Court-ordered home front sale for Morris

ALMOST 200 years old is this former mill, owned in recent years by overseas property promoter Karl Morris, and now being sold by a bank on foot of a court order.

The Old Mill and adjoining mews, plus original mill wheel and gears (and possibly millstone) with gardens with sea frontage and boat access via a slip, is near Schull in west Cork, and had been on the market for a period guiding a veryaspirational €1 million.

But, like the Irish and overseas markets exploited by Mr Morris (he sold heavily in Spain, Morocco and Montenegro), values have now fallen sharply.
