This spectacular one-off family home stretches to 5,000 sq ft of expertly designed accommodation with no expense spared, says Tommy Barker.

THE sea is seconds away and can be viewed from the Alpine-style balcony of the master bedroom, as it can from almost all of the rooms in this cute dormer at Inch Bay in Whitegate, Co Cork.

IT'S hard to believe that this superbly finished house was once a cottage now it's an all ensuite, four bedroomed property with a stunning location overlooking the water at Inch Bay in Whitegate, Co Cork.
