Malahide: The last big house at Abington, Malahide's millionaire estate off Swords Road, is for sale with Gunne's Fairview office, quoting €2.7 million.

A Parkway development, Abington has acquired celebrity status for its opulent finish and high-profile residents.

This is one of the showhouses, furnished and fitted out with panache by London designers TMH, so a buyer could be in residence within a few weeks.

The selling price of this house type was €2.35 million when the development first launched.

Furnishings, valued at around €400,000, include a grand piano, two televisions (one a plasma screen) and a full range of Neff and Gaggenau appliances. One of the bedrooms is fitted out as a gym.

The French manor-style house is three-storey with roof windows. Pale cream brickwork has granite stone detail and the natural slate roof has curved eaves. Because the house has been built for a year and a half, the landscaped gardens are mature, with trees, flowering shrubs, a fountain and sweep of lawn.

The main livingrooms are arranged to take advantage of this, with French doors opening from the sittingroom, diningroom, breakfastroom and conservatory.

Oak and marble floors, Villeroy & Boch bathroom ware, Georgian-style sash windows and solid mahogany doors are just some of the interior features to impress.

A family living area near the kitchen includes a television room, breakfastroom and a day room.

On the first floor, all four bedrooms have very smart en suite bathrooms, with a dressingroom off the main bedroom.

Two further bedrooms on the top floor - one currently a gymnasium - also have en suite bathrooms.

Outside, a brick double garage is off the front courtyard and each house has its own electronic security gates.
