Cottage was lodge to TV star

GOOD taste is evident in an extended cottage lodge to Coolmore House, the large period home used during the filming of the TV series Good Behaviour.

The 18th century Coolmore House and estate, owned by the Newenham family, formed the backdrop to the popular Hugh Leonard 1980s TV adaptation of the Molly Keane novel.

The large period house is visible from across the Carrigaline estuary along the Crosshaven road, while on the Currabinny side of the water eight gothic-styled lodges guard the gateway entrance to Coolmore. In two groups of four, the limestone lodges or cottages are fronted with communal gardens, with more private gardens behind.
