When Posh and Becks got married in Luttrellstown Castle in 1997, the owner of The Gables recalls the whole area being cordoned off with access only to residents. Despite the hoo-ha, she didn’t catch a single glimpse of the couple.
Victoria Beckham later hung up her Wag attire and became a fashion designer, creating clothing collections as elegant as the proportions of The Gables, a four-bedroom detached house with fine period features. Set on two acres of grounds, the double-fronted Edwardian property has a picket-fence driveway.
The rooms in the front part of the bungalow are well proportioned and have fine period features including picture and dado rails, coving and marble fireplaces. A door leads directly to the garden from the livingroom. The other three rooms here are bedrooms, all with original fireplaces.

To the rear there is a second sittingroom, a bright space with a box bay window overlooking the garden, and a formal diningroom.
This part of the house is considered to be older than the front rooms. While the property has been very well maintained, it has a BER rating of F so it will need some insulation upgrades.
The 1970s kitchen is also in need of modernisation. The kitchen opens onto a south-west-facing sheltered deck.
The fourth bedroom is situated at the very back of the property. The grounds include a vegetable garden in which the owner has planted rhubarb, raspberries, blackcurrants and fruit trees.
There is a grass tennis court, and some beautiful mature trees, including a cherry blossom, a magnolia and two very fine monkey puzzles.
There are outbuildings to the side of the house and a double garage big enough for several cars. The property is situated at the entrance to the five-star Luttrellstown Castle Golf and Country Club.
The house, which measures 206sq m (2216sq ft), has an AMV of €500,000 through joint agents Ganly Walters and JP & M Doyle Terenure.
The auction takes place on Wednesday, May 21st at 3pm at Ganly Walters’ offices in Dublin 4.
