The genuine article

A GEORGIAN period home, dating to the mid-1700s and well-maintained down through the centuries, is for sale just outside Cork city.

The Georgian tag gets bandied about loosely in this country, getting extended way past its sell-by date and well into Queen Victoria's reign.

But Brookville House, on the edge of Glanmire and four miles from Cork city is the genuine article, sitting on 20 very valuable acres of grounds - one of which is strictly for the birds and the fishes.
