6 Claremount Road, Howth , Co Dublin : Ten years on since it was built, the house is softening into the landscape yet still displays a stunning clarity of vision.Hovering over the water, like an apparition, the Lake House in Howth has quite the story behind it. The owner saw the site listed for auction in The Irish Times in 2011 and bought what was a dilapidated seaside bungalow overlooking a lake on the site of an old limestone quarry.
The front door opens on to a vestibule with a bench. On the left is a bootroom leading to the garage and storage area, a swimmers’ bathroom lies to the left of a door opening on to the dunes and gated access to the beach. On the right are a set of sharply angled stairs leading to the split-level floors above.We’re over 70 and can’t get a loan to improve our new home.
Four bedrooms and four bathrooms are split over two levels on the right of the house; the first level has a guest WC, a utility room and a bedroom with a Jack and Jill bathroom connecting to a livingroom with a stove. A kitchenette here creates a self-contained suite. As the house is cantilevered over the lake, there is stunning light here and in the principal bedroom above, with windows over both sea and lake.
“Living in this house has been an absolute joy”, the owner says, noting she will miss her daily swim and the Zen-like qualities of life here, but is moving abroad to live closer to family. Lake House is now on the market with Sherry FitzGerald Malahide, seeking €3.6 million.We’re over 70 and can’t get a loan to improve our new home. What ever happened to bridging finance?
