Once a crumbling 3,500 sq ft maze of bedsits with a bohemian history, this Monkstown Square house has been transformed into a warm, antique-filled family home

On a leafy square in Monkstown, just steps from the sea, rows of handsome Victorian houses frame the perfect park, their tall sash windows and coloured front doors defining the square’s smart symmetry.
At one corner, however, is a particular treasure: a 3,500 sq ft late Georgian-to-early-Victorian ‘pile’ that was once a jumble of flats.
