The mellow brick house by the waterside

NICE mellow brick, a big, big house and a location overlooking the water at Cobh in Co Cork are yours with no 24, Copperfields.

Set in Rushbrooke (all the better for commuters), this house is mega at just under 3,000 square feet and it comes on the market at a reasonable €620,000.

Spick and span, light and bright, it’s the quintessential modern home and has gardens to the same standard.
