Dream House

Want to live like royalty? Try this romantic Victorian castle in Dalkey

No matter, because now you too can have a ‘summer retreat’ for a mere €10,500,000. Or you could make it your main residence and jet ski to work every day as the house has its own private harbour with a working winch capable of lifting in a jet ski or small boat. No, really.

Recently restored, the whole mansion benefits from extensive modernisation while retaining most of the features that attracted such luminaries as George VI, King of England, to visit.

There’s a lodge house on the grounds that provides additional independent accommodation – in case you run out of space in the… castle.
