THE TWINKLING OF ivory keys, the sound of a beautifully sung melody, or the clatter of live drums. A home full of music is a home full of life, whether you have an old piano tucked in the corner of your living room or a fully soundproofed studio loaded with instruments.
If you’re a music-obsessive who would love a home that reflects your interests, it could be worth seeking out a property with a piano room or music studio included. This week, we’ve done just that, with four homes around Ireland that fit the bill.
Take a look…
Fancy becoming the next owner of a property that has hosted the likes of Jack B Yeats, George Bernard Shaw and even Bing Crosby’s musically-inclined nephew? Grove House is currently on the market, with six bedrooms and 126 years of stories inside its walls. The property is currently in use as a family home but in previous years has been a guest house, a venue and a restaurant.
Situated on Schull’s Colla Rd, the property has panoramic harbour views, and inside is just as beautiful as out, with plenty of original period features including a mahogany staircase, stained glass windows, pitch pine floors, cornicing and ceiling roses. For entertaining there are two kitchens, a piano room, and a guest apartment to the rear.
Located just a few short minutes from Galway city centre, ‘Aillebrack’ is a light-filled haven featuring some truly innovative design concepts. Architect Sean Dockery clearly created this six-bedroom property with family living in mind, with plenty of green space and 3,714 sq ft of floor area.
Downstairs, is a kitchen and dining area opening onto a large back patio, plus a sitting room. One wing leads to the music studio, a spacious master bedroom and en-suite bathroom, and an additional double bedroom. A second wing houses the third bedroom and a large living room, while upstairs are an office, three more generous bedrooms and a family bathroom.
There’s certainly no shortage of space in this three-bedroom semi-detached home on the south-west outskirts of Dublin city. The property covers 1,378 sq ft of floor space, plus large gardens to the rear, side and front. Previous owners have extended the house to add two more reception rooms, and there’s definitely room for further rear expansion.
Inside is a bright living room, a wood-panelled kitchen and dining room, a piano room, an office/bedroom, a gym room overlooking the gardens and a covered fish pond room. On the first floor are two more bedrooms and a family bathroom, plus extensive storage throughout.
Built in 1750, this sprawling Georgian residence is known as ‘World’s End House- – and it definitely lives up to its name. Situated on a secluded stretch of land overlooking the River Shannon, the property is surrounded by acres of forest, as well as its own manicured mature gardens.
Downstairs includes a formal dining room, a professional Gaggenau fitted kitchen, a music room with bay windows and a drawing room, plus a home gym, media centre, wet-room and steam room and the master bedroom suite. Upstairs are four more generous bedrooms.
