Sale of the century-old cottage

THE simple, pretty exterior of this cottage in Tower belies its spacious accommodation; it has three bedrooms, one of them a master bedroom that occupies the top floor.

The cottage was originally single-storey, built by Cork County Council in 1912 as part of a model housing scheme around the Hydro Estate, near Blarney.

Each house, designed as three rooms around a central living space, had an acre of land. This cottage has been enlarged, is semi-detached and comfortable, within walking distance of Tower and driving distance of Blarney.
