that little house looks like it was last done up in the 70s. I would strip all that back and make it look modern/traditional, if that makes sense? I well recall my darling Irish Granny's house in Co. Limerick.. just like this in size and externals and a small holding attached. She brought up 11 children there.. all lived good productive lives. Myself, now 67 and many of my cousins spent time there was children down the years. I was one of the youngest. She had a donkey, chickens and pigs. i recall the farmer who lived down the road, old Pappy.. never married, and was so lonely he had a drink problem. Having said that everyone adored him and he was so kind. I would go there to see any animals he was rearing.. be it kittens high up in the hay loft, bonnives (not sure of the spelling) born to the pigs or whatever.. milk churns at the gate waiting to be collected by the creamery or being hoisted aloft onto his huge cart horse. Magical times with absolutely wonderful people who enriched my childhood holidays no end. I once got up at day light to go to the outside lavatory and on coming out had the fright of my life. Pappy had brought the herd down the lane and back then the front didnt have a wall around the house.. I was petrified. He came along and hoisted me up in his arms and placed me back in the doorway of the house. Some say he was so sad and lonely because his twin brother committed suicide when they were 21.. a sadly frequent occurrence in country places. Recently, that house, my grandparents was sold. i couldn't afford to buy it whilst I till live here in the UK and here was no appetite to pool money with the cousins. definitely nostalgia for a by-gone age on my part... not like i could or would recreate it like a museum.. Just made it modern/country ad comfortable - reinstate the big open fire for one thing. My Grandfather bought the house in around 1908 and his new bride moved in two years later upon their marriage. They lost an infant child, their first, lost a boy of 25 to a horse cart accident in Rugby, England and hosted Eamon de Valera, a family friend. He turned up unexpected in a small cavalcade of cars in around 1937 when my Dad was around 13. He and his two nearest in age brothers were messing around playing and saw it from a hill.. and ran down to see what the cars were all about.. His protection men were out in the lane. The boys ran in to see Dev swinging my grannie around and saying, 'ah. Molly, as beautiful as you ever were.' Dad got the impression Dev had stayed in the cottage at some point.. probably safe houses during the fighting. Also the black and tans raided the cottage during the fighting.. smashed up their furniture, brutalised my pregnant grannie and beat up my grandfather.. looking for firearms.. Grandad was a volunteer. I was sad, but realistic that the old place finally, after 103 years, went out of my family's hands. I would give anything for just one more breakfast time there, eating her homemade soda bread, eggs from her hens, fresh as can be, boiled.. and smelling the aromatic smell of the roaring peat/turf fire.. whatever way you call it as she fussed around us all, smiling all the time. She was lovely. That smell.. so hard to describe but never forgotten. and the hand pump in the kitchen, prone to failure so buckets were taken down to the farm for water until they got it going again. lol. Large buckets, on the back of the donkey car. As I said.. all long gone times now and only still going in the early 60s when Grannie died because she was around her mid 80s at the time and obviously in no position, nor found it necessary, to change the living habits of a lifetime. Ireland is a modern country now of course and more prospects for people. These little cottages always come with a little bit of land as you can see here. Beautiful.
Love the wood bug not yhe wallpaper. Weird little rooms that you would have to sort out and rearrange furniture. House is small but would be lovely for 2 people.
A nice setting of a country cottage, but you need a good blast of paint to drown that suffocating knotty pine - somebody thought it was lovely back in the day - even seeing on the ceilings - ugh ! It could be a lovely home but obviously was an old person's final place of living with that toilet installation left there - get rid of that it makes the place feel instantly yucky !
My goodness, if knotty pine is not your personal aesthetic, you'd have a awful lot of painting ahead of you. The house itself is quite cute although very isolated and extremely small and outdated inside. Nothing that couldn't be fixed however. Thank you.... I'm appreciative all real estate videos as there is always something interesting to see or learn from them.

Too much .Wind yourself in FFS.You think people care about your Gran lol
Our interest may be piqued, but the lack of details will make us move on.
What’s this? Rental, for sale? What’s the price?…..????

I love the wood. Absolutely adore this house.

Looks lovely on the outside.
How much is it and where is it thanks
Beautiful outside but not me inside
I know right... All that wood.. I lost interest lol
I would just paint over a lot of that wood. It seems to be in good shape and just needs cosmetic changes.
well no.. It was obviusly 'modernised' in the 70s.. even the cooker is a relic from the 70s. No one expects anyone to move in without renovating.
Sehr hübsches Haus...aber zuviel an Holz verbaut..
Aber ansonsten schöne Raumaufteilung

Schon Garten.
Lovely
Adorable!

Too much wood paneling makes for a "campy" look...
