Victorian-style White House has acres of land, village setting, and classic Rosscarbery lagoon views, says Tommy Barker

The great white hope of West Cork

DO addresses sound more upwardly mobile than The White House? The proud owners of this Rosscarbery, West Cork White House say they are often queried about its postal address.

But, it’s a name that has stuck with the Victorian-style house for years, and it’s a place that has links to the village’s ancient and monastic past. Right in the core of scenic Rosscarbery, and overlooking its amenity salt-water lagoon, it even has a doorway in an ancient wall, leading to the 1612-built, and still proudly standing and serving, St Fachtna’s Cathedral.
