A SITTING room where there was once a stable, original brick walls, and some charming classics in the garden — if it’s nostalgia you are after, you’ll find it in spades in Walshtown Beg.

Fresh to market with David Keane Property Services and on circa three-quarters of an acre, it dates back to 1905 and is the handiwork of the men who also built the Most Holy Rosary Church in Midleton, Jeremiah J Coffey & Sons.
