Cottage with big ideas

This home began life as a two-bed cottage and has been bumped up to a 1,650 sq ft house since an revamp in 2006, writes Tommy Barker

WHAT was a traditional two-bed cottage on an acre has swollen, since a radical overhaul in 2006, up to 1,650 sq ft — but site size has diminished to 0.2 of an acre.

Now, The Cottage, at Killeendaniel, near Whitechurch, is a new arrival, creating a stir, thanks to its internal quality and finishes, and a location less than five miles from Cork City centre.
