Plans to renovate Sean Dunne’s €58m house turned down

Plans to redevelop Ireland’s most expensive house, bought by developer Sean Dunne and his wife Gayle Killilea for €58m in 2005, have been rejected.

Walford, an Edwardian House on an almost two-acre site at 24 Shrewsbury Road, Dublin, was sold last year for €14m to Cyriot-registered Yesreb Holding Ltd, whose owners have not been disclosed.

Those appealing against plans to renovate and extend the house and build four houses in its grounds claim Mr Dunne still has a beneficial interest in the house.
