Here’s another chance for buyers to follow the yellow brick homes

DULUX might well name a creamy paint colour Dewberry Yellow after the swathe of pastoral and buttery shades applied to the houses at Dewberry, in the Mount Oval Village development in Cork’s Rochestown.

The range of utterly butterly colours marks out the first clutch of the bigger homes in the large-scale O’Flynn Construction development, and coming up to two years in occupation the first re-sales are trickling through.

Just before Christmas, no 14 Dewberry hit the market at €560,000 with Paul Reid of Sherry Fitzgerald. Now, straight out of the traps for the start of 2004, is no 60 Dewberry, a similarly styled house with 1,940 sq ft of space and, carrying a €550,000 price guide, this time with Joey Sheahan of F&V Sheahan auctioneers.
