What else could I get for... Sir Walter Raleigh's €275,000 castle in Cork
We take a look at what around €275,000 would get you around the rest of the country.
THIS CASTLE IN Co Cork would take a serious renovation effort.
While it comes onto the market with no roof or interior, it will appeal to individuals with a sense of history.
The building has passed through some famous hands in its time. It dates from the 13th century and was once in the possession of Sir Walter Raleigh, the man credited with popularising tobacco in England.
The castle sits next to an estuary and Belvelly Bridge. Planning permission has already been granted for it to be restored and it is thought that the building should sleep up to 12 people when finished.
It is around five miles from Cork city and is on the market for €275,000.
Here is what roughly €275,000 would get you around the rest of the country…
