Green is the colour, Fuschia is the name of charming West Cork house

YOU can wear the green and wet the shamrock at Fuschia House, an intriguing village-centre home with green-painted facade in west Cork’s pretty Courtmacsherry.

The five-bed home has a garden across the road, in two tiers, dropping down to the sea, and is right next door to the RNLI lifeboat boathouse and slipway.

And, behind the house itself, privately set in the back yard, is a stone-built two-storey stable block, awaiting conversion or renovation. It could also be used as a kids’ play space and den.
