Suburban duplex that’s so good the owner gave it its own name

WHAT’S this, a house name on a duplex? The consensus is that apartments and duplexes have numbers, not names, but the occupant of Sedgemoor had different ideas.

She brought the name Sedgemoor with her from her previous home, to apartment number 17 in the Skehanore scheme on Cork’s south Douglas Road, five or six years ago.

Adding a name was only the most superficial alteration she made: she persuaded the development to customise the 1,070 sq ft home to her own taste and needs.
