A FIVE-BEDROOM house for €6.5 million? Not any old five-bed mind – this one in Castleknock is on 25 acres of landscaped garden, a private pitch and putt course, tennis court, indoor swimming pool, gate lodge, massive coach house… oh here, look at the pictures. It’s the closest most of us will get to it…

(The house is owned by the O’Reilly family who own Merlin Motors.) Full specs here on Daft.ie.
