Historic appeal

BUILT in the 1820s, just as Catholic Relief Act of 1829 was enacted, this substantial period property at Murroe, Co Limerick reflects the history of Ireland.

And the very fact that it was built marks the rise of the Catholic middle class as Castlecomfort was built by a Catholic priest. Fr Thomas O’Brien Costello was wont to entertain The Liberator, Daniel O’Connell, and the Apostle of Temperance, Theobald Matthew.

Castlecomfort comes back on the market with 15 acres and a much reduced guide price.
