TLC and much more went into city-top beauty

Tommy Barker discovers No 3 Landscape Terrace was furnished magnificently by the late Bernadette Murphy.

IN its long, 180-year history, No 3 Landscape Terrace has seen some remarkable times — but little compares with its last 15 years of minding, and careful, guided transformation.

Previously owned by a nightclub owner (the late Dominic O’Keeffe of Cocos) when it last sold in 1996 it had disco-like, Boogie Night features, with some purple walls and mirror-ball lights. It was bought by the remarkable Bernadette Murphy, (with Irish roots, reared in Australia), who became a property developer and interior designer in Britain, and who redeveloped the property with impeccable taste.
