Is that actually a jacks? You'd be literally having a sh1t in the bedroom. De dorteh bashterds
Would kill the mood on a romantic night in...smell of a recently dropped log wafting gently in the air ...
And the sound effects resonating around the room.🤢😬
why settle for a scented candle...?
Ugh..🤢
How hard would it have been to have continued the sides of the sink as a couple of partition walls up to the ceiling. Then add a sliding door?
I can't imagine that they ran out of money to do that, that would drive me nuts.
Always wonder at this line of thinking after seeing all the amounts of rain and wind you get in the other parts of the North Atlantic countries who predominantly use wood for construction. If you specify the right materials, it works just fine and looks incredible.
Let's not forget that the room has two beds...potentially 3 people sharing that room and the 'ensuite' 🤣 Well spotted by the way, I didn't see that first time around. I was too busy wondering who could sleep in that bed without giving themselves a concussion every time they got up out of it.
Maybe the bed under the eaves is there for emergencies if they need to move away from the smell?
😂🤣🤣 your probably right!
There are plenty of people who find that a turn on.
Google SCAT. Or maybe don't.
Wasn't that a type of jazz 😜
You're right it looks incredible alright. Maybe it's treated better in the Nordic countries, or they will carry the necessary maintenance to keep it looking good. I don't know to be honest. Or as you said use the correct materials which might be a factor too. All I can say anywhere I've seen it done in the northwest of Ireland after 10 years it looks terrible, faded, patchy, or rot. It should be said too with the exception of the Western coast of Norway the Scandinavian countries get less rain fall and wind
Having a bath would feel like being on the Titanic.
Looks like someone might have took on more than they could handle. If you had bottomless pockets this could be some project. There must be some history to this place too. If the walls could talk!
Am I missing something, how do you access most of the upstairs rooms?
There is a photo of the bridge that very clearly shows it was built in 1837, but the EA offers an approximation of the date?!
Anyway its an amazing property, it would be lovely to have the money, reason and ability to restore it, you would have to throw at least a million at it to get anywhere at all with it. Just researching its history would be fascinating.
The plans must be wrong.
Am I missing something here? 65 acres of land down that way is worth €800k any day of the week I would have thought. You could sell the land and get the house and t'mill for free or make cash already?
No pics of the inside of the house even though the doors are open. That's odd. And some of the upstairs rooms are absolutely tiny. All very strange.
I find the pics of the statues of the dogs very moving and very poignant. They've been made to order, obviously as a reminder of a previous owners' favourite pets. No sign of what their names were. First job would be to give them a clean. (Pics 25, 51, 52, )
The end section (at the top of the plan) looks as though one bedroom is accessed through another bedroom, which isn't very handy. The other end of the building appears to have been a separate 4 room house, there may have been one of those narrow ladder type staircases out of one of the two downstairs rooms. The sensible solution would be to turn that very narrow bedroom beside the stairs into a corridor to the first bedroom with an ensuite/dressing room in the end room. Overall its not very usefully laid out anyway.
I'd love to have a look round and sort it out!
Holy mother of Jaysus!
That interior is awful. What's with the wallpaper-patterned surface up high in the kitchen (is it formica or something?)? And the big uncomfy looking sofas/chairs lined up in front of the telly! And the bed under the sloping roof - you wouldn't want to sit up too quick in the morning.....
The outside doesn't exactly look a picture either, something very odd about the whole place.
It gives me cult vibes
Neat!
And no sitting up in bed..
Wow... Seriously atmospheric. Imagine though what it was like in its heyday. Love that stone lion... and the caravan is grand.
I had to Google it, must be the longest R.N. dates I've seen.
Great few years for stonemasons though, until 1900 rolled around.
This is something else entirely.

Wow! The oval office is a nice touch, any connection to the Kennedys?
The fruits of the Yankee candle empire

I read a piece in an architectural magazine about this. The moisture in the air in Ireland is different to Scandinavia, where almost every everything is wood. Droplets are finer, it’s damper, and it’s impossible to adequately protect wood even using the treatments and types of wood they use in Scandinavia. It degrades very fast no matter what you do
And I guess it makes sense when you think about old ruined buildings. There’d a hundred year old wooden ruin in Sweden when in Ireland anything wood would have long disintegrated into nothing.
I have a solution dig a big hole in a bog and build your wooden house in the hole and then fill it all in. Should last for centuries then. 🤣
