It’s best to view this four-bedroom C1-rated house from its rear elevation as only then do you get a sense of all the work that has gone into this half-acre garden. A bolthole for its restaurateur owners, it’s beautifully laid out with glass houses, vegetable patches, a pond and pizza oven. In excellent order, near the seaside village on the Wild Atlantic Way the house has 198sq m (2,131sq ft) of floor space.
Plus: Lovely home and superb gardens
Minus: It’s a drive for a pint of milk
