Graham Norton is selling up and has used an innovative way of helping his agent publicise the property - by tweeting a link to the details to his 805,000 social media followers.
Anyone looking for a house asked the celebrity on Twitter yesterday lunchtime.
The link with the tweet was to details of a large 2,200 square foot house set in five acres of grounds on the Sheep`s Head Peninsula near Cork. There is a slipway, spectacular views and a substantial water frontage.
It has a kitchen garden and landscaped grounds outside while inside boasts traditional stone floors and walls and timber beamed ceilings after being tastefully extended and modernized over the years.
The agent, Charles McCarthy, confirmed to EAT that this was Norton's home.
But the asking price perhaps says more about Ireland's still volatile housing market than it does about Norton's no-doubt-flamboyant lifestyle - it's on sale for a modest 1.2m or £953,000.

It is quite clear social media has played an essential part, in how businesses work in todays society. It is important as property professionals, to enhance your reputation as a business rather than your customer base.
Wow, could you imagine if the property was in England This highlights the value that Social Media marketing can have on an agency in an extreme way. In a more realistic sense, it's a free form of advertising and communication.
Slow news day Anyway, bit of free publicity from a high-profile celebrity, nice if you can get it, but not sure theyll have too many putting in offers for a property at that price. Volatile market or not, it shows where we are at the moment that 1.2m is seen as modest.
