Lodge trips the light fantastic

HEATHER Lodge, at Gubbeen, Schull, is described by West Cork wordsmith/auctioneer, Jim O’Keefe, as “an original Shaun and Matt”, referring to its builders, the O’Sullivan brothers whose building skills and quality of finish are highly regarded in the peninsula.

This modern, but yet traditional, stone-faced house has lots of style and when you add in a in a perfect, one-acre site with views west towards the Mizen and a location just a mile and half from Schull, you have a house that ticks most boxes.

Then, of course, it’s high U values and low maintenance means it’s perfect for full-time or holiday home buyers who want to be close to one of the buzziest towns on the West Cork coastline.
