De Bret House is one of 10 apartment blocks built circa 2005 on the grounds of Loreto Abbey - a protected structure. The original house (Rathfarnham House) was built in 1725 by Mr. Pallister. It is believed that Thomas Moore wrote his famous poem 'Oft in the Stilly Night' on these grounds. The gardens still retain some of this peacefulness which inspired the famous poet.Between 1822 and 1999 it hosted a girls school, named Loreto Abbey, run by the nuns. These included the Nobel Peace Prize winner, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who entered the convent in 1928, as an 18 year old, to learn English.
Loreto Abbey is located a short walk from Rathfarnham Village - convenient to Nutgrove Shopping Centre and Dundrum Town Centre. It is an easy 10 minute walk from St. Enda's Park, 20 mins from Bushy Park and 25 mins from Marlay Park.
Early viewing is highly recommended.
