East Cork home where style meets practicality 57 Willowbank Midleton Chic home has great sense of living space, says Catherine Shanahan Midleton, East Cork Bedrooms C2 A JAMIE Blue island unit adds a striking pop of colour to the kitchen at 57 Willowbank, where the owner’s keen interest in interiors helped create a chic living space at the heart of her home. That space is the upshot of a well-executed extension in 2013 when a living area, complete with Velux windows to ensure much natural light, was added to the kitchen-cum-dining room. The sense of space is further amplified by French doors that open onto rear decking in a south-westerly facing garden.
