Ireland's Cheapest House! Just €30,000!

[@kalayne6713]

Now this one has potential. My mind is in overdrive over what could be done. Lots of money needed...again...but I can actually see this, with a verandah at the front, a tiny porch at the back, new wiring, plumbing, insulation, a kitchen and bathroom somewhere and a stunning garden. Excellent find.Good luck to whoever takes on this restoration.Just waiting for my farm to sell in Australia and I will be calling Ireland home. No heat, no drought, no bushfires, no snakes...bliss for my autumn years.

I love this cottage, sitting room is the first big room, bedroom is the orange/reddish room as the fireplace would keep people warm while they sleep, kitchen is room to the right as you walk in, lastly a bathroom in the lean-to in the back. Of course the little bed nook, would be filled with red checked pillows and all my kitties who want to be near a nice fire. I also pray to God that whomever bought it, will preserve it!

It is a part of history. I can’t believe someone was living in it right up to 2012! I’m sure it would be easy to get the history of the family for whoever buys the house, to have that background.

What a gem. That wee place deserves to be sympathetically renovated keeping the original features. It looks to be in sound condition. With that barn and outhouses as well its a bargain. If I was in the market for another place I would take to the road and head up to Mayo first thing in the morning and not come back till I had put in an offer. The biggest expense would be putting in a septic tank and maybe tiling the dairy roof but that could wait.

Reminds me of the "box bed" in the great Hitchcock classic, "The 39 Steps." I'd love to restore a place like that. It would surely welcome all the artistic endeavors I undertake. I would love to have an outbuilding for each! Pottery, Spinning on my spinning wheel, Fiber Dying and Weaving, Basketry, Painting, etc. Of course, my needlework (knitting, crochet, knotting, sewing, etc.) could be done in the main house, by the fire. I am, however, like a lot of artists...without funds to take on such a project. It is nice to dream, though. Should money be no object, I would take out all the old electric system and completely disguise a modern one, utilizing fixtures that date from the original period, modified to work with electricity. Otherwise, I would just take it back to original and go with simple, off-grid rustic living. I would certainly remove the cinderblock building and hay barn, perhaps replacing them with period buildings, if needed. Thanks for showing us this treasure!
