroll to a new four-star hotel . . . Knights Brook Hotel and Country Club . . . offering state of the art leisure facilities.

The property is for sale by tender on Thursday 9 November at 12 noon.
