Period house has full facilities for handling horses on its 18 acres

NOT quite a farm, but certain to appeal to the hobby farm and horsey set is Blake House, on 18 acres of land with extensive buildings and stables in East Cork.

The period style house is a couple of miles off the main route towards Midleton near Carrigtwohill, about eleven miles from Cork city.

The new owners are likely to have a horse connection, given the facilities on offer. The restored Blake House has a four-bed residence, a converted coach house with two bedrooms, land, 14 loose boxes, with good stabling in a reworked barn building, some very attractive two-storey stone built out-buildings with conversion potential.
