Who'd live in a house like this? Part 2

that converted church is terrible. the first floor is halfway up the window.

Floorboards are gorgeous though

There is a beautiful church for sale at Quivvy…. I must stop looking at these places! Bad enough I love rightmove..

flazio · 04-12-2020 6:53pm

Well, you wouldn't want to believe in spirits and ghosts living in a place like that. Imagine how many funerals took place there. And what would your staunch Catholic granny say if you brought somebody back to the place and tried to perform an immaculate conception outside of wedlock. Shocking I tell you.

Probably why most former convents and churches are getting turned into libraries around my parts.

Part of me thinks that is pretty cool. Another part of me thinks, you just know the missus will walk in when you've just finished making food and left it on that part of the counter and it's gonna end up all over the kitchen.

The sad thing about that home is it's been kept in an immaculate condition, but I'd want to rip out everything from the ceilings to the floors.

I'd keep the rose chairs in the conservatory though. They are beautiful

Those chairs are very pretty.

The chairs in the dining room are missing their "door knockers"!

(I'm in a group on Facebook called "Hunbelieveable" lots of dodgy decor in there and this house would fit right in!)

Amazing how a house can be both beautiful and horrible at the same time!

If it's the one I'm thinking of (ex CoI?) then it was owned by one of Dead Can Dance: a suitable place for their ethereal type of music and was a recording studio for years.

I'm not so sure, one photo shows the electrical consumer unit to be totally burnt out, the only site of real fire damage. The rest of the property has heat and smoke damage.
The green mould looks unrelated.

Thought at first glance the outside boiler had been on fire to. There's a lot of smoke damage around it but nothing around it seems to have been burnt. The owner certainly didn't want the bank to be able to get any value out of it.

The green mold is probably just a leaky roof alright.

It wouldn't take the mind of a master criminal to figure out that might be a good place to start a deliberate fire in all fairness.

tara73 · 22-12-2020 9:37am

will this sh** be sold for 75.000? Honest question, don't have a clue about the situation at the moment. It's in the middle of nowhere, you actually pay for the site, having demolition costs on top of it as I don't think this building is sustainable.
It's actually the price for a site with permission to (newly) build on.

The free weekly yoga lesson to sweeten the deal made me laugh though

Rents are at a ridiculous level and still rising, they really need to drop rapidly, as there is absolutely no value whatsoever in the rental market.

Even it this rental was in 'actual' Killieny, say a quiet area like Ballinclea Heights, it still wouldn't be worth €1,250 for what's essentially a shoebox room with a tiny spiral staircase upto another shoebox room. The fact that it's tacked onto a former council house in Ballybrack is taking the piss. It looks like a halfway house that someone just out of prison would be put into and charged €75 or whatever per week HAP for. Absolute joke!

I would've assumed that there had to be some kind of regulation on the size of a sleeping area (like height to ceiling) but if Sherry Fitzgerald are letting it, I'm sure they've done their homework (although I have let from 'reputable' estate agents in the past (not Sherry Fitz) and they definitely bent the rules if they thought they could get away with it).

The words 'reputable' and 'estate agent' should never been used in the same sentence. They're on par with used car salesmen for trustworthiness and blatant price gouging.

But seriously, how can anyone over 5 foot 5 stand in this......eh bedroom?
