Double take gives this Schull home holiday edge

IN West Cork, you can sometimes become a little jaded with stone-fronted houses in idyllic locations.

It’s almost like saying that heaven’s a place where nothing happens - until of course, you live in one.

Take this prime example in Lowertown, Schull, which, while it may twitch the status anxiety of the average, single home owner, is a pretty good take on the vernacular. Architect-designed, the two-storey farmhouse can cram in much more space, but with the mass broken up by roof levels and the use of stone and slate.
