HOUSE OF THE WEEK

The 5,000 sq ft, mint-order, Orchard House in the grounds of Cork’s Maryborough House Hotel has barely been lived in since it was last sold-and-bought, in 2010. The price is €1.55m for the five/six-bed three-storey home done to a high build and finish standard, and to a Victorian-style template, says Tommy Barker

Might lightening, with luck, strike twice? If so, the pick-of-the-bunch home, Orchard House, in the grounds of Cork’s Maryborough House Hotel, could be the lucky recipient. It hit the sales jackpot last time around.

This one-off, reproduction, Victorian-styled home has featured before, and fairly extensively, on these pages, and last changed hands in 2010, when it was bought by a woman based in China and with European work connections.
