House of the week

Grey Court House is going to have an appeal for buyers looking for a period house, country living, horses, pets and gardening.

NOT quite a completed project, but the end is in sight — that’s Grey Court House on 15 acre of accessible East Cork land. Set near where the Amgen pharma plant was due to fund a local land and gold rush a few years ago, this is a bit of old country grace, between Midleton and Carrigtwohill, a 20 minute spin from Cork City.

There’s a lot on offer here for those hankering for a horse or two and a heft of country lifestyle, from prime land and woods, to attractive old stone outbuildings, as well as a log cabin, all up a short, private approach avenue from the N25.
