1930s Arts and Crafts-Style Mansion in South Dublin, Ireland

1930s Arts and Crafts-Style Mansion in South Dublin, Ireland

One of the finest family homes in Glenageary, Rathbarry was built in the 1930s by notable Irish architect Michael Scott for Desmond Egan, a wine merchant and amateur film-maker whose documentary shorts are in the Irish Film Institute archive.

Set on an acre of walled gardens, the period house offers total privacy, set at the end of a wide gravel road boarded by mature trees.

Inside, the 2949 square foot home has been beautifully maintained by its current owner for the last 40 years.

The 5 bedroom home has several light-filled reception rooms, and opens out onto a lovely back terrace with beautifully landscaped grounds.
