Goes to show how fucked up the housing market is, if that house is asking six figures.
It's interesting; you usually don't see the truly cavernous McMansion rooms around here very often, but these folks have absolutely nailed it. A truly ridiculous waste of space all around.
Look at this house, look at the room built into the cliff edge!

It would be nice if they showed a picture inside that room on the cliff.
They do.
i think they did - the photo showing the room with the guitar. clearly faces the sea, and the window size looks about right.
So they do. That's what I get for going through the pictures too quickly.
How do you access it though?
There's a little staircase in the garden.
This Tiktok video shows it fairly well.

To be fair that's a slick video and a bit of effort from the agent , obviously don't know the market but it is a lovely house
I love this. The cliff room would suit me as an office space.
Or if you had a kid who wanted to learn drums….
My only real gripe is the huge cupboard in the kitchen. Takes up to much space, would there be room for stools at the island?
This looks nice assuming that it doesn't disappear into the sea in a few years!

This card was dropped in my letterbox today - I know the house, and couldn't believe the price, so checked it out - it's 2 bedroom, and €575K…..
They went to all the trouble of printing those up and posting them all around the area, without even proof-reading….. 🙄
That's one estate agent off my list if I ever decide to sell up!
Are attics normally included in floor space?
It's floored and furnished as a room - wouldn't have the head height to be listed as a bedroom though.
If they've been converted correctly, according to regs, I've seen them listed.
Friends of mine saved (IIRC) 30k on a house they bought maybe 10 years ago; the 'converted' attic was listed in the floor space, and declared as a bedroom. The survey revealed it hadn't been converted properly, so they reduced their offer by 30k which the seller accepted. My friends were more than happy, they had not envisaged using it as anything other than storage anyway.
I'm guessing that big cupboard has the fridge in it. Possibly one of those monster American style ones.
https://www.daft.ie/for-sale/bungalow-monksland-carlingford-co-louth/5466499 - I really like the interior design, other than the grey paint. It's really too dark for how little natural light the house gets. Probably a tad overpriced as well?
on another note, i didn't know daft took ads from private sellers?
Oh my goodness that's gorgeous!
I suspect the photography doesn't do it justice at all, I'd love to see it with my own eyes. I'd say it's not half a gloomy as it looks. I'm not sure I'd have quite that much dark grey all over, but I love the reception rooms and kitchen.
If I was looking in that region, I'd happily pay that (compared to the 2-bed terrace with no garden and north facing rear that I posted up thread for €575K 😱)
I think a lot of us here will know exactly what NOT to allow an EA to do or say when selling our houses… including putting up dodgy photos !
I really dislike the interior and the dark paint, but that could be remedied with lots of white paint and new furniture.
In true Kirsty Allsopp fashion, I would want to knock out the wall between the kitchen and dining room and open it up (if it wasn't load bearing).
However for me, the bedrooms are far too small and narrow and would be a deal breaker. Along with the BER F.
(eta) this is the cutest thing about this house:
A converted shipping container on Arranmore island for 115k. Nice view, but buyer must be a fan of pine and planning issues.
https://www.campbells.ie/arranmore-island-donegal/969238
Why are they showing plans of a larger residence? Showing what could be done if so why the hell.
A holiday box for 115k.
To put that into context, you could stay in a 5 star hotel in the same area for 2 weeks every year for 30 years for the same price.
From the EA blurb:
It is important to note that planning permission has been granted for an extension to same in order to comply with regulations and that in its current form, it does not comply and no further documentation regarding same will be supplied.
Attached plans illustrate the property in its current form and also in its proposed form.
Its not really comparable to the shipping container house on Grand Designs, is it…
and here is another project by the same Architect…
Basically your buying a compliance problem.
you're buying a site. no-one is going to buy that for the property that's on it.
Retention planning permission refused 2020. Applied again in 2021, but withdrawn.
You're buying a field, with little hope of getting planning.
