Niche development’s estuary views will satisfy your lofty ambitions

CHARLEMONT HEIGHTS is well-named, as the hillside houses have a lofty demeanour and a view over the Douglas estuary and the lights of Mahon Point.

There’s only a dozen or so 2,000 sq ft houses in Rochestown’s Charlemont Heights, a development off Coach Hill which set a bit of a style marker for the mid to late 1980s.

The houses only infrequently come up for sale, though two are on the market this month.
