Morrissey sells his Cobh holiday home for €575k

The former Smiths frontman purchased the Co. Cork home for his late mother.

Morrissey has reportedly sold his Cobh manor The Manse, which he bought in 2002 for his beloved mother, Elizabeth Anne Dwyer.

Dublin-born Elizabeth passed away in 2020 after an illness, at which time Morrissey wrote on his website: ““She is me, and without her… there is no tomorrow.”

Elizabeth’s seaside holiday home was in an area both she and Morrissey loved, as documented in his song ‘Irish Blood, English Heart’.

The 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom Victorian home sits on 0.6 acres of land, and also boasts ballroom-esque reception rooms and sunrooms overlooking Cobh Harbour.
