Property at race-inspired paddocks is way out in front

Inside and out, the Paddocks is a winning family home, says Tommy Barker.

THERE’s no flash or bling with this plush and premium Paddocks offering. Rather, at No 17 The Paddocks there’s the feel of quality and the evidence of careful spending and specifying, from the inside to the outside.

When The Paddocks — which is off Cork’s Maryborough Hill in Douglas — was launched back in the early 1990s, it created a stir, and its several representative show houses practically had their carpeted steps worn out by dint of heavy foot-traffic from the curious, the envious and the upwardly mobile.
