Castle promises life of a lord for €7m

FANCY living like a lord on the banks of the River Blackwater? — then here’s your chance. Mallow Castle comes on the market this week with a €7 million-plus price tag.

Set in 30 protected acres and steeped in history, the 12-bedroom manor style home, which boasts eight reception rooms, is owned by a US couple.

The grounds includes the ruins of two earlier castles.
