VIDEO: Modern take on an old classic at  Monkstown

This new-build inspired by a former lodge on the site has some very unlodge-like features, writes Tommy Barker.

The original period Monkstown house Parkgarriff burned down in the 1950s, but its name is still recalled at the subsequent replacement building on its once great estate grounds: it’s now Monkstown Golf Club’s clubhouse.

And, the name ‘Parkgarriff’ crops up again here at Parkgarriff Lodge, which comes to market this month. It too is a modern structure, difficult at first glance to accurately date, but it was built only in the last decade or so.
