Trading up: DRINAGH, CORK €195,000
APTLY named is the extended and upgraded Drinagh, west Cork home called Stone House: it has managed to retain much of its original build material inside and out, but done in a smart way, not too rough and rustic.
It’s set 20 minutes inland from both Clonakilty and Skibbereen, a mile or two uphill above Drinagh lake, and looks down into that lake, and stands on a site of around three-quarter of an acre which clearly have been taken in hand by a gardener and given a landscaping twist, with attractive paths, steps and pond, as well as sun-trap (well, in this weather, sheltered at least) seating areas.
