Whether you want to make additional money by renting out spare rooms or keep them all to yourself, this detached home at the foot of the Dublin Mountains provides plenty of alternatives.
Beechwood House boasts eight bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and the kind of hidden luxuries you’d expect to find in a boutique hotel rather than a family home.
It’s a five-minute canter from one of Ireland’s best-known pubs, Johnnie Fox’s, and set on 2.5 acres of land with beautiful gardens and paddocks.
However, this home has its own bar along with a snooker room, while the converted attic is currently used as a gym/music room with an indoor sauna.
Built around a central courtyard accessed via a wide entrance hall, accommodation includes a living room, cloakroom and a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe to the front of the house.
Running along the left side is a family room, a kitchen/diner with separate utility and a guest WC next to the sun/snooker room. Along the right side of the courtyard are three double bedrooms, a bathroom and a guest WC. To the rear of the house are four self-contained studios, each with a bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom.
In about three minutes, you can pedal up to Glencullen Adventure Park, a purpose-built mountain bike park with a range of cycling trails for all abilities and walkways. It’s about an hour’s drive to the city centre.
