Whitehorn Valley offers added luxury in country house package

Located at Garraun South, this detached modern country house near Donoughmore, Co Cork, is well-finished, Tommy Barker reports

IT must be an Irish thing, but this summer you can see the logic to putting a solid fuel stove into a sun room.

That sensible gable-end extra, about 12’ square and with pitched ceilings and a Velux, is in pride of place in this detached Donoughmore, Co Cork modern country house; it makes the home comfortably usable in any and all weathers. Even when not lit, the stove’s a focal point, and at night can be used for safely holding atmospheric candles.
