Rossbrin and Stouke, West Cork

IT will be a hard job keeping up with the neighbours at this farmhouse buy — but, it’s likely the buyers will in any case be fairly well-heeled, and Hunter wellington-shod.

THERE’S only a handful of houses along the front row of the road around Rossbrin in west Cork – it the most scenic of ways of navigating the distance between Ballydehob and Schull.

HOUSES in the west Cork “lifestyle cove” of Rossbrin rarely come up for sale, they get handed down through the generations, and there’s little surprise about that.
