Heather Cottage is a striking contemporary home on Dublin’s windswept Howth Peninsula, one of the most coveted coastal locations in Ireland. This one-of-a-kind, five-bedroom home sits discreetly into the landscape in an area of outstanding natural beauty, just outside Howth village. Heather Cottage is the last word in discretion.
