Vast Cork former TB sanitorium complex available for the price of a bungalow

Worse than the Covid-19 pandemic's 1,960 deaths this year, the long-lasting Tuberculosis epidemic often claimed the lives of over 10,000 a year in Ireland when this Co Cork sanitorium was built

Heatherside opened in 1909 in the Ballyhoura Hills  off the N20 Cork-Limerick rod s a sanatorium to combat tuberculosis.

A 110-year-old former medical facility and sanatorium designed to counter the tuberculosis epidemic which annually claimed 5,000 to over 10,000 Irish lives over several decades has come for sale.

Guided at just €350,000 by Lisney Cork on behalf of the HSE – about the price of an average county bungalow - is the quite extraordinary Heatherside Hospital complex.
