Going for a rebel song

THE house that provided secret succour to General Tom Barry and which was mentioned in his book Guerrilla Days in Ireland, is on the market this week with a guide price of €635,000.

For sale through Malcolm Tyrrell of Cohalan Downing and Associates, Belrose House, Upton, in Co Cork, it is in excellent decorative and structural condition and comes with six acres of rolling Bandon farmland.

Set at the end of a private driveway and with south-facing views over the Owenabue valley, this plum property is ripe for the picking.
