Lee valley views

IT has a stunning location overlooking the Lee Valley at Ovens, so it’s no wonder that the name of this house, Magh Aoibhinn, means ‘pleasant plains’.

A remodelled house, (the original had a flat roof, 1960s design), it now has three storeys thanks to a new dormer roof and a total internal space of 4,500 square feet.

And the modernist look has gone distinctly backwards in a house that’s stuffed with old and antique furniture and finished with a lot of dipped and stripped pine.
