Well hopefully not...!!
JK 😁
Fabulous location. I'd love it, but €160k is too much for it.
It's very near that crazy ruined hotel. Plenty to do, plenty of lock ins and late serving.
Old Horizons, 16 Casana View, Howth, Dublin 13 is for sale on Daft.ie
Was that not the one on Room to Improve where they well overspent because the husband grew up the road and they wanted to stay there?
It certainly looks like the one. Doesn't even look lived in!
I thought they had a wall of grey presses running down the hallway. Looks very similar.
I also think the other one backed onto the filed, could be wrong.
Why on earth would they even take (and publish) that photo?
Speaking of photo's.... What is the story with the mad lens they all use, and used to death in this house. Did a salesman go around telling them all it's a fantastic tool, or did they all just tell each other "oh boy, wait until you see what I have in my arsenal. It makes selling houses a cinch!"
But not one of them ever learned how to use it properly. Every house has gigantic doors, or crazy wide windows, long tables etc.
I can only hope that the EA took the pic as a reminder of something that needed to be cleaned up and accidentally uploaded it with all the other pics. It's not as if there isn't another pic of the kitchen - from the inside.
Agreed, that's one of the prettiest harbours I know of. The whole area is a bit (a lot) bungalow blitz, but the scenery is fabulous.
Is the hotel not being done up? I thought I'd heard somewhere that it was.....
ETA - I knew I'd read about plans..... I wonder if they were ever submitted?
Did the kitchen on the show not have a wall of windows to the outside? It certainly looks very similar.
if it was in the show it would have been in the ad
No. That house is 40m from 16 Casana View. This house has been empty on and off for many years. It was sold and a developer bought it. It's shoe horned into the site.
No, I meant this pleace here; Ostan Gweedore. https://www.google.com/maps/@55.0676322,-8.3083765,3a,60y,345.06h,90.37t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sThRRi1eTETbAAY6i8d5RFg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
Christ, that looks like the set of a post-apocalyptic horror movie!
Ah jeepers, that's very sad looking 😥
Yeah that's the one I meant as well, the two were bought by the same crowd - Óstán Gweedore is mentioned down the article a bit. I was at it a couple of years ago, but not inside - the apartments beside it are an awful sad sight as well.
OR, the EA intentionally put it online as a nod to some unspoken issue! 😂
Is that not a pile of dead wasps. Could be a powder or similar down if there was a nest in the kitchen. Just spread powder near the sink and leave to for a couple of weeks.
Bizarre that it's in the ad alright. Not doing the estate agent any favours.
That’s an incredible deterioration in just 4 years. Our climate I guess turbocharges the takeover of abandoned structures by nature. Thanks for posting
do you know what is going to be done with it?
The local wildlife engaged in some serious vandalism too I see.
The plans for the two are in the article I posted above.
It said 4 years in the link but it was closed a lot longer than that, think 2011 or so. I was at a wedding there in 2008
I quite like this even though it's a bit remote. I feel like the photography is terrible and doesn't do it justice, but it looks like a nice between the old and new.
It looks like the old cottage part of it may have been lovingly restored with concrete render, which does not bode well for damp and blistered walls. Its also BER E2 which reinforces that possibility.
Bannister made entirely of glass with no handrail. Form over function.
Like the outdoor kitchen, but when will people realise that fake grass looks terrible?
I like the glass bannister - I assume it's toughened or laminated glass, whatever building regs. require, and I can't think of any practical disadvantages over using another material or style.
Why bother putting a handrail on it if you don't need one? You can always use the top of the glass if you really need to.
I realise that not everyone has an elderly or infirm person in the household, but that handrail-less glass edge would be worse than useless if you did have someone in that state. Even a very pregnant person or someone with a damaged ankle, say, needs support going up and down stairs. You could not haul yourself on it, and if you made a grab at it, regardless of how reinforced or strengthened it is, chances are your hand would slip.
Concrete and PVC, I don't share the estate agent's "lovingly restored" opinion either.
Not a fan of the extension either, cramped bathroom and bland kitchen. There was a chance there to lime plaster the original cottage and install proper sash windows. The tiled floor is also an abomination.
Is the attic room with the navy ceiling and what looks like a basketball hoop a bedroom? The only picture of the room included!
Leads to constantly cleaning smudges on it. PITA from experience as once to see one smudge you see them all.
A small metal handrail on top would stop a lot of it. Make it from brushed metal and it works.
How has fake grass become so popular? It's looks awful and will all end up in landfill. It should be banned for domestic use, there's enough unavoidable plastic in houses as it is.
