Description
Ashbrook House is a truly exceptional period residence occupying approximately 1.5 acres in one of North Dublin most distinctive settings. Extending to approximately 9,000 sq ft, this impressive historic home combines remarkable scale, architectural significance and private landscaped grounds, while retaining a wealth of beautifully preserved period features. Protected for its historically important architecture, Ashbrook offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful Dublin residence with the space, presence and provenance associated with some of the city's finest country houses.
Approached via a sweeping driveway and surrounded by mature, beautifully maintained gardens, Ashbrook House provides an exceptional sense of arrival and privacy. The accommodation extends to eight bedrooms and ten reception rooms, offering extraordinary flexibility for family living, entertaining and guest accommodation. The house is in relatively good decorative order but would benefit from modernisation throughout, presenting an exciting opportunity to sensitively update the interiors while preserving the architectural integrity and period character that make the property so special.
Ideally positioned between the Navan Road and River Road, Ashbrook combines the tranquility of a private historic estate with excellent connectivity to the capital. Ashtown Railway Station is within a short walk, with nearby bus services providing convenient access to Dublin city centre, approximately 9km away. The M50 and N3 are only minutes by car, while Dublin Airport is approximately 20 minutes away. For any discerning purchaser either domestic or international seeking an exceptional Dublin base, Ashbrook House presents a compelling combination of heritage, privacy and accessibility — a substantial historic residence within easy reach of the city, yet with the rare atmosphere of a private country estate.
