HOPEFULLY it isn’t ominous – but the dining room lightshade hanging over the table at yacht designer Rob Doyle’s design-savvy home is a design called Titanic. On the plus side, the sleek, long light has been in place for quite a few years, unlike that fateful ship.
IT’S one of the most subtle and intelligent renovations of a railway cottage you’ll find and this Mourneabbey, Mallow, property is also in showhouse condition.
IT’S the row with the dolphin door knockers – familiar to the fresh air brigade who love the Scilly walk, Kinsale. And while the address, Scilly Terrace, might not ring a bell, the distinctive ironmongery does – it’s part of its charm.
AN original of the species, and the original of its setting, is Richmond House, a Georgian villa near Glanmire, Co Cork whose original wooded grounds have been swallowed up by one-off housing in the past number of decades.

JUST off the road to Carrigillihy Strand, this Union Hall, West Cork cottage is ideal second home material.
A new selling agent, and a good chunk off the price, could see fresh eyes look over the six-bed detached house Brackendale, off Cork’s South Douglas Road.

ONE local house sale is currently going through, and now another Endsleigh Park house comes up needing a new owner and some TLC.
JUST out past Kilkee’s West End, on the Dunlickey Road near the famous horseshoe shape sweep of beach, is this three-bed early 1900s seaside semi-d.
