Grand, Victorian Woodville House is on the Blackwater and has eleven peaceful acres

WITH the daffodils just popping up now among the anemones and snowdrops in its front drive, and under old chestnut trees, Woodville House is a River Blackwater treasure, and an early-season Munster market arrival.

Priced at €625,000, and with eleven acres of good, limestone land and Blackwater river frontage, huge period integrity and a secret, internal link passage via a Narnia-like closet door (see pic, right) , it will have a wide buying appeal.

Expect UK-based callers given the Sterling’s strength, but Irish viewers, too, should be wooed by this most genuine of country homes.
