Stunning setting for Driftwood with views over beach

THERE’s a strong maritime feel to the house Driftwood — not unsurprising, maybe, as one of its owners is in the boat repair business.

Heavily timbered inside, with wood-clad and wainscoted walls, the character-ful bungalow home is on the upper side of the Coast Road in Fountainstown, above the popular south Cork beach.

Quietly on the market over the summer months, it is belatedly getting a bit of a public push out before the winter finally closes in.
