Sympathetically restored The Old Forge near Cappoquin is pretty as a picture

Trish Dromey says a cottage in Cappoquin on the market for €190,000 is cute and colourful and has unparalleled valley views.

WITH red window planters, whitewashed walls, neat roof thatching and colourful gardens, The Old Forge near Cappoquin is pretty enough to attract the attention of snap-happy tourists who pass by.

Probably built in the 1800, it was once a forge but is now an attractive two-bed cottage which has been sympathetically restored.
