A fitting slice of history

Rose Martin is intrigued

HOUSES come with history, the older the house the longer the story and some are just that little bit racy. Take for instance, this little house, Ballymore Villa, near Cuskinny Bay in Cobh, Co Cork.

Built in 1820, it was once part of the Jackson-Bennett estate which included The Priory, Ballymore Lodge, Ballymore Cottage and Bennett's Court, now Cuskinny Court.
