What's with the hobbit bath in the bedroom?
"My bathses" 😂
I'd imagine it was just painted white for the sale, it's not new so probably was lived in. A few weeds won't deter buyers in the current market, bit it's a soulless looking house.
I was looking at buying there around 12-14 years ago, they weren't for sale. A handful were sold and Nama owned the rest, but weren't selling.
No idea what the story is now, but I would guess you are right and that it has never been lived in.
That's not an apartment. It's an ensuite bedroom in someone's house FFS.
Very nice house. I wouldn't mind living there.
Love it.
Yeah, the bath tub is weird... like something out of a western when the grisly cowpoke gets his bi yearly a-wash'n.
Euromillions jackpot tonight - It could be you!
I wonder what the management fee is. When they don't mention it, it's probably more than you'd like to pay.
The building and grounds are fantastic. The problem is when people do a modern take on a classic design like this it becomes dated really quickly. Been in many an old Georgian that was modernised and fixed up and it doesn't look well and rarely sympathetic to the buildings construction. Was in one that was done up in the 90s where "no expense was spared" and it all had to be ripped out. They had added paneling in the hall that was actually MDF over modern plaster they added. The place smelled awful and the walls were soaking wet inside. Where they nailed in the panels let the moisture soak into the MDF.
Why would there be a management fee on a house? Isn't that normally the reserve of apartments?
It's in a gated development, it'll have a fee.
Also piles of boomtime estates of just normal houses also have them as councils tries to refuse to do the normal taking in charge stuff and insisted on it in planning - some are slowly being unwound now
Ah right, thanks for the update. It's not a thing down the country where I live.
Its a gated development. a management fee would not be unusual.
Councils are still doing this, our small estate was built 5 years ago, gates were refused but council wouldnt take in charge either so we have a management fee and no gates!
i dont see the decor there as being particulary modern to be fair, i think it suits the house quite well.
It is not what was originally there and while it looks like an old style it is modern especially the colour scheme. You may not be familiar with the original styling but it sticks out like a sore thumb to me. Why would an old Irish house have a shaker kitchen in a modern extension? Give it 10 years and it will look very dated as opposed to looking like the classic building it is. They painted what I assume was the original oak stairs grey😪
it was built in 1877 would you want what was originally there?
Style wise for that house yes. I certainly wouldn't put in a fake old style not native to the country let alone the building kitchen in a modern extension. You can put modern furntire in an old house fine but modern furniture in a style that harks back to another time period that isn't even correct for the building dates badly. Looks nice now but kind of like a hotel that will throw out the style to revamp. That shaker kitchen is already pretty much out of style as is
fair enough
out of curiosity what kind of kitchen would you put in?
It's very nice, tastefully decorated and all that.
But I think it's overpriced and Baldwinstown House is a better buy; the house, the history and the acres of land.
i dont think id buy either to be honest, both are too remote, the castle is lovely, but my in laws have a castle on their property and its a nightmare from a maintenance and public liability perspective.
A full modern kitchen as it is a modern build. The main point is don't put old things together from vastly different period and build and think they go. What it really shows is you don't know your styles and lump old together as one group. It is all personal choice but there is a difference between fashionable and stylish and this is fashionable therefore will date but the building will still be the same structure. Each to their own but money and fashion has destroyed many a building
That is much more like how the house should be decorated but again a bloody shaker kitchen made of MDF.
so some shiny handle less number? personally i think that would look even more incongrous, but as you say its all personal choice.
wha? did you see the headboards and curtains upstairs, most of whats in there would have to go.
€3500 P.A. according to the last sentence on this - https://www.myhome.ie/residential/brochure/9-block-1a-the-casino-malahide-dublin/4591895
Unless they differ for houses.
Can be lower if the terms are done more fairly. No lifts in houses, no common areas to light and maintain.
This seems very cheap for what it is or am i missing something?

Its a lovely part of the country, though off the beaten track a bit, I lived very close to there for a while. Very handy for the mountains, a good tourist area, but not really suited to the idea of three regular lets as it isn't all that close to anywhere. I'd say the price is about right, a bit high if anything, houses are not top price in that area and while it does have 9 bedrooms all the rooms seem to be quite small, pity there is no plan of the house. The grounds and outside areas are very nice.
Just replace the kitchen.
If you can afford a 1.3m house that you like, but are put off by a kitchen you’re very shortsighted.
