Agree, there is a lot I really like about the interior of that house, but the exterior doesn't appeal to me.
Another 1970's time capsule…
Glenogue, Charleville Road, Tullamore, Co Offaly, R35WT78 is for sale on Daft.ie
And the asking price is now 135K. Crazy
i was thinking it might have been some high end airbnb sort of development?
lots of processing has gone into those photos too. some unusual/artificial light effects visible. more than just an estate agent with a cheap digital camera.
So people dont piss all over the seat and then a woman has to sit down on it.
Whats the point of having urinals in your house? So both can go at the same time? 🤨
Lovely views, I'm not that big a fan of the house for some reason…
Love that.
I've never seen a urinal in a house before 😂
stunning house but I do not like the urinals.
On a common theme as the price of the house in Newport, you don't see too many homes breaking the €1.5m mark in Sligo or even close. Not fond of the outside look of the house but the interior and the views from it are beautiful. Love the big picture windows. If I had €1.8m I'd seriously consider it 🤣

It seems they own excl rights for the river itself, from the description:
"Celebrated as a premier fishing centre, Newport House holds exclusive fly-fishing rights to the internationally acclaimed Black Oak River, spanning 8 miles along both banks, as well as to the pristine Lough Beltra West, a breathtaking lake stretching 3 miles by 1 mile.The fishery boast a thriving population of wild Spring Salmon, Grilse and Seatrout, offering an exceptional experience for anglers. The preservation of its wild fish stock adds to the prestige of this house and idyllic location."
I had a joint 30th birthday party in a house about twice the size, nearly 20 years ago. About 200 years old. Over three nights of a cold march weekend, as well as the seven sacks of firewood burned, we used €300 in heating oil heating the place.
I would Imagine it's because they own the river frontage or something like that. Rights to fish from their own land. Doesn't sound outrageous to me, but I don't know anything about fishing rights!!
More than likely to be purchased and used commercially, there was an excellent restaurant there before. It's probably a bit small for a (even a small) wedding venue unless serious work was done internally and externally.
Wouldn't completely rule out a private purchase from some mega wealthy fishing fanatic, as it comes with fishing rights and I think it's a prime spot for salmon fishing.
Clearly For the small country hotel/wedding venue market. Can't imagine anyone paying that for a private home in Newport. Lovely old pile.
According to the info and afair the monthly heating bill is around 450.
Not too many houses in the €2.5m+ category in the West. This has entered the market to rival the much talked about Blue Salmon house from a few weeks back.

There's a lad 30 mins away in Kanturk does exactly that.
There's what looks like and old mill house on the property and a ready-made mill race.
Would be a lot less intrusive than wind or solar.
May even be a grant for it.

Domestic hydro doesn't get as much research/innovation as wind and solar because there are not as many people living beside rivers so the options are still relatively limited and wind/solar have seen better advances in efficiency in recent years
You’d need the heating on 24/7 in winter. I wonder could you harness the river for power?
Feck, I may hide this from my missus. She'd sell her spleen, kidneys (both of them) etc. for that place. She'd probably sell mine n'all.
Agree with this. You spend 100k on retrofitting to A1 (A1 in a 200 year old house, I'm not seeing it). Thats before you do any other repairs. If you had maybe 2 -3 k to spend on renovations I'd say that's what you would spend. The house doesn't particularly appeal to me but the grounds and outbuildings - on 20 acres - are gorgeous.
The problem with those kinds of places is that when you go renovating, you are very likely to find a raft of problems you weren't expecting. It needs a new roof at a minimum. You can see damp in one of the pics and the roof is sagging.
Looks ok for the money though. It reminds me of the art studio in the Hugh Wallace programme a few weeks ago. That was bought for around the same money as this but I think she ended up spending over €200k doing it up, and that was with cheap finishes etc.
Love this one, not overly expensive for what you’re getting. https://www.myhome.ie/residential/brochure/dannanstown-house-shanballymore-co-cork/4911846

Think you get a lot for the money here, seems good value
I'm guessing they're referring to this mezzanine in the Leitrim house
Which property has Juliet balcony? Can't make sense of what you are saying as none of them have the feature of late. Are you talking about a mezzanine or a regular balcony
If I decided to ever move to Leitrim, that is somewhere that I’d find appealing. It looks like it might have featured on the cover of one of those Enid Blyton books I read years ago.
I can tell you from experience that a juliette balcony like that creates a cold airstream through the house - heat from downstairs goes up and settles at the top of the house, pushing the lower level cold air downstairs. It means you have to completely heat the entire house to the desired temperature. Putting it over the stove like that guarantees that you will not feel the benefit of that stove at all.

Great for someone looking to freeze to death
That Leitrim house has a very twee interior, a D1 BER suggests it's a 90s build or earlier.
