That is a nice house but what the hell did they take the pictures with. I'd say phones I had a few years ago would take better pictures.
Hard to know. There is a preservation order on it. That order applies to the exterior and parts of the interior. There is 0.2 of an acre that is not involved in the preservation order.
If you pay 1.5 million for it you would need to know what you plan to do with it

Reminded me of this after it drinks water
look like photos of photos in a paper brochure blown up,
desperate.
I love all of the big picture windows to make the most of the views but would also like to see it at night or on a dark dreary winter's day of which there are plenty in the northwest. I've noticed a lot more homes like this around the place, you can see the original home which has then had a very modern extension or addition that is at complete odds to the original style. Sometimes they work together well, I think it works ok here.
Love the floor in that place. The glass ballustrade is pretty cool also, but would it have killed them to have the fridge built-in as well?
That floor would give me crossed eyes and a pounding headache!
I love Victorian (style) tiling, but that's waaaaaay to busy for me. That pattern is usually used as a border, with larger, easier on the eye tiling in the main body of the floor. Maybe the pictures exaggerate it and it looks fine in reality, but I think it's too much.
And I kind of disagree about the fridge as well - I'm not a fan of superslick, nearly blank-wall kitchens where there's no features at all. I think the brushed steel, with stuff stuck on it, just softens the whole look.
But that's a fabulous house, in a fabulous location - at a great price (for someone used to Dublin City prices!). I'd take it!!
indeed, I'd have that in a heartbeat. 1 acre garden, c2 BER. ticks a lot of boxes.
am i right in saying its 8km to the closest shop, bit too remote for me
Never mind that, it's about 100 yards to the nearest bit of sea - I'd manage the shops!!
Having said that - I went wandering off down the road on streetview, and came across this - with neighbours like that......
Oh this done up would be my dream
Agree on the floor - far too busy a tile to be using on such large spaces - hall and a sitting room by the looks of thing.
Victorian and quarry tiles often have an intricate border tile, and then the "filler" is quite sparse by comparison - precisely so as not to appear too busy and detailed everywhere.
The house itself has the ultra modern extension but yet looks so cramped at the same time. That kitchen photo looks like everything is falling in toward the viewer - I think its because of the 2 sloped roofs (rooves?) converging in to the middle, gives the illusion of being very cramped. It probably is squite cramped too with the kitchen island, dining table, and big beefy red sofas all within touching distance of each other.
The sleek modern architecture of the house seems totally at odds with the decor put in by the owners, a stove and big cosy sofas, lots of plants and paintings and other stuff that would go in a nice cosy cottage. Really strange mix.
And dont get me started on the size of this bed!
Ruin with a shed for 550k.
All that land though and that view !
Jeepers - €550k before you ever lift a stone!
I wonder what restrictions would be put on the restoration? They don't say it's listed, but "considerable architectural and historical character" would make me nervous.....
Look a bit expensive. Not sure what an unrestricted ( as is anyone can build) site price is down in west Cork. 100k? With a view like that. 16 acres is probably worth 12-15/ acre 200-250k. The view would add a bit but 380-400 tops
With the condition of the ruin probably not too many. Nobody is going to restore that to original condition. You probably will not be allowed to change external front face too much. The roof will probably have to be natural slate. So probably not too onerous
If somebody went about it they could probably see the plans on Cork co council.
There certainly is.
But as a private residence, let the public in a few days a year, and you've an asset exempt from CAT...
This brings a whole new meaning to "Water Closet".
Or probably the original meaning.
They could have at least tried to photoshop out the p!ss stain on the carpet
We rented a house for college that had a very similar "feature" in the shared bedroom.
I would be more worried about the polystyrene tiles on the ceiling, they were banned after the Stardust disaster.
Speechless...
WOW!! That is amazing and fair play to him but it would drive me mad ,confuse me and give me a headache!!
Nice place to rent, just don't bring home the bacon.

Rent it for six months and you have an unlimited tenancy. Then a fry every Saturday morning and a slow cooker to cook dinner every day.

Not sure a dog can survive on a vegan diet.
Feast your eyes on this kip.
