Riverside town centre setting part of the attraction of Fuller’s Folly

FANCY a folly for keeps?

Dating back to the 1870s, the three-storey limestone-built tower or castle shape backing into the original and now restored Desmond castle in the prosperous Co Limerick town is a new market arrival, at a sub-€300,000 price. In fact, the guide is just €290,000 via Colm O’Donovan of Sherry FitzGerald O’Donovan.

In good overall condition, built of cut stone with some Gothic elements and topped by a pitched slate roof, it could suit commercial or even residential uses, and is being vacated by an architect design firm.
