British Labour Party member of the House of Lords, Wilf Stevenson, lists his luxury West Cork Glebe House on the River Ilen

Glebe House, Aughadown, Skibbereen, Co Cork.

A British Labour Party member of the House of Lords, Baron Wilf Stevenson, is set to sell his West Cork Ilen River-side period home, Glebe House, for close to €4m – some €1.5m more than he had paid former AIB senior executive David Duffy for it back in 2016.

The vendor’s links to West Cork have continued a long chain going back to former British prime minister James Callaghan (‘Big Jim’), who holidayed locally, to former British ambassador to the United States, Peter Jay and his wife Margaret, and to another former Labour British prime minister Gordon Brown, who’s been a regular visitor.
