C3 with a heat pump. Wonder what the electricity bills are like.
We are the exact same, our living room is the original cottage, well over 100 years old with single block walls, no cavity. It is an absolute ice box in winter, really hard to get any kind of heat in it. I too would be very slow to live in an old house unless there had been significant work done to address that issue.
That's a lovely house but is it just me or does it seem a lot bigger when you view it from the outside versus when you do the walk around video tour?
88m2 so about the same size as your standard 3 bed semi Ds in Dublin. Does give off the impression that it's a bit bigger than that.
I couldn't live with the floor tiles in the Roscommon house, or the wall tiles in the kitchen. It's stunning otherwise.
Like the garden & poly tunnels, the house screams rising damp, and damp cold walls, mold, mildew - an ice box with high heating bills etc. No amount of cosmetic decorations can hide that fact.
The cement render back and sides and the stone cladding on the front doesn't help.
It says the walls are insulated, so presumably on the exterior and the cladding/render is to hide it. Though the same argument would apply on the inside, though those look more like original stonework. Its concrete render that does most of the damage, holding in the damp.
Sorry, Dumb comment. Had to delete.
You have to remember that BER ratings can come from the same place as the amount of money the bankers said they needed for the bailout.
I looked at a former school building Dublin Corpo were selling, BER of C3. They must have thought the metal shutters they had bolted over the single glazed windows had magical properties. It also had no electricity and the copper collectors had paid a visit.
Lovely house and all but the owners must have missed the memo where houses on an acre in foxrock arent making this kinda dosh any more
IMO if you arent on Ailesbury road, or on a site with prime sea views in Killiney or Dalkey forget about prices like this,
Of course i could be completely wrong and it sells quickly but generally houses at this end of the market are quietly marketed long before they end up slumming it on myhome.
How does the BER compare to the EPC in the North? Say this house in Derry with the stone exposed
That Derry house is lovely. The pantry!
Here's the EPC, I don't know how a BER is done, so can't compare;
To me Foxrock represents the worst of the Irish property market.
As you said, I can understand some locations being expensive if they are close to the sea, have nice cafés, pubs and restaurants and have good public transport, but surely Foxrock had almost none of these?
Is it exclusively a location that aims to keep the riff raff out or is there something else that makes this area attractive? Not overly familiar with the area so am completely open to correction.
It's main thing going for it is proximity to other rich people, it had it's day but the appeal is gone I think
If I was rich which I'm not I would love that Foxrock house. Great garden too.
How many roofs can you count?

What a mess - thats only fit for knocking. Even the land out the back is a mess.
It's a beautiful house in a nice location. I'm not a fan of the black tiles in the bathroom (pic 30) and some of the wallpaper (pic 23) is a bit loud for my liking but everything else is nice.
It might seem overpriced but that's for a buyer to decide if they want to pay that price or not. Also, when selling anything, always start off asking for more money than you hope to get. That leaves room for negotiation. You can come down a bit and the buyer thinks they are getting a deal.
Ah lads, that is a properly fabulous house!!!
Like others, some of the furnishing (not a lot, though) wouldn't be to my taste, but my God, if I won a few lottos I'd be all over that.
Mind you, you'd need another few lottos to be able to afford the upkeep.....
Would you need planning permission for a job like that? Because it hasn't been applied for.
Absolutely its a lovely house - its one of the nicest Ive seen here. I love the look of the house both inside and out. Its decorated beautifully and all the rooms are a good size but not too big. Its a very liveable house. The gardens are also fab. I wouldnt change a thing.
I still think though that the house is a tad overpriced.
It was a well kept rural cottage on Streetview 14 years ago. I don’t know what happened in the intervening years….
im not denying its a lovely house, and very liveable for the size, gardens are amazing as well,
however i think they are 2m at least overpriced, and thats on a good day,
could well be proved wrong however. (and i am sure millions have gone into it to get it to that condition)
Thats kind of the thing though, if i was spending 8m on a house i dont care how fabulous it is, i wouldnt be spending it in foxrock.
+1 there is normally economy of scale for the buyer at the top end. 400 sq.m. at €10,000 per, and the remainder at €5,000 gives about a €6 million value. I'd pay that, if I had it and at least 1 mill a year income!
Beach Meadow Farm house is stunning. I love the pantry
I agree, it's just beautiful and the price it is going for puts the Foxrock place as rather overpriced, imo.
Yep, I agree with you 100%.
Foxrock might suit someone who is working in the city or someone from Dublin. For a bogman like me, If I had that kind of money, I'd rather be as far away from the M50 as I could get.
You'd probably buy a nice bit of land and build that house for €3m down the country.
