East Cork cottage has the charm

THIS extended and reconstituted cottage on more than an acre of East Cork coastal land could be the perfect full-time home, or else an ideal second home, according to the selling agents.

The cottage, at Ballyhimikin near Ladysbridge, overlooks Ballycotton Bay, a couple of miles from the sea.

It has been painstakingly renovated and upgraded by its owner of the last number of years. Extra space has been added on using lots of salvage materials and timbers in the process.
