Divorce?
That seems insane. The house needs a lot of work
I assume it is because they over spend and the debt makes them sell. You see it occasionally on Grand Designs.
Even see it in Dublin housing estates when a house is gutted and extended but sold within a year or 2.
how bleak is this for 600k
Sell them on after being left another property maybe.
Why do people build these dream houses with no expense spared and then a few years later put them up for sale....you see it a lot particularly in rural areas.
I've driven by it a few times and was always keen to see the inside of it!!!
There are some lovely houses around Rathfeigh/Skryne area.
Its rather charming, though a very strange layout - access to the kitchen and the serious shortage of bathrooms in a five bedroom house being the main problems. Including the land registry map was a very smart move though, how many diddly box houses could you put on that site!
Wonder how much for this. I would say the land value means it is likely to be demolished

The one in Meath however, most impressive house. Wouldn't suit my lifestyle but couldn't fault it for - anything really. I think if I had built it I would be very sorry to leave it, a lot of thought has gone into it.
Drumcondra house...no. Where to start? The bank effect 'stone' in the hall? The tacky dark varnished skirting everywhere? The too big cornice that needs to be in a room half as high again? No.
Or for the same money you can have this in county Meath!

Is that house in Drumcondra in the estate/road were Bertie and Samantha Mumba lives/lived?
Tacky as feck! Nothing says 'new money' more than a modern house decorated inside to look like an estate house.
Pillars, ceiling roses, plaster cornices, marble fireplaces, chandelier.. it has it all! I even see the remnants of what was a snooker room in the attic.
A big House in Dublin but it looks tacky to me

It's like the opening credits when Glenroe started.

The outside photo looks like it was taken in the 1990s..
Another Celtic Tiger indulgence....this one has the look of a repossession job...

Would you know if a Portuguese one exists?
I'm cold just looking at those pictures!
It's not for sale, but you'd want to be on some strong meds to be paying €2.5k/month for this
Die hard 4. A good day to die hard.
You say that as tho it's fairly a straightforward thing for the average Joe to do.
Have you a back garden is so self build a cinema there. You'd self build a wooden structure for under 5 grand. Couple more for sound system plus the projector.
Old cinema in Waterford works very well as an interestingly shaped bookshop with a mural where the screen was, and one in Tramore is now a shop that sells all kinds of art, crafts, stationery, gifts and similar items. It would make an interesting video - old cinemas and what they have become!
Edit - I just googled Ireland, old cinemas, and there is a lot for Dublin, also this thread from Boards https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2056634068/old-cinemas from 12 years ago.
X men - last stand, can’t make out the other poster. Can’t believe that a place like that was still open just 11 years ago. It’s a throwback to another era.
Talking from experience... 🤣
It's more fun if you're not supposed to be there !
