Sixties award-winner back in fashion

VERY ’60s in style and layout, Dundanion Court won an award for the former city architect, Neil Hegarty, shortly after these Blackrock houses were first built.

Comprising of 36 units centred around a courtyard, with pared-down landscaped surrounds, Dundanion Court has the happy coincidence of being back in fashion.

And new to the market with Malcolm Tyrrell of Cohalan Downing is number 6 Dundanion Court, a four bedroomed house with 1,200 square feet of space and a look that’s very contemporary.

Completely refurbished over the past two years, the location is excellent in terms of amenities.

Mahon Point is just down the road as are the shopping centres of Douglas. Cork city is a 10-minute drive and the house is also on a main bus route.

Number 6 is located at the rear of the development and has a tranquil location, says Mr Tyrell, with views over woodland to the River Lee.

Interestingly, these modular houses (a similar style to those built by the NBA in the Glen in Cork, which also received a design award) were built with the master bedrooms en suite and came with four bedrooms, a step up from the three-bedroomed standard.

Number 6 comes with a steel and Shaker kitchen, a large living room, an equally big dining room and four bedrooms on the first floor with a main bathroom.

A very attractive feature of the property is the terrace garden at the back, which is wreathed in ivy and has a willow wattle division from its neighbours - it also overlooks the woodland and river and is surprisingly rural.

The guide price for number 6 is €330,000, which in the scheme of things, isn’t bad for the salubrious Blackrock Road address.
