House of the week

HOW many restoration projects for classic modernist houses are there in this country? Very few is the anecdotal answer. As a race we’re still in thrall to the Georgian — Victorian and Edwardian barely cut it — and our modern vernacular is a mash of simple farmhouse and country manor — all neo-Georgian, of course.

So what are the odds for a sympathetic buyer for Croí Dhuibh, at Tory Hill, Mullinavat, Co Kilkenny?

This true, 1960s build is a split-level house which has changed hands about three times in its life so far, with the result that the original architect’s name has been misplaced.
