Rathealy House, Fermoy, Co Cork. And, then, there’s the relative proximity of the high-level bridge carrying the main Cork-Dublin M8 traffic, over the River Blackwater. Rathealy House is now guided at €785,000 by estate agent and country house specialist Michael H Daniels, and so even on land values alone, it equates to under €20k an acre. Right now, Rathealy House is entered past original splayed entrance pillars off the Rathealy Road, nearly opposite the Sanmina SCI electronics plant, which is a key Fermoy vicinity company and which employs nearly 40,000 worldwide. VERDICT:Price drop on a serious slice of Fermoy and River Blackwater history.
