THE expression “that puts the tin hat on it” applies at least in one very obvious way at Shrone Hill View: The recently built home by the entrance to West Cork’s Glengarriff village is standout, thanks to its black corrugated steel cladding, roof, and, a steel-clad eyrie right up top for view soaking. There’s an “as new” feel to everything, with gleaming walnut-look laminate flooring, with Silestone tops on the kitchen units. It’s the perfect sit back and gaze out at the beauty of the setting, and out to the hillside townland of Shrone off the Castletownbere road, giving Shrone Hill View its name. VERDICT: Impossible to miss right now as a new arrival above the road, and distinctive in just about anyone’s book. The upside down layout means the one-off Shrone Hill View really “does exactly what it says on the tin”.
