Ballynoe House is really the complete package

This substantial Sands Cove, Clonakilty property has something for everyone, writes Tommy Barker

LOTS of experience has gone into Ballynoe House — the owners have built or refurbished a couple of dozen houses by now (and have one more to go), while its architect Mike Shanahan wrote the book — literally — on building sensitively in the rural landscape.

A new market arrival at summer’s end is this very complete package by Sands Cove, Clonakilty, a few fields away from the ocean, and 50 minutes from Cork City, airport and ferries.
