City apartments in two converted redbricks

Several apartments of the estate of the late developer Liam Maye are coming to market. Northumberland Court is a complex of 12 apartments housed in two period properties that are over basement and box-bay fronted. The conversion was done in the 1990s.

Maye was a former shareholder in Castlethorn which developed Dundrum Town Centre. The apartments are a stone’s throw from the Grand Canal and within a short walk of Baggot Street, Ballsbridge and Hanover Quay.

The most stately of the three is the two-bedroom apartment at hall level.

Asking €500,000 and measuring 85sq m (915sq ft) the property is housed within the large box bay window and fronts on to the sylvan street.

The room has an open fireplace and two entrances, via the granite steps to the front or from the rear.

Its two bedrooms and bathrooms are to the back of the building. Above it is a four-bedroom apartment with a similar layout. Instead of a box bay window the open plan living/ diningroom has a trio of sash windows. On the first floor is a four-bed apartment 81sq m (872sq ft) asking €690,000.

The one-bedroom apartment is at garden level and measures 45sq m (484sq ft). The properties are in good condition but have low Ber ratings: the one-bed has an F rating; the two-bed is rated C3 and the four-bed has a D2 Ber. The sale is being handled by Grant Thornton.

The properties are being sold as furnished through agents Colliers International.

To the rear of the apartments there are six two-bedroom townhouses. One of these is also for sale. Measuring about 122sq m (1313sq feet).

Each has its own car parking space and the property is asking €525,000.
