Renovated and extended farmhouse a rustic idyll

SLEEPY HOLLOW is the name of a house in west Cork, and is not to be mistaken for the 1970s Cork blues band.

And in a way, this is the sort of property that old hippies, (who now run companies and drive Mercedes) might retire to, a 1850s renovation job outside Schull.

On two acres, with its own babbling brook, Sleepy Hollow is being sold lock, stock and barrel by Elaine Spillane of Peninsula Properties for €550,000.
