4 of a kind: Homes with redbrick exteriors and lots of kerb appeal
From a character-filled three-bed in Dublin 8 to a stylish five-bed in Glenageary.
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.
