This unique seven-bedroom house in Goatstown was built in 1798 but redesigned by its current owners in 1993 to create the home of their dreams.

The house is filled with unusual features including curved walls, detailed mosaics, bespoke cabinets and even a secret underground passage that leads from the front gate to the main house.

Along with a master suite that extends over three floors to include a sitting room and a dressing room, the house also includes a wine cellar, home office and a music and games room.

The kitchen was designed by specialist craftspeople and features marble counter tops, a cold room and an industrial-sized fridge.

Many of the original features of the house remain such as the high ceilings and sash windows, but are complemented by unique metalwork.
