Dormer delight in west Cork

Saturday, March 06, 2010

DONE up by a brother and sister team as a guest accommodation venture, Standing Stone is a waterfront Schull home with a shingle beach, and a range of possible future uses.

The dormer bungalow with some design swagger has been made over for use as five self-contained holiday suites, with direct water frontage to Schull harbour and is set just five minutes walk back into Schull itself.

"Possibly the best views and setting in Schull," risks selling agent Martin Swanton for the property on just about one third of an acre. He quotes a price of €1.47 million as it goes to market, and those seeking to convert it back to private residential usage will have to factor in some extra spending for the conversion back.
