its the absolute image of it, screaming out to become a Father Ted theme park.
Tunnel of goats and a spider baby !
Not here, but across the pond. Stunning converted reservoir building. Not a silly reserve on it either.

Wow! I thought it would be really dark inside but that is stunning.
Wasn’t that featured on one of George Clark’s programmes?
it might be really dark inside, to be fair; those photos were taken on a bright day and you can do a lot with photoshop.
but it's a great conversion.
Dunno, I don't watch tv.
Me want. If that courtyard is south or west facing it would be lovely. Sheltered from the wind and not overlooked obviously. (On the move now can check layout later)
The double enclosed is south facing and the one with chairs is west facing.
I wonder how much it will go for at auction. It’s very nice, and "built like a brick shithouse", like my old man used to say.
A fine house. Don't know if its nearly 4 million fine though.
Is that a second kitchen? The one with the washing machine?
edit: Never mind it is.
Photo 30, why even bother , what's it covereing up

Church conversion opportunity in Belfast. Location wise, it's right between the Falls and Shankhill, so not ideal in that sense, but it's 15 mins walk from the city centre.
"We have been informed by the present owners that "If you intend to use the premises for any purpose other than as a Church", you must obtain written consent from the Transferor, as per covenant of the Transfer."
Not entirely sure what the previous owner can do once you've bought the place though?
Presumably it's a condition of the sale.
Alternatively, the former owner is technically God, and if you go turning His church into a swanky bachelor pad or a fancy pub or something without His OK, that's gonna be a smiting…
From Google;
“A property covenant is a legally binding written agreement or "rule" attached to a property's title deeds. It dictates what a property owner can or cannot do with their land, typically established by a previous owner or developer to preserve the area's character or protect shared amenities. [1, 2]Covenants usually "run with the land," meaning they apply indefinitely and bind all future owners, not just the person who originally agreed to them. “ Probably wouldn’t want something like The Burke cult moving in.
Could also be that it's still consecrated and the church would want to deconsecrate it if it's to be used for a secular purpose.
They can be overturned, but seemingly at high court level so would not be a cheap option.
I did chuckle at the 'unlimited potential' claim by the EA which is followed by 'potential is exceptionally limited' caveat.

the wide angle photos does the bedrooms no favours.

Ireland's most expensive house sale so far this year, €15.5 million (so far!!)

To be used as a holiday home, essentially?
Unless the family is planning to relocate. Maybe they'll put it on Airbnb.
Just sell it for a decade and watch the millions come rolling in! That's some return.
my favourite house, walk past it often, its something else!
Judging by the Israel flags and other signs then they'd possibly be welcome as this was most likely an evangelical branch.
Oh I enjoyed browsing through that, will go back and have another look later. (While imagining how many times my house would fit into it. 😁)
I used to know a lad whose family owned it. He had numerous stories, such as a family member falling through a hole in the ballroom floor, when in disrepair. It has changed hand multiple times since. One of the MMI Stockbroker partners owned it at one stage, he died and it was discovered a lot of money was owed...
