Wow now there's a watermark on the photos, as if it's something to be proud of 🙄
It seems that few Child Of Prague statues survived without losing their heads at some stage.
Sadly no interior photos of this beauty near Cashel. I must go and see..

I believe this is the hall just inside the front door. 😁
The view out of the front windows isn't up to much either.
Lovely view in 2009 though!
I've only just realised the sheds are part of the site, and appear to be in better condition than the house - or at least they were ten years ago. Maybe the whole place has been cleared, there seems to have been some clearance around the house. Given the amount of work involved in demolishing and clearing the whole lot, it would be expensive if they were giving it away, its hardly in a prime location.
perfect for a little herb growing. Not that i'd know anything about that, officer.

Granted it needs a lot of work, but it seems a bit of a bargain.
I'm not so sure it's that much of a bargain. The house needs a new everything such as new windows, doors, kitchen, bathroom, plumbing, electrics, insulation, fixtures and fittings, flooring, landscaping etc.
The roof would also need to be seriously investigated as vegetation on a roof tends to do harm and there's plenty of damp in the building. A new roof or roof repairs might solve that problem but the damp might be coming up through the foundation or in through the walls. The advert doesn't say anything about mains water or sewage so maybe a new septic tank/well might be needed. I doubt €100,000 would turn that into a nice house. You'd be approaching or even over €300,000 by the time you factor in the purchase price and renovation costs.
Not really a bargain but then again house prices can be pretty mental in Meath so maybe you are right.
I have zero DIY skills so you may well be right. I was looking at it from the POV of location, it's over an acre and there's actually a house on it.
Holy old school batman
probably the bees knees 35 years ago.
Yeah. Like an early 90s time capsule. Still, you could make an amazing home there. New kitchen and bathroom and the rest is mainly cosmetic
I am more shocked at a million quid for a house up at Sandyford Industrial Estate!
Jeepers, that's a real throwback!!
Formica kitchen ✔
Primrose bathroom suite ✔
Carpet worn bare in high traffic areas ✔
Stripy wallpaper ✔
Velvet curtains with pelmets ✔
Can't remember what else, but that could be the family home i grew up in! (except for the style of house)
BER E1...it would be warmer in the swimming pool.
Its interesting how none of the curtains do anything for any of the rooms.
It's the stone fireplace does it for me. In fact that stone fireplace would date it back to the late 1960's.
That, and the stonework extended into the alcove, at an angle.
Has to be the home of a old couple that died recently or moved in a care home.
I’d say downsizing is more likely. A couple about to hit retirement and looking to build up their Florida fund
It's like they bought the pool and couldn't afford anything else!
with a lot of people they decorate a house once and wont countenance doing it again, i think its more that than anything, apart from the carpet wear it looks relatively loved.
And like was mentioned already it would take a lot of money to bring that house up to scratch and then another large sum to fix the swimming pool if you were amazed that it had a pool and thinking you just had to add water.
Swimming pools are way more trouble than they are worth in this climate.
Yes, it often amazes me at how well maintained some of these houses are.
That house makes me feel a little bit sad.
It was probably someone's dream home at one time.
Keep that fireplace a few more years and it will come back into fashion as a very desirable antique.
Best thing to do with the pool is cover it with a glass sunroom type setup with a roof that moves out of the way on the random days we get sun. Or fill it in and extend the house back and make a mad rave hall!
I wouldn't touch the kitchen, I think it's amazing with the curves and the colours. They've already made an effort to keep it when putting in the new cookers. I'd regrout the tiles, have them deep cleaned and leave it at that.
Apart from that, the cosmetic stuff like carpets can be done and concentrate on improving energy efficiency, with air source heat pumps, better insulation, windows etc.
The tetris tiles are just brilliant!
