CO DUBLIN: €2.45M:Handsome period home with modern comforts
GOSWORTH HOUSE, a large light-filled four-bedroom semi-detached period house in walk-in condition on the corner of Castlepark Road and Gosworth Park in Dalkey, Co Dublin, is, say its owners, a great party house.
They’ve enjoyed living there for the past seven years, during which time they have renovated and redecorated the property, built in 1890. Now they are off to Bahrain for a few years, so their house is for sale for €2.45 million through Sherry FitzGerald.
The 317sq m (3,412sq ft) home has the high ceilings and period details – ceiling coving, marble fireplaces and so on – of its era. And it has been furnished in keeping with that time: e.g., a table seats 10 in the striking red diningroom, and a huge 9ft-high mirror hangs on the stairs landing, reflecting light from a large pitched atrium.
But modern features include new wooden sash windows, a family bathroom with underfloor heating and a large eat-in kitchen with a granite-topped island and countertops.
Accommodation includes three reception rooms downstairs, a big conservatory opening onto the landscaped garden and four large double bedrooms, the main one en suite. Like most of the house, they are decorated in tasteful cream shades – except for a girl’s princess pink bedroom. There is plenty of parking at the front.
