Nicest-looking house in Ireland?

[Deleted User]

1. Tara Hall, Howth, Co. Dublin

For years I've been amazed by that old pile on the cliff facing Lambay Island on the Balscadden Road in Howth (it was in the Dulux ad back in the 1980s/early 90s)

2. Ghan House, Carlingford, Co. Louth

Then I came across Ghan House in the medieval town of Carlingford. It just took my breath away. It was built in 1727 and it just seems timeless. So peaceful and so classy. This is my dream home, even a smaller version of it.

3. The Cottage, Ballintoy Harbour, Co. Antrim

This cottage in the stunning Ballintoy Harbour near the Glens of Antrim also is in my top ten houses in Ireland. Can't find much about it online, but I could have stayed there forever as it was so peaceful.

What's the nicest-looking house you've seen in Ireland? (with photos)

The big house on the NCR ...

Nice looking house or house in a nice place?

For the latter, a house in Connemara is a good bet.

Michael Flatley's mansion on the Blackwater in Co.Cork is pretty savage

Any house looks great when it's sunny out.

Don't know about overall nicest but I noticed some amazing houses in Cavan of all places

When I grow up I'm going to live in this house.

It's even called Sunnyside

Whoopsy, your gaff is my favourite. The views are stunning, how could you wake up to that and not be happy? Can I come too? Can I? Can I?

There was a nice one in Sorrento Terrace.

And only €10.5 million too...

I think its more the location than anything that makes it so nice.

Since I was a young lad on the day trips up to Dublin to this day I'm still in awe of no 22 Westmorland st it's no to everyone's taste and it's a pity the rest of the buildings around are fairly non descript but if I were a supper villan I'd have to live here http://archiseek.com/2010/1894-no-22-westmoreland-street-dublin/

Absolutely. I'm putting a hottub on the balcony. Bring a bikini. Or don't. Whatevs. Not like the neighbours will be looking in.

Which is surprising as there's plenty of tomb for one!

God that's bad, sorry!

Not sure it counts as a house: The Summerhouse overlooking the Dargle at Johnny Ronan's place near Bray, Co. Wicklow.

Also known as the Goulding Summerhouse after the original owner. Not to be confused with the similar looking gaff that housed the Ferrari in Ferris Bueller's Day Off!
