A cul de sac that leads to a revelation

Rose Martin has found a lovely cottage in a perfect location close to Blarney, Co Cork

THE days of snapping up a cottage on an acre on the edge of Cork city are few and far between, but the arrival of Rose Cottage on the market should confound and, perhaps, delight those who have given up the hunt.

Bookings are in train for the three-bed on 0.7 of an acre despite having just gone up for sale. The reason? Site and location.
