A CONTEMPORARY CLASSIC WITH A GREAT D4 LOCATION
Good design wasn’t exactly a hallmark of housebuilding in the 80s but the six homes that make up Herbert Mews are a notable exception.
This small row of houses tucked off Herbert Road, with their own gated shared private garden at the back, won design awards for architects de Blacam & Meagher.
The homes are now in huge demand because they have become contemporary classics.
A neighbouring property sold last year for €490,000 but it needed a lot of work. Selling agents Lisney believe that there will be demand at the €595,000 price level for this property.
The 104sqm /1119sqft home has two ensuite bedrooms, both of which are double rooms. The landing, with integrated bookshelves, overlooks a central void down to the living room and is lit by a skylight from above.
But it is the ground floor that is particularly interesting thanks to that double-height ceiling. The open-plan area, with central wood-burning stove is infused with light which plays on the geometric, angular shapes created both horizontally and vertically.
The living room has glazed double doors that open onto the patio garden.
The shared garden is behind these houses and is gated. The mews also has offstreet parking.
