I would leave that house in tears. I would need to be forty years younger to clean it up, have four times the money to buy it, and be married to a builder to make it habitable. When my land sells in Australia, I dream of moving to Ireland, but not to somewhere like this.Its a museum installation not a home. €99,000 is not a steal, its robbery.
Welcome to the Irish property market - it's absolutely insane. Stay where you are if you have a house of your own, it's gold. Half of Ireland can't even afford to buy derelict properties right now😒
@@dogsbodygrooming Sadly, I don't own a house, only bushland that I don't have the money to build on. I don't care if I rent for the rest of my life, I am 70 and would like to make just one dream come true. And that dream is moving to Ireland where even if there is a housing shortage too, I won't have to live in fear of bushfires or snakes.Lose loved pets and nearly yourself, to fires and snakes and you may understand.

This house is so lovely. I hope someone buys it and restores it so it can become a home again. Thanks so much for this video. These always make me smile.
Thank you for sharing your joy with us. You are so lovely that watching your videos is like having a visit. I accidentally hit the dislike button, so sorry luv. I did like it too. Keep going you are doing amazing!! 😁
This place is so wonderful, it’s my dream to buy an old cottage like this and restore its former beauty. I have to say the distance from the road is a deal breaker for me but maybe I’m just trying not to be upset that its wayyy out of my price range😂 It make so sad to think that the new owner might ignorantly throw the history of this house into the skip, or knock it entirely! Such a gorgeous little place, I’d love to uncover all its secrets❤️
Hey, Maggie, know of a forgotten grande house, needing lots of care and repair, in the Sligo area. Under $100, 000. If not, a fine hotel in Sligo would be appreciated for a two week stay, while visited friends in mid-winter, in beautiful Ireland...e
I`m impressed with your honesty , leaving the plates and all . however , that old painting of the Saint , in the closet , would be a temptation for me .
I enjoy your videos so much! The info on the big fireplace is so interesting. I always wonder who have lived there and why as it been left like that with this furniture inside. Hope the people who’ll buy will try and restore it to its former glory. Your enthusiasm is contagious!🙂
The upstairs area could easily be made more livable by adding dormer windows facing the backyard. Heck, I'd put a dormer across the entire backside of the roof, that way the front elevation would still look authentic.
That’s totally true. It had also never been extended and with the huge amount of land to the back you could easily put up a small extension. Under 40sq meters is even exempted from requiring planning permission as far as I’m aware 😱
Did this house sell? When I first saw your video displaying this home I ABSOLUTELY fell in Love. My imagination went wild with renovations, keeping the aesthetics of the home, just bringing a bit of modernization…It has been 1 year and I’m still in Love, I wish I could buy in Ireland, but I’m from the States (California)…If you could please update I would very much appreciate it. Thank you so very much…🌻
The fireplace is typical of houses in England and Wales and possibly Scotland too. And the fireplace ornaments are found all over UK too. The dressing table is lovely.
Oh my mind would immediately wander back to all the people have lived ,loved cooked ,celebrated, cried etc in this lovely cottage If walls could talk. ..
What a gorgeous wee house. I hope it's restored rather than modernised. I hate it when people rip the soul out of a place. Small rooms are perfect for keeping warm and ( apart from books!) we amass far too much stuff anyhow. I would love it .
4:19 In the U.S. that "dresser" would be called a china cabinet. You can see the cup hooks under the highest shelf, the drawers would hold one's silverware and the cabinets underneath the plates, saucers and bowls.
That metal “cupboard” in the room behind the stairs looked like an old meat safe, from the days before fridges. The holes at the sides for ventilation. While you were there you could ‘ chuir an citíl theart “. 😃👍
There was a small one on the North facing wall of my Grandmother’s house. I can barely remember it. I think milk would be put there too to try stop it going off.
That road is literally lined with cottages. It’s full to the brim of family homes. I think this one seemed so noisy because it had the front door wide open to let in light so I could film. And the glass was broken in some of the windows. A bit of double glazing and you’d be sorted 👍🏻
I wouldn't have looked twice at this house from outside, but the inside is so full of colour and character, it's a lovely little house ❤
i too think its beautiful. with a few weeks of hard work, and not a lot of money it could be a lovely place to live in.
Love the challenge of these old places. Discovering how to put your own stamp on the place without destroying its character.
The only thing better than seeing an authentic old Irish home like this is listening to you get all excited about them
I love Ireland I went back to school to be a nurse hopefully after that I will move to Ireland 🇮🇪

not at all, put glass in the windows, lash on the paint , buy some beer , light the fire and you,d be grand.shur people does be too fussy nowadays.
@@jpmcmotor6890 I agree with your sentiments entirely. How does it go again? K.I.S.S 😏

The metal cupboard is a food safe , the old equivalent of a fridge. I think 99,000 is a lot for that when you think it needs practically rebuilding !
Agree but the price is more for the land/location. Sounds like a lot of traffic so any business would do well.
It must be off a busy road. You can hear the cars.
This house is so lovely. I hope someone buys it and restores it so it can become a home again. Thanks so much for this video. These always make me smile.
As much as I love seeing these houses, the treasure hunts are so fun. I learn something everytime.
Hi 👋 Lorraine, how are you doing?
Thank you for sharing your joy with us. You are so lovely that watching your videos is like having a visit.

