Brian Lenihan's former home is for sale... and Colin Farrell grew up next door
One of the first places Haughey declared he was going for Taoiseach.
IT’S THE FORMER HOME of the Lenihan political dynasty, and the location of a host of pivotal moments – including the time Charles Haughey arrived in his green Jaguar to announce to Brian Lenihan Sr that he intended to replace Jack Lynch as Taoiseach.
In a recent interview with The Irish Times, former minister of state Conor Lenihan revealed that his childhood family home also backed onto Colin Farrell’s. Lenihan remembers his mother shouting at them to get Farrell (then four) down off the wall.
Number 24 Park View, Castleknock, Dublin 15 is for sale for €1.295 million with Sherry FitzGerald via Daft.ie.
The five-bedroom detached home, which was owned by the Lenihan family for 45 years, overlooks Phoenix Park and is only a few minutes from Castleknock Village and Farmleigh House.
The drawing room features a stone fireplace and chimney breast and direct access to the back garden.
The combined kitchen and breakfast room features wooden cabinets, large granite worktops and a window seat overlooking the back garden.
The spacious landing area is made bright by the presence of a skylight, and leads to the upstairs bedrooms.
