Beautifully Restored Historic Mansion in Dublin, Ireland

Beautifully Restored Historic Mansion in Dublin, Ireland

One of the most exclusive homes on the market in Ireland, Ashurst is located in Killiney, an affluent seaside resort and one of Dublin’s priciest suburbs.

The historic property was built in the middle of the 19th century by architect Charles Lanyon for Sir Compton Domville, a Member of Parliament and local landlord.

The property has had a number of illustrious owners throughout its history, including the Archbishop of Dublin, John Charles McQuaid who lived at the house from 1945. After his death in 1973, the house fell into disrepair.

First restored in the 1990s, the Ashurst has been once again in 2015 by Brazil Associates Architects and Studio Brazil Interiors, updating the home for modern living and remodeling the living spaces.

Formal yet undeniably livable, Ashurst is a family home that lends itself ideally to entertaining.

The 7 bedroom mansion has a lovely family kitchen which opens onto the orangery on one side and a sunny lounge on the other.

The property has maintained a wealth of period details, including inlaid floors, intricate woodwork, and restored sash windows throughout the home.

The mansion is nestled in 4.7 acres of grounds with a gate lodge, mature lawns and walkways, and features lovely terraces and an impressive kitchen garden.

Ashurst is also in close proximity to the local beach, offering private access to Seafield Road with a woodland laneway on the property.
