Stunning Kildare mansion that Bob Dylan turned his nose up at comes on the market once again for €2.4M

The house that formerly belonged to a descendant of Arthur Guinness is back on the market once again, and if previous sales are anything to go by, there could be plenty of famous faces eyeing the property up.

Furness, a nine-bedroom house that boasts a second guesthouse with six bedrooms, is up for sale once again, and the asking price is significantly lower than what it was previously sold for. The property was on the market for €3 million in 2013, but it now has a guide price of €2.4 million.

The Georgian mansion comes equipped with a 36-acre site, and the grounds around the property are very impressive. A stableyard is another notable feature of the Naas estate, while it is also said that Ireland's oldest yew tree- which is around 800 years old- is on the grounds.

Furness boasts well-proportioned and elegant receptionrooms that have retained their extensive period features. These include excellent ceiling heights, ornate cornicing, open period fireplaces, original wooden flooring and shuttered sash windows. This creates a very manageable family home and boutique estate in a magnificent parkland setting surrounded by numerous specimen trees. Like many Georgian villas, Furness is a wonderful house for entertaining on a grand scale with the floor plan flowing effortlessly throughout. Of particular note are both the drawing and dining rooms with spectacular views of the gardens and surrounding landscape.

It was said that Bob Dylan considered buying the house in the 90s, but he was highly unimpressed with the standard of the building and declined the chance to buy. The house has required remedial work to be carried out by previous owners, but there is a certain charm to the Georgian feel inside the property that is sure to appeal to someone with a large wedge of money to spend on a new home.
