Worralls End, 72 Thormanby Road, Howth, Co Dublin, D13 KC60, Ireland

Constructed in 1998, Worralls End is a truly exceptional and distinguished four-storey residence designed by Pritzker prize laureates Grafton Architects. It is a landmark building in modern Irish architecture of outstanding style and character, ideally positioned on an elevated site on Thormanby Road-just a short stroll from Howth Village, the harbour, seafront, and all local amenities including shops schools and public transport. From its commanding location, Worralls End offers breathtaking panoramic views across Howth Harbour to Ireland's Eye, Lambay Island, and the dramatic eastern coastline.

Designed with architectural flair, the accommodation is spread across three levels, culminating in a stunning rooftop wooden deck that provides a bird's-eye view over the harbour and open sea.

Ground Level
Entry at street level reveals a charming cobbled driveway and a striking part-cut stone façade.

There is also a large garage with access off the hallway and double hardwood doors to driveway, offering excellent potential for conversion (subject to planning permission).

An external staircase leads to the main reception hall, finished in Portuguese limestone and featuring a handcrafted four-storey staircase. The formal living room impresses with a large corner window (extending over two floors with heat reflective K) offering stunning sea views, an elegant Kota blue limestone fireplace, and access to a mezzanine level via a glass-sided staircase. The living room features solid oak parquet flooring which adds greatly to the character of this impressive room.
