Ithink that's the first time I've seen a four poster bath!
And I'd hate to be rushing down the stairs in a hurry in my socks 😱
the problem is ripping out all that wood and making good what's revealed would be a six figure job easily.
Plywood and mdf not great firewood.
Edit, kidding
OMG, it just kept getting worse, even the light fittings are all wooden!!!
i wonder are the fire extinguishers wooden.
it’s hard to see the trees from the wood..
The lights in that Kildare home - I've never seen anything like that before. I wouldn't necessarily want any of them but I thought they were interesting. I think maybe they might be more suited in a ranch style home.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, and it's not even Christmas yet.
This was a "tack room" for a stable yard, so a glorified stable. And the person lucky enough to rent it had better be OK with it being an active yard. "Please note it does open directly onto the Stable Yard so tenant would have to be comfortable with Horses and Dogs."
BER exempt, electric heaters, and single glaze windows. You'd need to have the stove going 24/7 to keep any decent temperature.

How could you live with those saddle yokes sticking out of the wall (I assume that's what they are)? You could do yourself an injury on the lower ones. Not the worst I have seen on the whole, though 1.5k a month is pushing it.
They're a "feature".
I notice how they moved the sofa to photograph the kitchen area to make it look bigger.
in one photo they've a chair placed directly under one of them!
€1.5k/m to live outside Drogheda, roughly 200m from the M1 and have dogs and horses at any hour of the day.
Good auld Ireland…
and all the electrical sockets/switches in the wall?
No cooker or washing machine?
Unless they're under the hideous cloth covering (which I'm pretty sure would be dangerous).
And no tv (or aerial - which mightn't work as it's under a tree judging by the leaves on the roof) or broadband.
Probably comes with the original washing facilities of the manor
I'm thinking the hob should be at the right hand side of the run of kitchen "cabinets" where there's a square cut out, but there looks to be something, likely to be the washing machine directly underneath it! Either that or they'll supply one of the plug in camping ones.
It's absolutely tiny, and the mirror on the bedroom door to make it look bigger too.
Handy noose at the crying hanging chair.
And even handier mirror behind the bed …
It's not BER exempt either, they didn't bother to get one done, probably because it's not compliant with building regs.
Chancers.
That looks like an old dresser with the top cut off and curtains added where the doors and drawers should be.
The square cut out of the counter top is where I imagine the hob should have gone. But they decided to add a material fire hazard instead.
Actually the main building is on the protected structures register so likely the outbuildings are BER exempt. It's advertised as a "unique opportunity to live in the beautiful grounds of Kilsharvan House" But yeah, handy way of putting in zero effort into insulation. I'd say it would be freezing.
The ad just says the BER isn't verified, the estate agent clearly can't be bothered to put any effort into it as someone will be desperate enough to take it.
If that was my only option of somewhere to live, I’d just get a flight to somewhere warm and worry about everything else when I get there. Grim, one of the most grim places I’ve seen for sale or rent and that includes the flat in Drumcondra where it looked like the hot press had been converted into a bedroom.
That's so depressing looking. The first photo of it, from outside was nearly enough for me. I could feel the cold of it, just glancing through the photos. Grim, overall.
Why is the toilet at the back door? 😥

easiest place to plumb into the main drain, i'd imagine. Whole extension looks DIY and probably doesn't have planning.
Those pipes certainly have a look of DIY about them alright
Old houses that were built before an indoor plumbed toilet was a thing.
The toilet was a later addition, so didn't want to be trying to bring plumbing into the house.
I bet the water freezes in that toilet bowl and cistern in winter.
Extension needs to be knocked, stripped back to bare outer walls and reconfigured inside, rewired, replumbed, new extension, new windows and doors, insulation etc. It would be a very expensive small terraced house with no garden.
House could be a bit of a Backed Alaska!
