Fairly sure this featured on a Dermot Bannon show at some point.
Possibly was one of the "come and look at what these people did" inspiration homes he brings people to visit on Room to Improve
Beautiful house inside, enormous price tag!
Agree. Lovely house internally but just looks like it shouldn't be there and I wouldn't be surprised if the owners weren't overly popular with the locals.
I'm actually a bit sad about this house. The entrance to the beach is right beside it and the lake fascinated me as a kid.
The old house was gorgeous…as a kid this was my dream house!
I honestly don't know how they got planning permission for THAT looks like a prefab on blocks. Completely not in keeping with the area.
I think the outside looks like something you're more likely to see in Belfield. I also wonder if that "pond" stinks a bit in the summer>
However, I do love the inside; bright, blonde and simple elegance.

Distinctive. Vaguely reminds me of that seed vault in Norway.
Haha 😁
Pic 24? Its a lazy description overall though, the list of rooms stops at the hall and a small bit of the living room. It also promises all day sunshine in the garden, the grass is in great condition considering it doesn't get any rain.
Debatable, it's being dwarfed by UHL at the back
There’s no water in it. Neither is it mentioned as a swimming pool, just swimming pool area. Caveat emptor…..
That looks like a great house. Not over looked out the back either which is a massive plus and looks to be a quiet estate out front too. Then the swimming pool is a big bonus.
didn't see that coming
If it was a decent location for touring, you could rent out a few spaces on the tarmac as a motorhome aire in the summer months. Bring in a few bob.
surprising addition in this otherwise ordinary looking estate house

Previous owner didn't worry about things like that
Well not if they paid me!
That's beautiful. I would love it
I would love to be in that Clifton house on a hot summers day and swim in the water but not sure I'd like to live there throughout the year. And then the mad price. I feel it is well overpriced and even if I was a millionaire I wouldn't pay that for it.
the sheds and rear house don’t look to have planning as far as I can see.
"Commercial warehouse"! 😂
Agreed. Fab location. Mad money. Would be bleak in winter.

Amazing location, average house but outrageous price imo
Christ if you got that for €550,000 it would be some deal!
My sister in law purchased a very similar house with the same sorts of sheds, etc about 5-6 years ago for €450k.It ended up costing so much as she ended up in a bidding war. She spent close to €500k doing a full very high spec renovation. There's no end to the amount of money you can spend on a project like this, although there's a small income associated with the rental of the associated land.

Good bonus feature:
”There was no mention on the website of the escape chute from the house to the shed where a motorbike had been parked.”
Bad bonus feature would probably be some lads calling at some point to dig something that they buried on the property somewhere.

That is actually really lovely, I love those big wooden double doors
That's a nice house apart from the two modern sheds that you do not own that are so close to your property if you bought it.
Totally put me off if I bought it.
Drove past this the other day and thought it looks interesting. It would take an absolute fortune to get it to a liveable standard, but it has the potential to be gorgeous.
I think it has a lot to offer with some imagination. Looks like it's 1960s vintage and so it doesn't have the charm of the older cut-stone buildings, but the long windows and the high rooms are wonderful. Demolish the entire flat roof section to the rear, use the main building as the kitchen and living area with two bedrooms and construct a new rear section with modern facilities and whatever else is required and it could be pretty amazing. Just unfortunate that it's in Roscommon.
Have seen every episode of Martijn Doolaard's renovation in the Italian Alps since he started the project three years ago. It's more like meditation than the hectic world of Grand Designs, The Great House Revival etc. The pace at which he progresses would drive most house renovators nuts. I'll never forget sitting through about 5 episodes where he made a wooden chute for one side of the first cabin. I still find him fascinating and wouldn't miss an episode on any account. Also really enjoyed his bicycle journey from Vancouver to Patagonia.
