Patrick Guinness, an Irish historian and author, is also a direct descendant of Arthur Guinness, the 18th-century brewer whose beer went on to become a symbol of Irish life. The 59 year old heir of the Guinness business dynasty opens the doors of his stunning Georgian country home in Ireland. Located just outside of Dublin in a village, the Furness House has been home to the financial analyst for nearly two decades. The home boasts of extensive restoration and lavish furnishing by Guiness’ wife Louise who is an interior designer. According to Guinness the 1,400-square-meter house has around thirty rooms, including fifteen bedrooms and seven bathrooms. The home is surrounded by 13.5 hectares of land, which features an obelisk, a ruined medieval church, an 800-year-old yew tree and a croquet lawn. Guinness states that heating is probably the most expensive item in the house. He also added that his favorite piece of furniture is a long 1790s table fronted with Gothic-style fretwork placed in the drawing room. Wall Street Journal
