That's stunning wow
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.
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...
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.
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.
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....
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…
More like an office or hotel than a home really.
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.
In a normal housing market, the start of winter would be worst time of year to sell that ice box.
Good auld Ireland….
Odd boundaries with this one:
Furness Hall, Johnstown, Naas, Co. Kildare - BidX1 Ireland Ltd - 4843784 - MyHome.ie Residential
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
Whatever about the horrific design and roadkill on the floor, the half size snooker table is unforgivable.
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
A window cleaners wet-dream! God that's one awful and ugly house.
I said to meself that has to have "architecturally designed" in the blurb and there it is.. Because everything else is designed by an octopus with frequent seizures??
I've never seen a stingray fur mat before.
Way too much pine,would have to be removed or painted.
The house in Kilkenny, the office has two of the cheapest and most uncomfortable chairs to sit on.
Maybe that's why the business went so badly wrong. No?
The interior of this house takes me back to 1980's Ireland with the dreaded theme tune of Glenroe on a Sun night signalling the end of the weekend. The red carpet in the bedroom gives off "The Shining" vibes…
Conaill, Clara Road, Tullamore, Co. Offaly, R35WV12 is for sale on Daft.ie
It's odd how they never modernised it over the years. My parents house has gone through a few changes in 25 years. They moved(well we as I was living we them back then) 25 years ago to the house they are in now.
Goodness me, that's a bit of a museum piece! The sink with splashback in the bedroom - we had the same but in yellow in our house.
over the course of buying two houses, i saw quite a few places more dated than that!
But it's the completeness of the datedness - not a single thing modern (except maybe the telly, and even that's about 10 years old by the looks of it which is ancient these days!)
I'd love to know how you're meant to use the wardrobes in this bedroom…..
I had to go into a neighbour's house years ago when she was in hospital and the alarm was going off - honestly it was the most complete 1950s/60s display I've ever seen - everything immaculate, and everything absolutely ancient. I was nearly going to contact the Museum of Country Life to go and have a look!
Sadly she died a few years ago, the house was bought and gutted and a very nice job done on it - but I often think fondly back to how it was.
It looks like someone was waxing their full back, sack and crack in the living room.
A quarter of a million for 33 sqm. Things really are fecked.
Whilst the garden is in a bit of a state, someone loved and looked after the interior of that house. I'd say a family was raised in that house and now it's an executor sale. Always a little bit sad when these time capsules come onto the market.
This has so much potential. It actually seems like good value. The location is excellent. A few miles from Naas, you have Kill down the road for quick groceries and you're out in some lovely countryside.
The house with The Staircase - I immediately had visions of a couple of deliverymen taking a kingsize mattress up one side, then trying to manoevre round that titchy corner in the middle and the first guy going backwards down the other side of the stairs. Its an abomination.
