Visual delight at Gurteenroe

CRAFTMANSHIP came to the fore in this west Cork home – a retreat, really.

Built about five years ago, with comfort and energy efficiency in mind, this Gurteenroe home is on three rugged acres, with pond and curving decking, has productive gardens and beds, and there’s even an option for a further 25 acres or so of land for those looking for a little or large slice of the good life.

This 2,500 sq ft property mix became home to talented, and enterprising, builder Colin Fletcher and his gardener wife Jane after a dedicated research and building process.
