Where cool, calm and clever meet

IT starts with the stove — a girly-floral, pewter confection which throws out heat on a crisp, spring day.

Made in Italy at the turn of the last century, it’s moved all the way to Minane Bridge via Leap, and surveys the kitchen of this pretty house like a prima donna from its own, slate plinth.

As a kick off, the stove adds immediate emphasis to the cool, calm and country style of Slieveroe Lodge, a clever little house that’s full of artisan craft work and artistic endeavour.
