The former home of Gabriel Byrne has hit the market at €1.65 million on Herbert Lane in Dublin and has one very unique feature.
According to the sellers, the stunning four-bedroom mews was built in 1889 and is located “on the highly desirable and tranquil” Herbert Lane - accessible off Herbert Street and Mount Street Crescent.
What makes this property so unique is that back in the day it would have been part of a row of stables and carriage houses with living quarters above them where a young ostler would have lived.

Since being converted, the home has been beautifully maintained and is approximately 2,300 sq. ft. with a garage for off-street parking, and a rear garden of approximately 40ft and rooftop terrace that offers modern living space “whilst retaining its period charm.”
The front of the property boasts a stone façade that leads through to a contemporary living space, that is “both light and airy in feel.”
The images online show the ground floor featuring a large entrance hallway with wainscot panelling incorporating the radiators, "your eye is immediately drawn straight through to the wonderful sunny rear garden," the advert on MyHome.ie says.
On the left, there is a door to the garage for off-street parking, two boilers, a utility area, and ample storage.
The fully fitted kitchen features a range of high-quality floor and wall-mounted timber cream-painted units, a 4-ring gas Aga Companion, fitted appliances, and a terracotta stone floor.
A door leads through to the magnificent open-plan living and dining room with timber floors and an attractive marble fireplace with granite surround and coal effect gas fire.
