While the heritage town of Lismore hasn’t been experiencing the high level of property activity seen in some coastal areas in recent months, it has been seeing a little bit of a run on large period homes.

Since the start of the year, two high-priced country houses in the area have gone sale agreed. Salterbridge House, a 15,600 sq ft Regency residence with 136 acres of land, was acquired by Dublin businessman Stephen Vernon in May for close to its €3.25m guide.
