Hunting for new possibilities at Hunter’s Moon on Rochestown Road

This one-off slice of 1970s architecture has bags of space to rise to its potential, says Tommy Barker.

The fortunes of the Cork suburban home Hunter’s Moon, have waxed and waned over the years since the early 2000s: now, the time could be spot-on for this moon to rise, brightly, again.

Called after the traditional post-harvest, sanguine or ‘blood’ moon usually rising in October in the northern hemisphere, this evocative nomenclature take on the night skies was built as a one-off to an architect’s plan for a trading up family back in the 1970s on a prime quarter-acre site.
