House of the week

IT’S time to roll up the sleeves at Kilmaloda House, as this 210-year-old country house near West Cork’s Timoleague gets set to change hands again, after a 40-year spell in current family ownership.
Though still standing straight and true, and with several fine distinguishing architectural features, as well as some smashing stone and slate outbuildings dotted around, plus a walled garden, it’s a retreat where time has taken a bit of a toll, and where much of its once extensive lands that merited extensive extra buildings and staff, have been sold off.
