Chris de Burgh is selling his Bushy Park mansion for a whopping €12.5million

Singer Chris de Burgh has put his 19th century mansion on the market for a whopping €12.5 million.

The country house is located in Bushy Park, Enniskerry, Co Wicklow and is home to six principal receptions and eight bedrooms.

Chris’s children, including model Rosanna Davison, have all grown up and he said that he no longer needs so much room.

He told the Irish Independent: “There's no financial need. I don't have to sell this place.

"I just think it's too big for two people."

He also spoke of how he thinks that he paid more for it than he is selling it for.

He added: “Maybe as a hard-headed businessman, I should have been a bit more careful. But I wasn't, and we've created something spectacular."

The house was put on the market by David Ashmore of Sotheby's International Realty and is described as: “a delightful late-Georgian period home presented in excellent condition and comprising some 23,158 square feet or 2,102 square metres of accommodation, including a splendid indoor pool complex.

“The gardens are simply delightful and very much a feature of Bushey Park, seamlessly linking the estate to the wider pastoral valley and onward to the Wicklow mountains, framing the varying and numerous scenic views enjoyed throughout.

“Extremely private and secure, a series of internal roadways and pathways meander through the grounds, with large garden terraces gloriously linking the house to the wider grounds.”

The house comes complete with a guest house and a gate lodge and is located just over a mile from Enniskerry Village and 13 miles from Dublin city centre.
