New homes: open-plan mews in Rathmines Le Bas Mews project consists of four new two-storey, two/three-bed mews houses. Erin McGuire
A new development of four contemporary houses in Rathmines offers tranquillity within easy reach of Dublin city centre. The Le Bas Mews project consists of four new two-storey, two- to three-bed mews houses. The houses are phase two of Golden Horde Developments’ Effra Road project, the first phase of which was launched last November and consisted of three houses. The Le Bas Mews homes have an air of exclusivity, with a private, gated entrance in the heart of residential Rathmines. A restored stone boundary wall keeps the homes peaceful and secure, while a video intercom system allows for visitor access. The four houses, designed by OMF Architects, are identical at 100sq m (1,076sq ft). They are priced at ₏595,000. The houses are done to a contemporary design, with sand-coloured brick exteriors and sheltered carports to the front.
