Mansion with options

Built as a mansion home for celebrated architect Sir Thomas Deane, Cork’s suburban Dundanion House is an absolutely immaculate large period house which has had commercial uses for the past half-century.

Now, as it comes to the open market with a €2m price guide, it may continue to impress as a corporate HQ — or could make for an extraordinary private home.

Dating to the 1830s, Dundanion House is on the village end of the Blackrock Road, has 9,200 sq ft of space, on two main levels over lower ground floor rooms, and includes coach-house buildings with good rental income, all on three acres.
