This house belonged to Daniel O'Donnell at one time.
He sold it in 2007.

Sums up this thread perfectly.

A lot of money spent and yet not worth half it.

Very difficult to **** it up given the beauty of the location. A big lump of symmetry and shiny materials. Whoever is responsible should be embarassed.

No attempt made to integrate the house with the surroundings. Very much overlooking the landscape and not part of it.

I don't even want to imagine how bad the acoustics are, fairly cold too I'd imagine.

It looks fine to me. Inside I’d make it less open plan, perhaps, and a bit of a refurb.

So its just a kids pool really, nice to have but they'll grow out of it. I suppose you could retrofit a jet unit to make it into an endless swimming pool. Lots of Olympic level swimmers built small 3m long pools in their back gardens when pools closed during lockdown and then added a jet unit so they could keep up their practice. I was going to do it myself but then thought I wasnt that bothered about entering the Olympics so I watched Tiger King instead

So for years we were told the country needed 50m pools because Olympic swimmers couldn’t train in 25m pool. But now they can train in a glorified jacuzzi in their back garden?

Is the swimming pool an endless one, it might be but its hard to tell from the photo. If its not an endless pool then at only 6m long you would push off, do two breast strokes and have to turn around again which is pretty pointless.

I think they tie a rope around their waist that is 1m that keeps you 1m away from the other end of the pool.

Regarding the swimming pool wasn’t there an episode of Room tin improve and the clients put in this sort of big Hydro Pool and you could use it swim against a type of current or something but it wasn’t as big as a swimming pool.

The pool doesn't seem to have the jet unit for creating the current to swim against. And it's 6m long, which as you say is too short for doing proper swimming, but longer than most endless pools.

Muahahaha

Guessing it's the swimming pool shower? Still weird!

Do they have 4 ovens too?!

There's a glass door from the sitting room into the shower too for some reason.

God... When looking through the first few pictures of that all I was thinking was the fake tan brigade would be all but invisible there, their tangerine tans would blend in perfectly with the lighting, especially the cinema and games rooms.

looksee

Look at the length of the wall in pic 15 (with the bookcases against it) compared with the same wall in pic 16. These deceptive estate agents pics will hopefully go out of fashion as people learn how to read them.

The kitchen is gorgeous (as in the units themselves). Not so gone on other bits in the house.

Mostly looks very nice BUT... is that a frosted glass window between the home bar and the weirdly elongated shower enclosure? :eek:

Nice enough furniture and then you have a home made bar made from a couple of pallets that looks like someone in Transition Year built it.

That pool shower room looks dirty, especially with the cleaning products up against the glass wall. I assume they did that to let in some light but it looks poxy and is a bad design.

What's the white thing in the right hand corner corner against the glass?

Interesting house in Cork posted on the Journal property magazine - https://www.daft.ie/for-sale/detached-house-6-the-hermitage-sallybrook-glanmire-co-cork/3167693

Mostly looks very nice BUT... is that a frosted glass window between the home bar and the weirdly elongated shower enclosure? :eek:

Check out the wall on the left with all the bottles on shelves:
