Neat package, inside and out

Bandon bungalow sits on a half acre site with mature garden and a sun room with some ripening tomato plants, Tommy Barker reports

The 1970s way of facing houses in stone hasn’t stood the test of time too well. Back then, they put the stone on sort of flat-faced, intending it to be ’decorative’, and it just never quite looks as natural as the more traditional/modern way of using its full depth.

The front of this Bandon bungalow home has that flat-stone look, and now, 27 years after it was built, it’s the pebble-dashed rear facade of the property with its sun room that is easier on the eye.
