Unexpected views a bonus in this suburban semi-d

UNEXPECTED views come with 19 Park Hill — the end of this suburban semi-d’s garden looks out over Douglas estuary, Mahon Golf Club, the south ring road and Rochestown. And, sensibly the owners, who are moving on with a growing family, built a feature pergola at the gardens’ end from which to enjoy water views.

It is just beyond the roundabout at the top of the Well Road, beyond where four superlative homes have been built by a private developer in the grounds of the finally reinstated and superbly restored period Ravenscourt House.
