Fashion designer Collette Dinnigan buys back in Paddington

Fashion designer Collette Dinnigan and her tourism industry entrepreneur husband Bradley Cocks have reportedly bought back in Paddington, buying from her brother, the creative director Seamus Dinnigan.

His Georgian-era cottage had $1.7 million hopes.

Dinnigan and Cocks had been looking for a city base after selling at Watsons Bay and snapping up Springfield Farm, a European-style abode at Avoca in the Southern Highlands.

The cute 1850s Georgian Paddington home of creative director Seamus Dinnigan sold before its recent auction.

There's just 70 square metres space throughout the rare freestanding terrace which came with a $1.6 million to $1.8 million price guide through Will Manning at McGrath. 

It was marketed as a Cotswolds cottage style residence, just off Glenmore Road near Oxford Street.

Dinnigan, the brother of designer, Collette Dinnigan bought the Mary Place home in 2015 for $1.08 million from gallery owner Evan Hughes and his lawyer wife, Kate.

Dinnigan is creative director at Collette Dinnigan's office, as well as helping out on the design styling of his sister's many homes.

He also co-produced her first coffee table book, Obsessive Creative.
