Proven track record

IT might be called after a dog, but life at Parkdown in West Cork’s quite exclusive Schull is far from being in the dog house.

Named after the famous greyhound Parkdown Jet, winner of the 1981 English Derby, this house is itself has a bit of property pedigree (as well as a swimming pool, boat house and dramatic soaring interiors) to it.

It is being sold by local Schull business couple Michael and Helen Barnett - the surname is generations in the hardware trade and over shop doors in the village.
