Born-again cottage in vogue

THE OLD two-up, two-down has seen many ministrations since the cottage has come back in vogue as a des res.

In this case, at Meadstown, Ballygarvan in Cork, the basic look has changed little on the outside, but this cottage has been extended at the back to provide more space that it would have had originally.

Now this born-again cottage comes with two to three bedrooms, a living room, and kitchen, as well as a dual purpose sunroom/dining room.
