I like the pool, the is just big for the sake of it, big and barren.
The weird room Heidi posted with what looks like a station of the cross, the small table and chairs, the chests, the goblet and the alcohol and swords behind the glass doors - it's like a weird room for occult ceremonies.
Do you not have a similar room for storing your wine?
No that's St Patrick!
Hopefully whoever buys it rewilds the land. It’s what I’d do if I could buy it.
Could you do that with such exposed land?
If grass grows there native heathers, brambles etc will.
This place is quite something! Would make a great AirBnB. Not sure I would fancy living in it!

The design on the kitchen presses would be a b1tch to keep clean , other than that I like it.
I like to too. Some of the furniture needs to go in a skip.
Nightmare to dust too with all the trinkets hanging up and open fires/stoves.
I had the same thought about the trinkets and bits and pieces everywhere. 😁
It looks well cared for anyway.
Oh I'd keep all the open fires (probably because we haven't had an open fire in about 30 years) .
That was on about 12 months ago I think, I wonder did the sale fall through.
It's amazing following this thread, it's like a giant slow-moving roundabout - everything eventually comes around again!!
I thought I had seen it before!
why are all the floors purple...
I don't think they are.
I think it's the highly polished wood taking reflective colour from the mad ceilings (and possibly some camera settings, most of the photos are incredibly gloomy!)
that would certainly make more sense
must be a nightmare maintain that shine on the floor.
They look like they'd be lethal to walk on too.
That will be a hard sell because of the difficulty getting home insurance, it probably needs a cash buyer willing to watch everything go up in smoke.
This was in Offaly too.

I think those red floors are actually red, there are a number of bright red timbers available as well as red dye and red polish to increase the intensity. I wouldn't want to live with them though, and they are way too shiny for my taste.
The floors are probably Redheart: https://www.wood-database.com/redheart/
I don't like it, but you can be sure it was expensive.
The Never ending Proopeerteeeeeeeeee video made on the local BBC news here.
An interview with Clare Cossey, she's actually great crack, and has done about a doz. videos all to different tunes.
I can't find any of them on you tube unfortunately
The hard sell is actually finding a single buyer who would be interested in that style of home itself. A property like that could easily sit for a few years before someone is interested in it.
Exactly. The same goes in fact for a lot of the multiple bedroom Mc Mansions (with present wrapping room?) that have been built in Ireland over the last twenty years. You can always shift a semi d with all the walls painted magnolia. Not so easy a palatial mansion in Gaybrook with curving staircase and sunken baths.
I don't think it's a reflection. It can't see how it's a reflection in this room as the ceiling and walls are white. They do seem to be exceptionally well polished. Great fun when scuttered and wearing socks. My wife's house in Australia used to have polished wooden stairs. Great fun when wearing a pair of socks.
That looks like wooden floors with some sort of resin coating.
First world problems here but one thing I don't like is curtains that 'slosh' down onto the floor. It looks like the curtains are too long. An inch off the floor would do me grand.
That said, that £15 million quid house is fabulous. I could easily see myself being Lord of the Manor in it, running around with my top hat and monacle, my bag of cans and a Supermacs garlic and cheese fries. 😁
When you first make a pair of floor length heavy curtains you can measure them exactly so that they just hang half a centimeter off the floor. Customer sees them and says lovely! In about a week they will have relaxed so they are actually about 2 centimeters longer and are trailing on the floor, customer complains and the whole business of taking them down and turning them up again, which is one of the most complex parts of making curtains. Make them a centimeter or so too short to start with, customer complains immediately. And you cannot absolutely guarantee how much they will drop so allowing a random one or two centimeters may not help.
Solution? Convince people that a puddle of curtain is absolutely the thing, and you don't have to worry about a bit of drop.
My mother inlaw had wall tiles the same colour and just as shiny on the bathroom floor. They were lethal...
I can help thinking that in America the wine press/wall would be full of guns and knifes.
This was probably seen as a classy house in the 80s or 70s even the name has the pretence of grandeur about it.
Maybe it's the lens but the rooms look massive.
