Take the East Cork choo, choo to a property with potential

Tommy Barker says Jamesbrook Hall is steeped in family history.

STEEPED in history, and set near Saleen Creek and the edge of Cork harbour, Jamesbrook Hall has been brought back from the brink of abandonment in time for East Cork’s full-flight, 21st century jobs and building renaissance.

But, like the Fianna Fáil manifesto ‘A Lot done, More to do,’ it is a house and property project with further potential, in this case the addition of 10 holiday homes for which full planning permission has been given.
