The Cork house Dermot Bannon waited a whole 10 years to see

Here's a look at why this Goleen residence is Dermot Bannon's favourite in Ireland as he gives a peek inside an incredible home

The residence at Goleen, Co Cork. 

As a nation we’re “house proud beyond belief” — keeping one eye on tradition and the other on innovation. If that observation, made at the outset of tonight's episode of Dermot Bannon's Incredible Homes on RTÉ One, were to take shape in bricks and mortar, it would surely be as this limestone-hewn coastal dwelling in west Cork.
