Something old and new

Skibbereen townhouse is fully renovated and extended, with excellent use of materials, writes Tommy Barker

No 57 St Facthna’s Terrace, Skibbereen, has a traditional look (left) at the front, but is more modern at the back and inside.

OLD — or at least traditional-looking - in front, new and very contemporary in a box extension sort of way to the rear, and comfortable throughout in the middle — that’s the run-through on this St Fachtna’s Terrace home in West Cork’s Skibbereen.
