PICTURES: Inside Sinéad O'Connor's former Irish seafront home that sold for shy of €1.3m

The former Bray home of Irish music icon Sinéad O'Connor has officially changed hands for its full asking price.

The six-bedroom period property, which was listed with an asking price of €1.295m last December, fetched the full amount according to figures from the Residential Property Price Register.

Montebello, a striking Victorian residence on Strand Road with uninterrupted views across the Irish Sea, was once the creative refuge of the Grammy-winning singer who lived there for 15 years.

Set on Bray's famous mile-long promenade, the 1860s home boasts panoramic views from Bray Head to Dalkey Island, with direct beach access just steps away. At 345 square metres, the home features five elegant reception rooms, a spacious kitchen-diner, six generous bedrooms and four bathrooms.

The property's original joinery, sash windows, shutters, ornate staircase and polished hardwood floors have all been carefully restored. Outside, electric wrought iron gates open onto ample parking, while the west-facing rear garden features Victorian-tiled patios and high stone walls.

The house has been a focal point for fans since O'Connor's passing in July 2023, when thousands lined the seafront as her funeral cortege passed by.
