Old Head, Kinsale house gathers interest at home and overseas

Old Head home seeks new hands, says Tommy Barker.  

AN INTERNET posting just before the Christmas holidays of this old-style country home’s arrival on the property market turned into a deluge of online inquiries, when the country woke up and came back to business earlier this month.

“I was bombarded by e-mails on January 4th, as soon as we turned on the computer again after the break,” says local Kinsale estate agent James Murphy, expressing a happy surprise at how busy he’s been since, with first viewings. He’s answering calls and mails from all over the country, and from far farther afield too, including the US, Far East and Europe.
