Glandore home harbours Olympic horse hopes

This hill-top beauty in West Cork offers an unmatchable package for home hunters in the market’s upper echelons. Tommy Barker reports.

IT HAS been a busy enough two years since Debby and Martin Ewing bought Baywood House, above glorious Glandore.

Having searched for ages for (and having found) — the perfect Irish coastal property with land for their horses, they’re very unexpectedly heading off again, to a dream job back in their native UK. But, during their sojourn in one of West Cork’s most special settings, they’ve done a full, quality overhaul on the 5,000 sq ft 1990s built hill-top house, landscaped the extra grounds, and brought the equestrian side of the package up to the highest standards.
