The original Killacloyne property, in Deasy family ownership for donkey’s years, was a long, narrow, three-up, three-down home. “The original house was a fair enough size, but it was a bit on the narrow side, so when we were looking at the drawings [for the extension] it made sense to go big. One of those stoves is in a cosy lounge, the other is in the vast, open-plan kitchen/dining/ living room — almost like an atrium — designed so that the living room is not visible from the kitchen. “That was my wife’s request; she didn’t necessarily want to be able to see the living room from the kitchen,” Frank says. lSelling this stylish, light-filled property is Shane Finn of DNG O’Connor Finn who says it’s “insulated up to its eyeballs”.
