This is a small development of 12 one-bedroom own-door apartments and 2 detached two-bedroom accessible houses. They have been carefully located between two existing refurbished and extended blocks of apartments for older people in the walled garden of Rochestown House. The scheme creates a warm, welcoming and beautifully landscaped environment of infinite variety, carefully designed and detailed using good quality materials. The range of typologies available caters for residents with varying degrees of independence. One resident of a wheelchair accessible house remarked: “Even if I had a million euros I wouldn’t change anything”.
