Seven-bedroom splendour in Goatstown - with a secret underground passage
Almost a square kilometre in size and bursting with style and colour.
This unique seven-bedroom house in Goatstown was built in 1798 but redesigned by its current owners in 1993 to create the home of their dreams.
The house is filled with unusual features including curved walls, detailed mosaics, bespoke cabinets and even a secret underground passage that leads from the front gate to the main house.
Along with a master suite that extends over three floors to include a sitting room and a dressing room, the house also includes a wine cellar, home office and a music and games room.
The kitchen was designed by specialist craftspeople and features marble counter tops, a cold room and an industrial-sized fridge.
Many of the original features of the house remain such as the high ceilings and sash windows, but are complemented by unique metalwork.
In total, the house has seven bedrooms and six reception rooms, while outside the grand period house is surrounded by electric gates and an array of plants and shrubbery that are brought to life at night with feature lighting.
The grand period house also contains a Bang & Olufsen surround sound system, and smart home technology throughout.
Harlech House, Harlech Downs, Goatstown, Dublin 14 is on sale for €2.25 million from Savills via Daft.ie.
