HIS traditional, stone-built three-bedroomed cottage is a good-quality renovation with warm, comfortable living space and the kind of character that you won’t get in a new build.

On the market with Sherry FitzGerald O’Neill, the house is on a sublime level acre of land, which would offer home-growing space to new owners too.
