Looks like they got 2 for the price of one alright;
I thought this house looked nice from the outside - I changed my mind when I looked at the interior. The decor is dreadful - you guys will love the marble pillars.
The owners absolutely ruined the interior of this house - its awful - thats all I can say! I sincerely hope the pillars are not holding up the house😂🤣
Good find. A touch of In The Manor Manner Born.
Another Mac Mansion where they ran of money to finish it properly. I would hope those columns are not structural. Love the electrical insulating tape on the hall's main chandelier.
Some of them are not even touching the ceiling.....😁
Oh that is such a shame!
I agree, its nice from the outside, but wtf with all the columns? They ruin it. Otherwise it could be very nice.
Lordy that is some amount of compensating Wayne Bobbitt is doing
Jaysus, did they get a job lot for a tenner or something? They're shoehorned into every corner, and even no corners such as this one plonked blocking half of a corridor!
If they're just put there (and obviously they were) then they could presumably be easily taken back out again.
It's not a bad house really - decent sized rooms, decoration while not to my taste is mostly not bad (certainly liveable-with in the short to medium term).
That high-shine floor in the main bedroom though - you'd have yourself a broken leg or hip within a week if you tried to walk on that in yer socks!
A house that screams new money and no class.
Is there a wardrobe/storage anywhere, there's a clothes rail and clutter in a bathroom/ensuite?
I agree the house could be nice and just needs finishing off and redecorating. It shows that some people have awful taste when doing up a house. Hopefully them pillars can be pulled out easily.
They seem to have the office in a connecting room to a bedroom which is odd - its an open plan office bedroom layout
Maybe the pillars were cheaper than doors!
What is this yoke?
Apart from the pillars, and the tacky furniture which is irrelevant, with a bit of redecorating it seems as though it could be a nice house. Its a lovely setting. I would have to have something a bit more forgiving on the marble stairs but for once I don't dislike the hall and curved staircase.
It reminds me of a tomb. Or some kind of memorial wall waiting for the names to be carved on it.
Madness to cover panelling with an ugly eyesore that is neither use nor ornament.
The owner must have gotten carried away after a holiday in Rome or Greece.
I wonder if they went in before the flooring? Adding to the experience of removing them. Hopefully they are just fibreglass.
The gas thing is you could sell a 3 bed semi in Dublin and buy this place, with a few bob left over to redecorate.
You could have fun building a grecian folly in the garden with the pillars and chunks of marble from the curved thing.
It looks like they're just sitting on the floor.
Well that one on the left certainly didn't go in before the flooring!
Is that what they call a 'Feature Wall'?
They were the hight of fashion at one stage, if memory serves me right.
Is that cement or a glue under it? Imagine having to replace all the flooring too?
Maybe it belongs to a marbe sales man and he gets to bring home the surplus stock.
Its hard to judge how much work needs doing on this house and gardens etc - the photos are very limited and poor quality. We dont get to see proper photos of the bathrooms, or wardrobes or the gardens. I expect some of the bedrooms and bathrooms are not finished at all or of a really poor standard.
It’s insane that a house of that size and quality (marble and pillars aside 😁) and the estate agent goes around taking the photos with what looks like a very old phone. And no floor plans?
A very big shed/garage and 'stables' at the back?
Room for a pony!

This one is different. Not for me, it seems weird but might suit some heathen who likes to wake up at 4am in the summer time.
Seems cheap enough.
That kitchen could really do with an island.
I suppose its true of any of these chapel conversions, but how do you get out in the case of fire? There appears to be 3 doors downstairs, but upstairs you are stuck. And there isn't a lot of scope for opening windows for ventilation, though I suspect there are plenty of draughts to deal with that!
Otherwise I think it is rather attractive, though I would want to do some rearranging, not sure about the completely open plan downstairs, or the bed on a balcony upstairs. A floor plan of the upstairs would have been helpful.
That's one of the better church conversions I've seen, by quite some distance. They've done a lovely job with the upstairs.
Downstairs is a bit vast, could definitely do with being broken up a bit more - and yes, something to fill that yawning space in the kitchen (you'd certainly get your steps up pacing around that!)
Ooh, I like that! I agree that downstairs is too open and would lose the overhead beds.
I don't get the 4am comment though.
A lot of church conversions look weird upstairs where the first floor has been added. The downstairs ones look slightly weird with this one, but they seem to have added a fake wall and window sill upstairs so it looks good.
No curtains or anything to stop the light in the morning at 4am.
