Cottage glory restored

A TRUE Georgian cottage - the kind which features in Jane Austen’s, Sense and Sensibility, is accessible enough for the 21st century and comfortable to boot.

Built in the early 1800s and now refurbished and restored, Green Cottage in Glenbrook, Co Cork, is on the market at the moment with Malcolm Tyrrell of Cohalan Downing and Associates.

Now at the end of a terrace, this house would once have been the only house on the hill upwards towards Monkstown, says Mr Tyrrell, and it still commands fine, harbour views.
