Crowning glory in scheme overlooking a golf club

IF house roofs can be compared to hats, then the crowning glory on the eight-only detached houses at Brickfields look closest to skull caps.

The distinctive houses surprisingly have rooms on three/five split internal levels, with curved metal roofs, sloping, not just one direction, but in two ways. Complicated engineering, to be sure, but graceful nonetheless.

Finally coming to market as the last phase, Brickfields is a scheme of 56 houses and apartments off Cork’s Skehard Road which is a handy 0.9 of a mile from the heart of Douglas village. They are selling from a robust €925,000 upwards via Timothy Sullivan Auctioneers.
