Description
Rarely does a property of such charm and provenance come to the market in the heart of Malahide. Number 6 Castle Terrace is an elegant three-story Victorian home, dating from circa 1850, which combines period grace with modern family comfort. It is also being offered with the benefit of Planning Permission for a detached Mews style residence to rear Planning Ref F25A/0437E ( ACP-323246-25 ).
Steeped in history, this distinguished residence was once the home of Captain Paddy Saul, the renowned Irish aviator and navigator of the pioneering first east-to-west transatlantic flight. Today, it offers the opportunity to acquire a home of genuine character in one of the village's most desirable addresses.
Behind its striking façade, the accommodation extends over three levels, filled with light and period detail. The welcoming reception hall sets the tone, with a feature staircase and decorative panelling. To the front, the elegant dining room with original fireplace opens to a spacious living room with wood-burning stove and French doors to the garden. A contemporary kitchen lies to the rear, complete with skylight, bespoke cabinetry and garden views.
Upstairs, the principal suite enjoys double windows and extensive wardrobes, while the second bedroom benefits from its own ensuite. A stylish family bathroom completes the first floor. The top level provides three further versatile rooms perfect as bedrooms, a home office or creative studio.
Outside, the gardens are a sanctuary. The front garden is framed by wrought-iron railings, while the rear unfolds across several distinct spaces a charming stone-walled courtyard, a lawned garden with mature planting, and a private gravel courtyard with Seomra-style timber outhouse, ideal as a home office, studio or gym. Vehicle access to the rear ensures secure off-street parking a rare bonus in this central location.
While currently a private residence, the property's prime village setting within a terrace that also accommodates commercial units offers excellent potential for a change of use, subject to planning permission.
With Malahide's award-winning restaurants, boutiques, schools and DART station literally on the doorstep, this is a home that combines history, convenience and lifestyle.
