Ideal holiday home

YOU can sense, anticipate, or at the very least hope for warm summer days to come at this Schull, west Cork home — it has a garden feature set up for glorious weather days.

And, if glory days are in short supply, sure the feature in question might at least serve as a functional wind-break.

Looking very much the sort of thing you’d have seen in Grand Designs/Diarmuid Gavin garden makeover programmes on the telly in the past decade, the eye-catching feature is a curved, block-built crescent wall built to about head-height, as a patio framer.
