Video: Pristine Ardnacarrig house has history and elegance - and comes complete with observation tower

The River Bandon-fronting home, Ardnacarrig, is coming up on its 200th birthday, and rarely, if ever, in its long and venerable life, has it been so quite so elegant, and quite so comfortable. 

Always a minded home, and built in 1820 by the Allman family who ran what was then Ireland’s largest pot still whisky distillery across the river, it has had two recent renovations, in 1989, and again in 2010.
