Spectacular and expansive: Cork's Lough Mahon House for €2.35m

Tommy Barker is blown away by Cork’s extraordinary Lough Mahon House.

Coming of age, at 21 years old, is Cork’s Lough Mahon House, a quite spectacular and large home, built without regard to expense in the run-up to the Millennium.

But, luxurious and all as it, it’s more than given a run for its money by its acres of gardens, scything green lawned walkways, mature planting, specimen shrubs, water features, and myriad sit-out spots and hide-outs for downtimes.
