Dot, dot, dot, cash, cash, cash,
estate agent signals Marconi sale
It was the Irish home of a wireless pioneer and has now gone on the market for £400,000.
Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi carried out early radio transmission experiments to and from Rathlin Island from Ballycastle in 1898.
His house, known as Marconi's cottage, sits on the rocks of the North Antrim coast two miles outside Ballycastle.
The experiments were part of the development of wireless telegraphy which would transform communications.
Belfast-based selling agent BTWCairns described the cottage as sitting on a "secluded 18 acre site with breathtaking sea views and surrounded by rural countryside".
Just the spot for an inventor to quietly tinker with electromagnetic waves.
