Rare breed up for sale in the Paddocks

IT was the bee’s knees when it first opened and it even won a few awards for its architect, Roddy Hogan, who also lives there himself.

Where is it? The Paddocks, of course, that wooded estate at the end of Maryborough Hill where that slight twist in the standard estate plan gives this scheme of detached houses more than its geographical elevation.

The Paddocks is seen as one of the better Douglas addresses and re-sales here are rare enough, which means there should be a number of ready buyers for number 3, Tirol Avenue, new to the market this week.
