PRIVACY and sea views were important considerations for singer Van Morrison and his wife Michelle when they decided to live in Kilross House on the Sorrento Road, Dalkey, Co Dublin, the High Court heard.

The house, previously owned by businessman Harry Crosbie, was put up for auction in 1996 and the day before the auction, Van and Michelle visited the house but only got access to the garden, Ms Morrison said.
