You can now make offers online for this house with its own pub and home gym
The Willows is on the market for €999,950.
THERE ARE HOUSES with impressive gardens, and then there are houses where the garden has its own pub. At The Willows on Hayestown Road in Rush, the latter is just one part of a rather interesting set-up.
Alongside its four-bedroom main house, the property comes with a beautifully maintained garden, dedicated home gym and a separate two-bed annexe, making this a home with considerably more up its sleeve than one might initially think.
Offers by Daft are now live on this property, meaning you can place and track offers in real time, from anywhere. This online platform creates a fair and transparent process so that buyers can make decisions with confidence.
For sale by private treaty through Brant & Co. Property Consultants, this 248 m², spacious, B-rated home is in move-in condition, with three reception rooms giving family life plenty of room to spread out.
On the ground floor, the living and dining areas have been finished with a polished, almost hotel-like feel. A further reception room could easily become a cinema room, playroom or home office, while another sitting room, warmed by a wood-burning stove, opens directly onto the garden through double doors.
At its centre is a generous open-plan kitchen, where a large island provides a natural gathering point for everything from hurried weekday breakfasts to drinks with friends. There’s no shortage of storage and modern appliances are integrated into the scheme. A separate utility room keeps the practical side of family life neatly out of sight.
Upstairs are four well-proportioned double bedrooms, all bright and fitted with built-in wardrobes. The main bedroom has its own en suite bathroom, while the remaining rooms are served by a spacious tiled family bathroom.
It is outside, however, that The Willows really ramps things up.
The landscaped back garden has been designed as much for entertaining as for enjoying a quiet afternoon in the sun. Lawns, mature planting and established trees create a private backdrop, while a substantial garden building provides a fully equipped gym, which is a particularly useful addition for anyone who would rather skip the commute to a studio.
Adding another dimension is a self-contained two-bedroom annexe. Set within the grounds but separate from the main house, it offers its own living accommodation and bathroom, making it particularly useful for extended family, older children or guests who would appreciate a little independence.
Then there is the pub. With its rustic styling and solid timber bar, the Irish-inspired garden watering hole turns the grounds into a ready-made venue for summer parties, family celebrations or an evening drink without having to worry about last orders.
For all its space and extras, The Willows is not tucked away in the countryside. Rush is a lively North County Dublin seaside town with shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and schools close at hand, while neighbouring Skerries, Lusk and Swords broaden the choice of amenities.
Transport connections are another advantage, with train and bus services available locally and the M1 approximately 15 minutes away by car.
For buyers looking for a conventional four-bed family home, The Willows comfortably ticks the boxes. For those who also fancy a gym, independent guest space and their own private pub at the bottom of the garden, it offers something altogether more unique.
