A very special hideaway

Tommy Barker visits a West Cork property with its own guest cottage.

A SUN room links two houses to form a sheltering courtyard at Schull’s Ancaire - a spot where it may cost €1.37 million to drop anchor.

A cluster of stone-built West Cork dwellings, the roots of the property go back to 1880, but its modern-day look and conveniences only hark back to 2000.
