We have high ceilings with exposed beams.
In summer there’s no air gap to the roof so it gets stinking hot, in winter it impossible to heat. Pain in the arse with cobwebs.
And tiles outside of a bathroom are cold and liable to chipping.
Other than that, I’d love that place. Room to tinker outside, and great location with the lake on your doorstep. Dunno who has 600k and wants to live in Leitrim though!
Great find, it's a fascinating building with lovely grounds but would be an awful home. It looks like it was rented with all the fire exit signs.
Looks like it was set up as a museum?
I think I hate everything about it .
The corn mill - claustrophobic with the small windows, and I am not a great fan of that much timber. But there is something about it that I find very appealing. I doubt it would be easy to live in, but I wouldn't mind giving it a chance.
yeah that’s exactly how I feel, there is something about it!! It’s like somewhere I’d like to rent out for a month in the summer or something but couldn’t actually live there?
Mother of god, my eyes!

We've had that visual assault before. 😂
It feels like a house Gipsies would buy.
Yes, one of my personal favourites ever on the thread. Just because it is so awful 🤣
Oh yes, that has been well discussed insulted, its hard to believe its real.
What we thinking on this one?

Kitchen / Dining room feels small and cramped, compared to that huge living room.
I'd have used some of the space in the living room for a nice dining area by the windows.
Still not a fan of high ceilings.
Also not liking the bathroom fittings. I'd imagine getting a new loo seat when you need one wouldn't be easy.
Love that they kept the washing line in the photos!
Not a huge fan of the exterior. Dark wood on top of the light stone is not my kind of thing, the alignment and proportions are wonky, and that rear elevation is godawful.
Inside, the hall and staircase are ugly and don't really fit the rest of the house. Sitting room is nice if you like the high ceilings (I do!), but putting a dining table in the left bit would be a better use of the space, and then you could have a smaller breakfast table in the kitchen and maybe some more storage. (Also, I really hope that's an auxiliary fridge over there and the real one is behind the press doors by the door…) Rest of the house is fine, though I'd have made the balcony in the second and especially the third bedroom a little bigger; why would you go with a useless little sliver of a balcony instead of one you could sit outside on and enjoy the views of the garden?
Sad to think there are people living in such places today. Heart would go out to them.
only 20 mins from sligo
The photographer should be shot, he made everywhere look dark and dingy.
Ugly exterior but painting the front door and windows would help brighten it up, the dark cladding too if possible.
Change the steel bannister on the stairs, it looks awful and I don't like the tiles in the hall. Paint the living room ceiling, there's too much wood between the ceiling and floor. Their furniture is awful too, it looks like the cheap leather stuff you get in rentals, it needs more furniture too to fill the room. It would be impossible to see the TV during the day with all the light coming in despite the huge, ugly TV.
I hate the kitchen units, especially the weird angled bit they stuck in instead of an island, and the stainless steel dishwasher, it should be integrated. I think it's big enough though but the fridge in the corner of the dining area throws everything off. The third bedroom ensuite doesn't have a window, a bathroom without a window is a huge nope for me, I'm not a fan of damp and mould. The garden needs more landscaping, there's too much bare grass.
It's another big house that the owners didn't know how to finish properly to make it a home. Overall, I'm not upset that I can't afford it.
The C1 ber rating seems low for a newbuild.
The hallway reminds me of the entrance hall of a leisure centre.
The kitchen has too much wood - very out of keeping in style with the rest of the house.
All the big rooms are very un-homely and the small homely rooms are unremarkable.
Also, the chair in pic 28 seems to have only 2 legs? Must cost a fortune but would be a pain and impossible to move around.
Those chairs and other furniture were a rage in the Wexford/Waterford/Kilkenny area about 20 years ago. A local guy in Kilkenny (I think) was making them. Agreed, you would need a forklift to move it, some of the pieces were lovely but totally impractical and not for everyone.
€79k for a 3 bed end of terrace house…in need of a lot of refurbishment of course but I've seen a lot worse on sale for more than that

Not seeing the third bedroom. No sign of it on the plans either, unless they're counting the shed.
Full restoration needed, including plumbing, electrics, new kitchen and bathroom. I'd say you wouldn't see much change out of €200k.
Not a great buy at all in my opinion.
Description clearly says "Two-bedroom end-of-terrace townhouse". I'd say its listed a 3 bedrooms house to capture people filtering by 3 bedrooms.
Although I'm sure the EA would say it was a 'genuine mistake'.
Jesus it looks bigger from the outside(first pic). But that could be the way the picture was taking. Like I grew up in a 3 bedroom terrace house but only had a front door and a sitting room window. That house has a door and two windows either side. But I suppose one bedroom in our house was called the box room as it was quite small.
Why so nasty? It's a lovely house with the owners personality injected into it. It's typical of the kind of style you see outside of Dublin and not caught up on current trends. The house is beautifully maintained which is the main thing.
It's just my opinion, that's the whole point of the thread. I'm sure plenty of people dislike my taste.
The house is what it is. However they've some train set!

That's what I like most about this thread, we all give our opinions, and they vary wildly but that's what makes it interesting!
It's one of those rare threads where posters can have completely different opinions and yet there's never any nastiness. We all just like looking at houses.
It would be so boring if we all loved / hated the same houses.
awh that’s very wholesome!!
been sold on the fair deal scheme.
I think that's the name of the estate agents

A 2 bed ex corporation house. It's a nice little house and well done but thought at 420k it was a bit steep but current bid stands at 560k. Housing market is mental.
