It really does look like it was put together over a number of years with whatever wood was close to hand.
Well, "Here's one I did earlier ..." 🤣
Oh, wow! I have serious house and garden envy, the only thing I don't like is the carpet on the stairs and landing.
Actually they have dropped the price on this, It started at €685k, now down to €595k.
It is lovely but as some have said, for what is a two bed, it's kinda expensive.
I hope it's not a live demo for any viewers of the house 😂
Thought it might be a magic doorway to the hidden third bedroom that the auctioneer has listed it as.
Absolutely stunning home but not surprised it has been on the market for a while at that price / fairly limited buyers market for a 2 bed at that price.
Love the job done on this

I love the domed ceilings
Great house if you are a flasher. People over eating food just tell them I just need to have a shower, strip off and have a shower in front of them.
The size of this place and it only has electric heaters 🙈 I can feel the cold and damp from here 😂

Its very charming though! Agreed you would need a bottomless pit of money to keep it warm.
That's just lovely - proper old-school grand. And if you have €5.5 to spend, you'd probably have a bit left over to convert the heating system (I'd be more afraid of the bills than the cold and damp tbh!)
What amazes me most is the size of the (tiny) kitchen(s)! Given the quality of the rest of it, I was expecting some enormous kitchen/dining/living space - but I suppose at least there are two of them, his'n'hers?
Why would the housekeeper need a big kitchen?
I think it's unreasonable to expect every room in a dwelling to be 'warm', especially if you think that it's ok to wander around in winter dressed in the same way you'd dress in summer. Like my housemate who sits still at his computer for hours with nothing on his feet wearing only a t-shirt and then complains bitterly about how cold it is.
Put some layers on, wear socks and slippers, only heat the main room you're using, save yourself some money.
That mess of power lines and transformers in the corner though, you'd be cursing them every time you came out the door.
I had another look because I didn't notice them. I don't think they'd bother me but the school next door visible on street view would!
That is true, but in a house of that age, electric heaters are going to be woefully inadequate, not to mention, astronomically expensive to run. An old house like that will get very damp and mouldy if not heated adequately.
Don't get me wrong, it is a beautiful house and has enormous potential. But you would need an endless supply of money to bring it up to scratch.
No banister and questionable carpet.
Those stairs matched with the carpet..... accident waiting to happen.
Also what's the story with those curtains in the bathroom.....I can smell the must!!
That hallway is like the set of a horror movie.
I wonder does carpet get cheaper when you buy it by the square kilometre.
Jesus no stumbling to the jacks in the dark at night in that house. Narrow pathway with drops on both sides.
That upstairs landing made me physically queasy looking at it. What an utterly stupid design. The house generally would need a couple of hundred thousand thrown at it to disentangle the morass of styles - stained glass, Greekish columns and friezes, late 1990s kitchen, exposed beams etc - that have been cobbled together, put in suitable railings and banisters, and replace all the floor coverings. Otherwise its a nice house with great potential.
The size of that living room! How would you even begin to fill it with furniture??? It looks like the common room of a care home.
That staircase and landing can’t be for real, there surely must be a glass barrier that the photos aren’t picking up. The house was built by the current owners in 1989 so they must be late middle age if not older, that place would be an absolute death trap for an elderly person.
That is just incredibly dangerous.
At least they stopped short in the toilet....assuming of course you live to make it that far
The ad does state "interior has reached the stage where cosmetic improvements are required".
Most likely a reference to needing a new balustrade to be installed - its kind of obvious that one is needed on the upstairs landing.
Any surveyor would flag that as not being compliant with Building Regs in an inspection report.
That step up/down at the front entrance is an accident waiting to happen! I'd pass on that alone.
