Two holiday rental properties, right on the greenway. Surely that's why it's priced that high.
I would not agree that it is dated. The property is in excellent condition. However the main issue is it is Ber exempt. Who ever did up the house and apartment never insulated it. There is a lot of exposed sine inside, beautiful to look at but can mean that the house is very poorly insulated.
If it had been insulated on the inside with very limited exposed stone it would be more attractive.
Building that are Ber exempt should get a Ber test done if C/ D or better they should let it be known if this Ber is achieved by good insulation installation.
380k seems crazy for a dated building that needs work in rural limerick. Is there 100k tacked on for the novelty of it being a former station??
There is already a lot of facilities on the Greenway. You are no distance from Barnagh where there is a cafe and bike stop ( a bus drops and collects bikes and cyclists to carry them back to there cars or start the journey to where there cars are)
There is already a stop in place at Templeglantine. Templeglantine to Barnagh is only 4km and Abbeyfeale is only 9 km. Also I would doubt if you would be allowed access to the Greenway. For your own personal use you could put a pedestrian exit but there is a fence along the whole lenght
That property is over priced IMO. At 380k even with the little apartment it fairly expensive for the area. The disadvantages are obvious. The site seems to be only 50-80' squeezed between the Greenway and the road. And at a guess the back of the house is North facing.
Of the site was a bit wider the back of the house South facing it would have much more potential. Greenway are inherently safe an 6-10 years old would have a great time at Christmas after getting a go-kart or bicycle.
Agreed, it would make a great cafe with possibly a small apartment above, or in the little cottage affair.
Mixed feelings about that one, firstly I think Greenways are fantastic facilities and love to see them, I also love when old public/industrial/commercial buildings get cleverly repurposed instead of going derelict. However I think that building might need a change of use from residential to commercial, a café and/or a bike rental. Looking at the location, it'd definitely be more cyclists using it then walkers. Nearest main station, erm I mean town, is Abbeyfeale which is a fair drive away.

Imagine some nice day going out sitting on the hammock for some peace and quiet and every few minutes people walking by. And it's not like a field away it's right up on top of you. Not for me at all. I would move to the countryside for peace and quiet, pointless otherwise.
My thinking also, they could have cleaned the bath also!
If it wasn't for the road/greenway outside the front door that could be an amazing home.
The kitchen, net curtains and the crap door in the archway would have to go, but it could be stunning. Pity it's so close to the greenaway. 😑
This is a little different!
I'd be over in the Algarve posting ads to 6 bed villas with massive gardens and pools asking...........who'd live in a house like this? ME!!!!
I reckon I'd be off this for a few days at least if I won! Sign in from Japan or Canada to say hi.
I was the same - and wondered what you were still doing here, posting 🤣
I read that as
Won €12 million on the Euromillions, just a small bit more tomorrow night and I'll buy it.
and was wondering why you felt the need for a top-up!
😂
I like it, including the gated off look. Perfect for an unsocial creature such as myself. If anything, I'd like if they had the option to go total block, like a sliding mechanism that closes over the holes. Interior, is a bit bleak and cold looking, but nothing a nice bit of personal decor wouldn't resolve. If you're buying a house for close to a million, you can probably afford to decorate it.
What struck me was how easy it would be to hoover! Bonus points in my book, I hate having to move crap to clean and this looks nice and without gaps or crevices for dirt to get stuck. However, negative points for all the glass (PITH to clean, but may be resolved with window cleaning robots) and white. Won €12 on the Euromillions, just a small bit more tomorrow night and I'll buy it.
Likely taken when the properties were newly-built, before someone badly cleaned off the graffiti.
those photos make the front look much better
I cant imagine they would have an issue if you took down the suspended ceiling and revealed the plasterwork underneath that is hopefully in good shape.
I love it. But then I love everything that ODOS do.

You can basically do what you want, without planning, as long as you stick closely to guidelines. Then if anyone reports you, you have to sort your planning, which wouldn't generally be a problem if you didn't do anything drastic. Enforcement don't really care unless you do something really really drastic, and will often even contradict their own reports.
To be fair the external views are not up to much at all if you check Streetview, it's on a very narrow lane way with another building across from it. Now I know why they have a painting of the canal on the wall - you can't see it from anywhere in the house.
It's like a really fancy, high end, prison. All your external views seem to be obstructed by what looks similar to bars. I don't mind the sleek interior, but the feeling of being caged in would drive me out the front door, never to return.
Even worse it’s a protected structure so you would have to apply for planning permission or an exemption to remove the modern dropped ceiling. The conservation report would, I understand, be 4K before you do any work. Racket for most of these houses (including my own).
Hate it - it would be like living in an office. It is soulless. I couldnt live in that as my main house - it would only be ok a few days a week as a city crashpad while working or something. Its clean and modern but god its bleak, cold and depressing.
I like it to be fair. You’d assume the estate agent told them to make it look as clean/neutral as possible (ie take down anything personal) but it’s a lovely modern house
Wouldn't pay a million for it, but you wouldn’t have to do much to make that place exceptional
This is quite the front door to come home to
I like this!
now down by 45k, from 170k to 125k
Clearly a lot of acid was taken in the design and decorating stage.
