Fishing for a hillside perch with bells ’n whistles?

Tommy Barker says the owners of this former cottage in Sandycove, Kinsale have gone to great heights to make use of its stunning views.

WHILE Bluebell Cottage undoubtedly has its charms inside, they’ll hardly compete with what’s on offer outside — views.

This Sandycove, Cork home is virtually a modern build, despite its antique decor and theme inside: it grew out of a tiny, two-room cottage built in the pre-war period, and mostly is 1980s and later in quality and feel.
