The city at your feet

ONE of the least showy addresses in town, but certainly one of the better ones, Sidney Park is tucked away in an estate just two minutes from Patrick Street.

Living here is a bit of an acquired taste. The “discerning purchaser” of brochure-speak mustn’t hanker after the large green spaces of the suburbs, or the blandishments of shopping malls.

On the other hand, you have the city and real shops at your feet, tree-lined older gardens and stunning views in a peaceful location.
