Newberry Hall Demesne,

Co Kildare: €7.5m

Although in need of extensive renovation work, this Palladian mansion on 444 acres was sold in September to an unmarried young Irish farmer.

It took just three weeks to sell, during which time 14 farmers and businessmen from Ireland, the US and UK viewed the property. The buyer is understood to have employed one of the leading consultant architects in the business to oversee the restoration, the cost of which may also run into millions.
