Kilkenny property from 'The Inheritance' sold for almost €1 million
Production company Peer Pressure, who were behind ‘The Inheritance’, have been busy in Kilkenny again in recent weeks...
A Kilkenny property that featured prominently in a popular television drama series recently sold for €940,000, according to figures obtained from the property price register.
The series follows the Watson siblings who are stunned when they discover that their recently deceased father left everything to a woman they have never heard of.
Many Kilkenny extras featured in the film and it caused great excitement when it was shot here.
Designed by the acclaimed architect Nicholas Fewer and completed in 1997, Fontenoy may well have selected at least in part due to its unique and distinguished character.
The location is also ideal, being just a five minutes' walk from Kilkenny Castle, set immediately adjacent to the serene grounds of Kilkenny Castle.
Production company Peer Pressure, who were behind ‘The Inheritance’, have been busy in Kilkenny again in recent weeks filming for a new production called ‘The Last Resort’.
At the helm of ‘The Last Resort’ is producer Richard Cook, who set up the Cat Laughs Comedy Festival in Kilkenny, founded Kilkenomics and is Artistic Director of Subtitle, a European film festival based in Kilkenny.
According to The Irish Film & Television Network, ‘The Last Resort’ is being directed by well-known British director Sean Ellis.
Further details on ‘The Last Resort’ are yet to be announced.
