Colour reigns at stylish No 63 in Cois Chuain, Glounthaune

Tommy Barker tots up the quirkily numbered steps to No 63 Cois Chuain, and finds further design delights within.    

Hopes for a move to a Cork city home with quite a bit of style means the family in occupation at 63 Cois Chuain are hoping for a quick sale here: given the style, quality and interior pzzazz of what they propose to leave for a trading adventure, it could, indeed, be a rapid seller.

Cois Chuain, just a few miles east of Cork city at a hillside setting in Glounthaune, is best known for its large two-storey detached quality trade-up homes, done to a high standard by Lanes in the early 2000s. But, the long-established building firm also delivered a smaller number of bungalows in this airy development (and, they rarely come up for re-sale): No 63’s as good an example as you might hope to come across.
