WHILE MANY HOME design and architecture trends come and go, a redbrick exterior remains a timeless classic. Common in Victorian and Edwardian architecture, red brick is still widely used today, a testament to its appeal across generations.
This week we’re looking at four redbrick properties around the country – from a character-filled three-bed in Dublin 8 to a stylish five-bed in Glenageary.
