Distinctive listed property will need some restoration

HISTORY and originality combine in this five-bedroomed residence, called Clover Hill House near Mallow, Co Cork.

A distinctive, snub-nosed house, the property is now listed and was, according to records, built by an unidentified family of Cromwellian settlers.

While it’s in need of considerable restoration, it’s probably one of the oldest houses in North Cork and would originally have been thatched.
