Dormer is one of a kind in an oasis of suburban calm

THERE’S a timeless aesthetic to certain houses which you know will appeal to a lot of viewers.

It’s not about the quality of the various bits and pieces and not necessarily about the house itself — it’s how it’s put together and how it feels.

No 6 The View is just such a house, a warm appealing family home that justifies the brochure’s praise. Built about 10 years ago, it’s a 2,200 square foot detached dormer at the very beginning of the Broadale estate on Maryborough Hill, Cork.
