A window cleaners wet-dream! God that's one awful and ugly house.
Monstrosity. I'd live in the small garage/house before the big one.
Only thing I like is the avenue, I'd love an avenue
Whatever about the horrific design and roadkill on the floor, the half size snooker table is unforgivable.
the staircase to rule them all :
Kiljames House On Circa 10.91 Acres, Kiljames Lower, Thomastown, Co Kilkenny, R95DH36 is for sale on Daft.ie
Odd boundaries with this one:
Furness Hall, Johnstown, Naas, Co. Kildare - BidX1 Ireland Ltd - 4843784 - MyHome.ie Residential
In a normal housing market, the start of winter would be worst time of year to sell that ice box.
Good auld Ireland….
I see lots of comments on this thread about bad pics but this is the opposite. Pics make it look double its size (I've been in it). It's lovely, but very, very small. And also there's a new housing estate going up opposite the front door and headlights will be blazing in those windows constantly.
More like an office or hotel than a home really.
There's not many of these 'flashy' mansion type houses in Derry.

House was built probably not even 10 years ago and was an AirBnB for a while. Not sure what happened to the owners. Photo 27 looks like they have a fridge in the bathroom too…
Mmmm, I don't like it. Particularly the circular altar stairs part. The rest of it is boring apart from a couple of interesting windows. Outside is bit rubbish too. Definitely not for me! 😁
Price wouldn't be for me either tbf....
I agree. Some small things I'd change but overall it's really practical. I get the idea of keeping as many church features as you can but if you're to live there long term how practical would it be.
I love it, I have no problems with them losing a lot of the church specific features, I would rather live in a house.
The only things I don't like are the open risers on the stairs and the chairs on a plinth effect at the top of the stairs, otherwise I like the conversion and the way it is furnished.
Yeah, that came up before. I remember the staircase with no rail and how the bodies of the victims who fell from it could be buried in the graveyard it shares an entrance with...
Meh its nice, very easy to live in but I dont think its a great conversion. The outside is lovely but inside you wouldnt know it was ever a church. They seemed to have not worked with the internal features of the church at all. They made it a comfortable home but lost the features in doing that. Ive seen much better church conversions.
That's stunning wow
Here's another church conversation, not sure if posted before. Its one of the better ones

I'm getting American style "HOA" vibes from it alright.
The Residents Association sound like busybody PITA types.
Mentioning them in the sales pitch would put me right off!
It's likely a wreck, and the entire former garden is currently a building site for the aforementioned apartments and housing estate
That may be, but did you know -
"The Residents Association (MMRA) initiatives such as "Clean Up Day" and the "Tidy Roads" competition are actively supported."
So you can shell out close to €2 mill and head out of a Saturday morning to clean the building site / roads. Bargain.
This property remains in a presentable condition with the interiors in reasonable condition, however it is in need of refurbishment.
tl;dr: It's likely a wreck, and the entire former garden is currently a building site for the aforementioned apartments and housing estate (which is actually where they stole that first CGI rendering of the house from, ironically…).
Goodness, they made a hash of that. Its obvious to anyone that there is some codology with the photographs, which would put you off immediately. A bit of honesty would have got them a lot further.
Lisney, but looks like an advert from a small independent country agent or BidX, with the sale being forced. I wonder if they were not allowed in any further than the front hall.
Using CGI renderings from certain angles in the hope that you won't notice the houses & apartment blocks that have been recently built in the garden.

Strange ad for what should be a trophy house

Catriona Carey!
Lake obviously floods in winter as you can see the stains on the land surrounding it. Not really an issue just thought I'd point it out.
Featured in today's IT

Question: is there a name or special term for that awful habit of draping manky blankets/rugs over armchairs ?
The inside of that house is like looking into the inside of Catriona Careys soul.
My oul pairs house had none. Council house built early 70's in Dublin but we got it installed in the 90's when they were installing gas in the area.
My folks house - semi d in d15, was built in around 1975, with central heating.
