Headview is a real lifestyle retreat

A GOOD eye, a very sharp one, eclectic too with a quirky and unerring taste applied the final gloss to Lismore’s Headview, once part of the Devonshire estate.

This Victorian home, just on the edge of the restful River Blackwater’s ‘heritage’ town of Lismore, is one of the more manageable quality and lifestyle country house properties to hit the Munster, if not Irish, market this year.

A real lifestyle retreat, it is newly up for sale with a €1.25 million price guide quoted by joint agents Michael H Daniels in Cork, and Ken Madden in Lismore: its buyer could be local, Munster or from farther shores and it doesn’t seem to need any significant further cash spent on it any time soon.
