Description
Seamount House Perched at the summit of Seamount Hill, Seamount House is a truly remarkable detached residence that combines rich historical heritage with timeless architectural beauty. Set within approximately 1.78 H/A (4.4 acres) of mature, landscaped grounds, this impressive home dates back to circa 1816, originally conceived as a summer retreat for the prominent Talbot de Malahide Estate. Its elegant Neo-Elizabethan design and commanding presence reflect its prestigious origins. From the 1890s to the 1940s, it was home to the illustrious Jameson family, and the property underwent a significant rebuild in 1905, preserving its grand character while incorporating the finest craftsmanship of its time.Designed to be both a luxurious haven and a prestigious residence, Seamount House embodies the grace and refinement of a bygone era. The three-storey, seven-bay façade speaks to a time when architecture was expressive and bold, with every detail carefully considered. The residence was crafted not merely as a home, but as a refined destination—a place of comfort and distinction overlooking the coastline.
An Elevated Setting with Breathtaking Views
Accessed via secure electronic entrance gates and a meandering private driveway, the property sits high above the surrounding landscape, offering an extraordinary level of privacy and seclusion. The grounds are meticulously maintained, featuring sweeping lawns, mature trees, and sheltered gardens. Pedestrian access from the estate leads directly to Sea park Hill and the picturesque shoreline below, placing nature and coastal serenity right at your doorstep.Panoramic vistas unfold from nearly every corner of the estate, offering dramatic views to the south across Dublin Bay and the city skyline toward the Sugar Loaf Mountains. To the east, the view extends along the scenic Malahide coastline, while to the west, one can glimpse Dublin Airport and the expansive rural hinterlands. The grounds also include a substantial original stone outbuilding, a gravelled courtyard, and a charming arched entrance to the rear, enhancing both the aesthetic and functional value of the estate.
A Home of Character and Comfort
On entering Seamount House, visitors are immediately struck by its sense of grandeur and refined elegance. The home has been lovingly preserved and sympathetically maintained by its current owners, ensuring that the spirit of its historical origins remains intact. Many original period features have been retained, including ornate cornicing, timber panelling, intricate fireplaces, and sash windows, creating a living environment that is rich in detail and history.The interiors are characterised by high ceilings, light-filled spaces, and an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality. A generous reception hall sets the tone for the rest of the house, leading into five substantial reception rooms on the ground floor—each offering spectacular views southward over the city and bay. These formal and informal spaces provide ample room for both entertaining and family life. A charming breakfast room connects to a well-appointed kitchen, and further accommodation includes a private study, guest WC, washroom, utility room, and a walk-in freezer room. Just off the kitchen lies a secluded courtyard—an ideal retreat for outdoor dining or morning coffee.
Elegant Private Quarters with Unrivalled Views
An original staircase with carved balustrade leads to the first floor, where a stunning stained-glass window—featuring the Jameson family crest—floods the landing with coloured light. This level hosts five generous bedrooms, including the principal suite, which boasts a bay window that frames sweeping views across the coastline. A recently installed, modern shower room adds contemporary comfort to the historic setting, while an additional WC completes the floor. The rear staircase provides discrete access to the upper level.The second floor, once the staff quarters, is now thoughtfully repurposed for modern living. A large open plan landing currently functions as a home gym, with four additional bedrooms, a separate shower room, and attic storage completing the accommodation. This floor offers flexible space that can easily adapt to a variety of lifestyle needs—be it for guests, family, hobbies, or home working.
