HISTORY

The property is believed to date to the 1820s and was associated with Winspur Toye, the major developer of the Georgian town, who also started building the southern row of Emmet Square in the 1820s. Its earliest known occupier, Eugene O’Sullivan, ran a public house from the building in 1846 but it reverted solely to a residence by 1849 after he left and has continued that way since. The building had a long association with the Bateman family initially, occupiers from the 1850s and more recently with the Houlihan family from the 1940s.

LOCATION

The location and convenience of the property on McCurtain Hill is superb. Clonakilty is a popular residential, market and award-winning tourist town that attracts families interested in taking advantage of the fine facilities and amenities including excellent Schools, Shops, Sports and Recreation.
