Howth mansion with swimming pool that transforms into a dancefloor hits market for €15m

A stunning Irish mansion that has a swimming pool that transforms into a dancefloor has hit the market for a handsome sum of €15m.

Censure House in Howth once belonged to Jennifer Guinness of the Guinness family and offers breath taking views of the Irish sea and the dramatic coastline of Howth. There is also private access to the cliff walk, one of the most popular walking trails in Ireland.

The house is surrounded by nine acres of private manicured grounds including a gravel drive to the front and a fully enclosed paddock.

The Myhome listing says the property is "suitable for horses or livestock". There is also a sunken garden which “ascends to a stretch of rugged headland with breath-taking scenery.”

As well as the envious swimming pool that transforms into a dancefloor, the house also comes with its very own steam room, sauna and jacuzzi.

Entering the house, you are greeted with a grand reception hall, high ceilings and a gorgeous open plan kitchen-dining area.

The house also features oval staircase, reception rooms, luxury en-suites, drawing room, library, home gym and a massive basement.

The advertisement states that the house was "designed so that the main reception rooms feed off the reception hall and stairwell.

"To the right is a south facing drawing room, floor to ceiling windows and access to the paved terrace providing panoramic sea views across to Bray Head to the south.

“This beautifully decorated room features elegant furnishings in silk, limed oak parquet and walls cloaked in jade sea grass.

"The drawing room opens into the central study / library with bespoke cabinetry, also with a fireplace and doors onto the terrace and sea views beyond."

The property is also comprised of a staff apartment "with a double bedroom, bathroom, open plan kitchen and living space.

"This provides independent accommodation and can be approached from the outside via the staircase from the car garage."
