Bishops Lane: €4.1m:A price drop of over €500,000 is expected to generate fresh interest in a modern five-bedroom house on 2.2 acres in a tranquil setting in Kilternan, Co Dublin.

Shanrose went on the market earlier in the year at €4.75 million but the vendors have since switched estate agents.

Sherry FitzGerald is now asking €4.15 million for the 487sq m (5,250sq ft) - down from €4.75 million.

Called Shanrose, the house dates from the 1970s but it was thoroughly remodelled in 2000.
