Organically grown home

TAKE an old cottage in a good location and then add on a bit — not an unusual ploy in the property market and The Lodge in Riverstick, Co Cork is a good conversion.

Situated in Coolkirky and mid-way between the city and Kinsale, this four bedroomed house is ready to go and also has some really nice new features.

In an area where planning is restricted, growing your own home appears to be a sensible option and here, there’s a whopping two-storey extension onto the old, single-storey house.
