Stunning location - however it's very remote and would not suit everyone. Might be a good location for a holiday home for a rich American....
For some reason when reading the description it felt like an airbnb listing rather than a Daft listing.
Spot on. Here's the rental listing for it: https://fivestar.ie/self-catering/luxury-lodge-tinakilly/
Nearly 2 grand a night, good lord.
Here's the actual location. You can see the skylight window of the dining room, overlooked by the dormer windows. And the patio with the umbrella.

looks like they are getting some new neighbours out the back, what was once rural is about to be engulfed by urban sprawl
Well spotted! Its a long way away from where their map claims it is!
That's been on before, lovely place - apart from the mysterious shower off the dining room, we never did come to any conclusions about it!
Edit, sorry I meant to quote brokenbad's post, hit the wrong one.
that and the strangely left scrubland at the front next to the manicured lawn.
Here's a quick overlay of the site map for the Tinakilly Park development over the satellite view of the location of the house. It doesn't look like the current phases will encroach right up to the boundary of the house, but it does look like there'll be a publicly accessible parkland area there.
Here's an idealised mockup image from the brochure for TinaKilly Park development, where you can see the proposed parkland. I've marked the location of the house for sale. The've photoshopped in extra trees to obscure it. Of course, you'd want to check the planning application carefully to make sure that it actually is parkland that will be there, and it's not just a placeholder for Phase 3.
A barge converted into a Houseboat that featured on George Clarke's Amazing Spaces. 3 beds for £165,000.
I like it, but you'd be limited with it's height on many stretches of canal here. If you got a mooring in Grand Canal Dock, or along the Liffey, it would be a nice investment. Or maybe settle for a stationary spot in Sallins or elsewhere.
Some poor man one time decided to cross the Irish sea in a canal barge like that from UK to Ireland sadly he never completed the journey and died. I guess nobody told him sea boats are built different so they don't topple in the waves.
It's listed on FiveStar for rent, that's where they took the photos from
That's lovely and very well decorated.
Does anyone know safe are they to live in permanently (burglary etc) and how much upkeep do they require?
They need to be treated under neath so the part in the water every couple of years so if you live in it you may have to factor in a b&b or if moneys tight and it's summer stay in a tent for a couple of days or even a week depending how ever efficient the person doing the work for you is.
They are not safe as they are actually very easy to break into. Plus sometimes you may be stopped in a remote place which makes a break in even easier for who ever is thinking of stealing from you.
If it's the one I'm thinking of, it was a very young couple that did it up. The boat was a wreck when they got it.
I remember thinking "this pair are dreamers" but they did a fantastic job on it. They were a lovely couple as well.
Definitely a candidate for Ugly House to Lovely House if George Clarke came over here. I’d want the field next door too if I was in the market for this.
God, my head hurts after looking through those photos. That is really depressing.
Dampness is bad in that house and the half plastered wall is that a feature or did some of it fall off.
"This is one not to be missed" says the ad.....
I just hope that it’s not being sold with ‘contents included’!
Big lump under the blanket in one of the beds. I hope it's not the previous owner.
The clutter!!!!! I like it all the same.
Actually some of the stuff looks antique and in quite good nick. Kitchen scales must be easily 1950s, and cannot remember last time I saw a CRT & VTR..
There’s some lovely pieces alright, just the sheer volume of stuff is what would overwhelm me!
I think this is a lot of house for the money in a pretty good location. Needs a bit of work but overall it looks in fairly good condition and has some nice quirky features. Could make a really stunning home.

I think that's a lovely house.
Looks like a well loved family home*, wonder why they are selling.
*Yeah obviously some rooms need abit of TLC but nothing jumping out as a problem.
Avondale, 32 Pic Du Jer Park, Ballinlough, Co. Cork, T12R2T2 is for sale on Daft.ie
Pic 15 is nightmare stuff.
Oh my, thought I'd hit a glitch and was getting a tour of a funeral home or something for a few photos there
What a mess, the carpet on the bath surround in pic 19 must stink.
