Didn't get through all the photos, but my main impression is that it's tacky.
More money than taste is what springs to mind, even looking at the outside.
The hope is probably that one of the big medical device manufacturers based in Galway will rent it for visiting executives. It’s no more than the cost of a couple of business class flights a month, nothing really to a big multinational.
I wonder would they take a group of students? Wouldn’t be too bad cost wise if the allowed in 5 students, one per bedroom :)
Grandma always said, if you're going to collapse dramatically into a chaise long with the vapours, you may as well have an audience.
You would want to be really fond of wood panelling...
I'd just lock some of the bathrooms and out an out of order sign.
Why would you be bothered having to clean that many toilets on a regular basis.
You can cover a multitude of sins with a bit of panelling. Can you imagine the anxiety the knot patterns in the bedroom would induce? And I didn't like those kitchen tiles the first time round, in the 80's I think.
My boss rents out a house like that (But in Kildare).
He rents it to foreign multinationals for their top men on 3/4/5 year contracts.
6K a month he gets off them.
That's exactly how it'll be used yeah. When you've standard 3 bed semi D's being rented in Galway for well north of 2500, then 5500 for that house doesn't seem unreasonable. The location is fantastic for a house of that size
Carpet looks fresh. Probably had some awful patterned 80’s stuff down before. Combine that with the wood panelling and they couldn’t have listed it for €99k
Edit: ^ that grange house
A fire in that house would spread incredibly quickly. Like wild fire one might say.
I hadn't noticed before but you are right, all of the carpets look pretty new.
House looks well maintained, large site. I would paint the panelling.
Kitchen tiles are a bit of an eyesore. They would need to be replaced. However all the rooms are a decent size. For 200k it probably ok value. If you could put on a seperate two bed extension it would probably work as a family home.
Do all the animals come with this? It's cute, but very strange!
70 pictures of a 3 room cottage is impressive, even more impressive when they've only shown 1 of those 3 rooms.
The agent / seller / photographer has absolutely maximised the dream of selling that cottage though.
The photos of the cottage are repeated at least once (I lost track). You would need to be a true romantic to buy that! Though it might make a nice holiday cottage, I wouldn't like to live there in January.
I think you could add 7 months to that January. Living in Mayo, with the crazy rainfall, can be a slog in a well insulated and modern home at the best of times.
Great fishing around that neck of the woods though so it'll be a dream for someone out there.
The first cottage with a pretentious roundabout in front of the property :)
Some lovely stone buildings on it and the cottage hasn’t been knocked around with flat roof extensions etc. would love to buy it and rewild the land like Eoghan Dalton has done (check out Irish Atlantic Rainforest if you’re interested).
Bad land too just to point out and the rain plattering away on the roof would be annoying.
It looks like it's being marketed to Americans and I can smell the damp from the photo of the one room shown.
Impossible to see myself living there but I keep returning to look at the pictures.
Then again, I was always a bit of an ass man.
The photos certainly sell the John Wayne Quiet Man dream!
They've put a nice bit of effort on the exterior. However, the fact the kitchen or bathroom hasn't been shown begs the question is there running water/ hot water.
I can just picture a sorry looking tap hanging off the wall in the kitchen ,some sort of gas hob sitting on the one press that also is the worktop.
Bathroom, probably best not to go there 🤢
200K Guide price for a manor house in Killarney? must be CAB, Who's got the bottle to buy it?
Plenty of space to park a caravan at the back.
It is CAB, independent has an article saying it was seized from a member of a tarmac gang. They’ve been trying to flog it for ages and would you believe nobody wants it 🤣
Looking at the acres of tarmac surrounding the place, I can believe that!
Looks like it was never lived in. Wonder if the 5 or 6 houses behind it were built by relatives? That would put everyone off. Even with the CAB selling it, all that concrete and tarmac would put most people off, god knows what is under it.
I think that was featured here before. You can tell who owned it even by the exterior.
It's ugly, on a small site and likely to cause nothing but trouble.
I believe it’s common to live in more modest mobile accommodation nearby, and keep the house as show house.
Anfield Manor..........it certainty win the prize for the tackiest house name on this thread and tells you all you need to know.
'large, private, mature grounds'. Its concrete.
The previous house on the site was apparently fairly modern and looked ok, why take it down and rebuild?
