Rathcoursey House reveals its hidden charms

FOR the majority of people, buying a house is one of the most important decisions they will ever make, and it takes time and deliberation to find the right house in which to put down roots.

When Beth Hallinan heard that Rathcoursey House, near Midleton in East Cork was for sale, she immediately travelled from London to investigate.

“I viewed it at 11am and by noon the deal was done,” says Beth, originally from Lakeview outside Midleton. A little impulsive, to say the least.
