First up on our list of Donnybrook homes for sale on Daft.ie is 12 Morehampton Road. This gorgeous home epitomises the class and elegance of most Donnybrook homes.

Combining notes of the past with modern motifs, the mixture is very easy on the eye.
Entry to the property is through secure wrought iron gates and into a professionally landscaped garden with room for four cars. A number of reception rooms display the combination of the past and the present, as magnificent fireplaces meet modern technology. This home is perfect for entertaining, with the dining room ideal for dinner parties and boasts lovely period features, including decorative cornicing, coving and a gorgeous marble fireplace.
Split over four levels, the garden level is a self-contained unit, complete with an office. This unit could work well as a guest lodging or as the home to your own business. The garden itself is 27 metres long and is landscaped to perfection.
