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.
This house, on the other hand, has its own bar as well as a snooker room, and the converted attic is being used as a gym/music room with an indoor sauna.
To the front of the house, a living room, cloakroom, and a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe are built around a central courtyard reached via a spacious entrance hall.
A family room, a kitchen/diner with separate utility, and a guest WC next to the sun/snooker room run down the left side. Three double bedrooms, a bathroom, and a guest WC are located on the right side of the courtyard. The property has four self-contained studios in the back, each with a bedroom, kitchenette, and bathroom.
You can pedal up to Glencullen Adventure Park, a purpose-built mountain bike park with a variety of riding routes and walkways, in around three minutes. The city center is around an hour’s drive away.
