A chance to build your dream house

A SITE for a large 3,000 sq ft one-off house, with planning already in place, has come up just along Cork’s Rochestown Road.

The site of a quarter acre is tucked in off the busy road facing Clarke’s Hill, and has been put up for sale by its architect owner, who has already build a dramatic contemporary home called The Courtyard, just closer to the Rochestown Road.

The Courtyard itself, a superbly striking contemporary house also averaging around 3,000 sq ft, was on the market earlier this year seeking €1.6 million, on a compact site of 0.12 of an acre. It has since been taken off the market, and is occupied as a family home by the architect owner himself.
