Good location for a guest house

LOOKS like things are ‘coming up roses’ for the Brambles, an eight-bedroom guest house a couple of miles from Midleton in East Cork, at Ballyrichard, off the busy N25 Cork and Rosslare road.

The Brambles is on a site of a third of an acre, and, from a business point of view, bio-pharm company Amgen is to bring 1,500 jobs to a new plant it wants to build nearby, between Carrigtwohill and Midleton.

Speculators have driven up house prices, since January, in the entire East Cork region.
