This may be one of the ugliest houses I've ever seen.
Very few photos of the outside are shown but the inside looks ok - https://www.wexfordproperty.ie/riverview-house-ballydicken-upper-crossabeg-wexford-wexford/781152
The estate agent trying to sell that as an unfinished house is madness. It needs to be knocked and redone so its a actually a site with planning - a bad site at that.
€80,000 seems like mad money to me.

OT now.
When you see a mighty old tree in the countryside, it is a sad sight as it is the last of its kind. No other trees anywhere near their age nearby and their saplings browsed away by animals or mowed away. Our hedgerows obliterated by flail mowers if they aren’t dug out completely in the name of ‘neatness’ or easier silage harvesting. When these mighty and ancient trees fall, that is it. Chopped up and carted away. They don’t even get a chance to rot into the ground and nourish it. There’s a few people out there trying to stop the vandalism and prosecute the offenders

Near where I live about 20 years ago there was a a main road and a boreen off it and in the centre of the boreen entrance was a large oak tree and the road had a in and out around the tree(hard to explain) but anyway it was a local land mark but in the end roughly 20 years ago the Co.Co chopped it down and you wouldn't even know it was ever there anymore.
The oak tree would sell it to me. I lived in a house with an approx 100 year old oak in front of it, not causing any issues and in no danger of obstructing the rural country road that passed by about 5m away. We were supposed to take down the tree as part of planning permission, but didn't. When we sold it Kilkenny Co.Co. (name and shame) insisted it be felled, one of the last remnants of the oak forest that gave the area its name. Never forgiven them for that, we had to get it removed in order to sell the house.
€ 869734. I like it😎
I love the short description on this.
"Charming watermill with pigeonnier on its own island with secret gardens and 400 year old oak tree."
They do things differently in Norwegian adverts. Picture number two, he's having the craic!

I think it's hideous and tacky, very new money bordering on traveller chic.
I've been in it, beautiful place. A lot of gardening to be keeping on top of.
a house paid for on the back of horrendous exploitation of animals.. no thanks
There is ALOT I would have to change about the decor in that house. Way overpriced.
Honestly, just stick me in the bungalow and I'd be happy.

I like my bedroom on the cooler side too, but until I go to bed, I like my comfort!
I never have heating on in my bedroom, and most of the year round I have the window open.
I love in winter going to bed in a cold room at around midnight. I would have turned the heating off at 10pm. I remember one time I went back to this chicks house and she had the heating on all night it was torture. I for one have no idea how her and her house mates could afford to do that and two how the hell could you sleep in that heat.
Just imagine this I think it's a upgrade from my current situation regarding heat.
Jesus I’ve be froze!
Ber rating is D2. Oil central heating.
With the double radiators and stoves I see in the description I'd guess it's not easy, or cheap, to heat in winter.
I'll take comfort over pretty any time.
It was the halfway house for the lunatic asylum. I know this because, local residents were told in advance, the profiles any released prisoners.
That's exactly what I thought. Too bleak for my liking.
I wonder how well insulated the walls are.
It looks very pretty in photos, and photographs well, but I don't think I would want to live in it. Bare stone can look nice, but it would look a bit bleak in the middle of winter, especially the bedroom.
oh that is gorgeous!
All that exposed brick and weird shaped painted wood ceilings wouldn't be for me.
Same here.
The gardens and the location are gorgeous, I'll say that for it. All that exposed brick and weird shaped painted wood ceilings wouldn't be for me.
I'd be expecting the clock in the hall to come alive and start singing, "be our guest" at any minute.
Oh, that's gorgeous, yet cosy looking
The Cork house is just too big and looks barren, another mansion that will never make a comfortable home.
