The only problem with all those church conversions (and I quite like that one, it's very "normal" looking), is all the sawn-in-half beautiful stained glass windows.

Makes me twitch.

yeah thats the problem with church conversions, the long narrow windows let very little light in and you can see how dark the house is inside as a result. Maybe you could put a few Velux windows in the roof to help the bedrooms get light but if its a listed building (likely) the outside appearance cannot be changed

Those stairs would freak me out as well, when I'd finished stressing over the half windows.

Can just picture myself coming down them at night, half asleep, to get something and breaking my neck.

Be a nice holiday home though.

Tasteless new money gaff. Sort of place Conor McGregor would buy.

Ive a feeling that was on here years ago...
'Interest in living intentionally'...what does that even mean? Are we all living intentionally? Are they excluding people who were the result of unplanned pregnancies?

That reads like "Must be up for an environmentally friendly (i.e. no condoms) gangbang".

I'd rather sleep in the ditch than listen to those tools over a "mostly veggie" meal while the "fluffeh cat" looks on with scorn and contempt. It's a no from me I'm afraid.

Anybody fancy throwing €415,000 on living in the middle of nowhere in a house that hasn't been redecorated in 50 years?

Is the house sitting on a gold or oil deposit?

Here's Johnny!

The chairs lined up against the wall in one pic look like they were set up for a wake.

Big site, but it would probably be cheaper to knock the house and start from scratch. Does anyone know the area? If it's suitable for redevelopment it might be worth the asking price.

Its hardly middle of nowhere, its about 10 mins to tallaght and is 1.2 acres.
Manor Kilbride is a lovely area as well, but is generally 'local needs' only

Ah yeah, Manor Kilbride is indeed nice, but it's not exactly a 2 minute walk to the local pub or shops.

I thought that too.

The outside looks like it has been uninhabited for quite a while but the inside, despite being quite dated, in particular the TV and the electric cooker, is in good nick.

But yeah, you'd have to sink a lot of money to bring it up to modern spec - windows and insulation alone after gutting the interior would be a lot.

Some of the pictures really look like they might actually be CGI renderings..

Here's one I found ages ago and bookmarked solely for one reason. All looks at least somewhat normal, if a bit of an odd layout for the first batch of photos. Then you get to photo 17....

In fairness that's like a time capsule. The overhead press in the kitchen held up on metal frame was quite common.

The director Yorgas Lanthimos would use that gaff in a movie.

It reminded me of that series "The End Of The Fncking World".

Dermot Bannon would be aroused by that project.

Sounds like you'd have to pass an interview panel to be accepted in.
Anyone want to bang them off a paragraph there and see can we get an interview

With the Wicklow house and I know some might take offence to this but I feel this tis like the room where people sat around the coffin and people came in to shake hands!

Agreed.

Inbuilt presses, rotary phone, colourful decoration.

I get the impression the last owner raised their children there and never bothered redecorating further from what would have been considered modern, if not architectural at the time.

And then the person grew too old to maintain. I hope they had a happy life.

I have most definitely attended a home wake or two in a house with this era of decor.

Ah here, that is just magnificent!!

The National Museum should buy that - authentic down to the CRT telly, and the turquoise plastic bathroom suite. And we had kitchen cupboards propped up on metal piping at home as well

The carpets alone are amazing. Total trip down memory lane!!