Love the fireplace. I love the antiques. I’d like to go on Vacation & hang out with you & do this. Such character.
Thank you for showing what I will never be able to see. 🇺🇸
Thank you again for the bargains you find lovely little place❤💚💙
Looks like one of the old land Commission houses. Built back in the 1880's.

I've been wondering about you. Where have you been, lately? Glad to see you're back.
Hi 👋 Evelyn, how was your weekend?
I’m so happy this showed up on my feed! New follower from Canada! I love the charm of this cottage.
I've always wondered how to cook on a fire like that! So interesting. Thanks for sharing 😁
put the spuds in tin foil, horse them onto the fire, lorryload on the butter. i tells ya- theres nothin tastier!
Lovely.the fireplace is really cool.thanks Maggie.
Sounds like an awfully busy road outside. That would be a huge con for me.
probably a one lane dirt road , originally . she might have the front door wide open . dual glazed windows would help .
That house has every thing needed. It would have been nice to see the land.

I'm always wondering as the abandoned houses look as if the folks just got up in the morning, left and never came back.
Thank you for the tour! Your laugh is just like my old friend Mary Desmond from Co Cork, knew her late 70’s Los Gatos CA.
I`m impressed with your honesty , leaving the plates and all . however , that old painting of the Saint , in the closet , would be a temptation for me .
It would be nice to live somewhere where you keep the front door closed with a piece of string.
I enjoy your videos so much! The info on the big fireplace is so interesting. I always wonder who have lived there and why as it been left like that with this furniture inside. Hope the people who’ll buy will try and restore it to its former glory. Your enthusiasm is contagious!🙂
I know this house! What a little gem just need to win the lotto! 😂😂
The upstairs area could easily be made more livable by adding dormer windows facing the backyard. Heck, I'd put a dormer across the entire backside of the roof, that way the front elevation would still look authentic.
Those windows would be perfect as replacement doors for the bottom of that old dresser/cabinet! 😍 I really hope it will be saved!!
I Iive in Cottage when I was Small there was no sitting room and three beds no inside toilet and 6 people here .❤
Very close to a busy street!
I live in Eire. There are lots of properties.
Where’s this lady gone?
Love your house tours!!!
That back bedroom could be transformed into a perfect bathroom and you could squeeze in a washer & dryer, too!
That’s totally true. It had also never been extended and with the huge amount of land to the back you could easily put up a small extension. Under 40sq meters is even exempted from requiring planning permission as far as I’m aware 😱
Did u get the lampshades!!?
I did not. ☹️
The stairs you went up looked new

Home sweet home, indeed. I hope this place doesn't get remuddled. So surprising that the fireplace still has its original trammel hook.
Thank you so much: that was incredible, indeed....
No plumbing?😳 how do you hook up water and sewer? Lovely little cottage, lots of potential!
You are so charming! Love your channel. Would it be possible to do a photo of the land the houses sit on? Thanks for the video.
4:19 In the U.S. that "dresser" would be called a china cabinet. You can see the cup hooks under the highest shelf, the drawers would hold one's silverware and the cabinets underneath the plates, saucers and bowls.
It might be a cupboard or a hutch but a china cabinet is a grander piece. They have those in Ireland too 🙂
@@myopinion4600 - I think hutch is more accurate. Interesting house though. There didn't seem to be a bathroom. Did I miss that?
@@wickedcabinboy maybe outdoors?
@@myopinion4600 - That's a bit too much like camping for my taste.
That metal “cupboard” in the room behind the stairs looked like an old meat safe, from the days before fridges. The holes at the sides for ventilation. While you were there you could ‘ chuir an citíl theart “. 😃👍
I never new that’s what those little presses were for. Thanks so much for sharing the knowledge!
There was a small one on the North facing wall of my Grandmother’s house. I can barely remember it. I think milk would be put there too to try stop it going off.
Has anyone bought an old school I'd love to buy an old 2 room national school
I absolutely love your videos my lovely x
Spooky!
Great wee cottage as a project but the location is terrible! So much traffic

Cute cottage. Its on the main Tralee to Listowel road. Have often driven past & wondered what it was like inside.
My grandparents were from Listowel and i visited Ireland and stayed in Listowel. I love Ireland! ☘
