Eyebrows will be raised

EYEBROWS will be raised at Waterford’s St James Wood development: the only reason these house aren’t unique is because there’s fifteen of them, each with distinctive arched eyebrow windows front and back.

The tall, thatched houses tap into the local thatching tradition, but go bigger and higher in the very sense, with Aga cookers for the quintessential country lifestyle and comfort taken for granted.

With hand-picked materials used and skilfully crafted, they reflect the country’s current affluence, and seek after some of it too, with sales prices starting from €820,000.
