Fairytale good looks

IT’S almost too good to be true - wonderful period house, superb decor and grounds that are achingly pretty - and it’s right next door to a castle.

Faerie Fort has fairytale good looks and nestles beside Barryscourt Castle, in Co Cork. Once on the old road to Carrigtwohill, it now sits under the bypass to the Midleton Parkway, but is a world away from the hustle and bustle.

It could now makes somebody’s midsummer dream home as the property is just on the market with Kevin O’Connell of Dan O’Connell and Co for offers in the region of €500,000.
