thank you for letting us have this honest view at it, not trying to mask anything. i can imagine it being a bit much to handle but who would not fall in love with that beautiful interior

To a smaller cottage in Corlough, Cavan.

Is this your home its lovely

@@michealkelly4933 yes, it's my home, thanks x

[@paulaniclinseach8672]

That cottage is not far from me, I'm 10 mins from Corry strand but it's not that remote as in the nearest village is Dowra on the Cavan/leitrim border which has a fully stocked Spar supermarket & a pub/restaurant, it's sufficient for all your needs but far enough away to enjoy the peace! The Spar also stocks hard ware items and paint so you'd rarely need to go to Carrick on Shannon, once you have a car nothing is hard to find here in the wild West! It's a beautiful part of Ireland lovely Leitrim, anyone who buys this cottage won't regret it😀

[@Tinkerbelle610]

Yes, it's only 5 minutes from Dowra where you can get all necessities plus a post office.

I lived in Ireland back in 1985-1995 and had the chance to buy a beautiful fixer up cottage for about 10,000. I never did and now regret it. My wish is to return and buy one which is much smaller to handle but remote like this. I am getting on in years but still think it is manageable. I just ran into your channel and will continue to watch for more inspiration. Thank you!💕 Slainte!

[@slowandsimplelivingdiaries]

This cottage is absolutely beautiful and so dreamy. I've never been to Ireland but I think that's kind of what I always had in mind when I thought about "a cottage in Ireland". I wish I could purchase it right now!

That is just beautiful, I can only dream of living in a paradise like this..I wish every happiness to whoever decides to buy this grand place.☘

[@jonh1958]

I'm enjoying this mini series. The fact that this cottage is in good condition, has outbuildings and internet connection should make it a very easy option for a lot of people starting out. Yes, it needs some work to realise its full potential but I think that will allow the new owner to put their mark on it.

[@joannadavis6716]

This is a beautiful stone cottage and piece of land. I can think of all sorts of possibilities for the property. Sadly, I am 77 and could not live that remotely. If I were 20 years younger, I would love to buy this holding.

Your delivery to camera is incredible, you are such a natural. Loved having a look at this place :)

[@philipdavis7521]

It is an interesting building as that quality of stone work is rare in Ireland for a small cottage of the period - rubble work was far more common. It does not look to me like a schoolhouse, my guess is that it would have been the cottage for a trusted retainer for the local big landowner. That area was also surprisingly industrialised in the early 19th Century (coal at Arigna, and lots of good pottery/brick clay), so it may have been associated with one of the workers, possibly someone from Britain as the architecture isn’t particularly vernacular. It’s close to Spencer harbour, which was a mini local industrial area - the lake and rivers/canals allowed access all over Ireland and direct to Dublin and Belfast. This was not a remote area 200 years ago! It was very connected once the canals had been finished by the late 18th Century.

[@MossyBottom]

I appreciate your insight Philip. :)

[@eamonhannon1103]

Excellent and very interesting comment . It would be very interesting to find out the history of these cottages . This would help bring them alive . Maybe there are local local historians who could team up with Daniel to research the history and Daniel could then include the history in his videos .

[@Zhenn9413]

What fun to watch these video tours! I know I will never move to Ireland but one can dream. As an American I find your use of the term “remote” to describe these locations charming. Here remote means it takes the sheriff an hour or more to respond to a call for help. Anyway, thanks for the great videos! You seem to enjoy making them as much as we like watching.

[@sujammaz]

i'm so happy that you're continuing this series, it's the perfect blend of wholesome, educational and relatable ! and it really shows how much you enjoy making it :) i hope this lovely property (those thick exposed walls inside are just to die for) gets a really happy owner soon

Another excellent, clear-eyed view of a beautiful property. The mosh pit made me chuckle.

[@the925lady]

I live near San Francisco, California. Traffic, high prices, high stress, high crime, severe drought, low quality food and pollution. I cried myself to sleep last night. My kids and I talk about how nice it would be to move to Ireland. This cottage is so sweet, the pros would make the cons look like nothing. I would love to hear the birds and rain instead of the freeway and ambulances.

[@IPman77]

These videos are great, there's no one else out there doing this and you answer every question I would ask. Top work!!

[@mieszkoherburt354]

Because of the low ceiling in that cottage, the rooms heat up very quickly. Energy efficiency. In Poland standard height of the ceilings was 3.5m - 4m. It become very popular lowering that ceilings to average 2,4 m. that can generate 40/60% savings on hitting cost. After August 15 temperature at night can drop in Poland to around 50F.

[@lindafirth1562]

I love your take on these properties - very practical and honest. 2 years ago I would probably taken a serious look but, given all the restrictions and potential supply problems, the current timing is too problematic for me to make that jump to Ireland. Plus, having spent most of 2020 and 2021 trapped in doors, I'm not sure how I'd cope without the occasional human interaction! I've already started going a bit loopy. Please don't stop though as they are lovely to watch. x

[@emsmomma4606]

Hello, I just stumbled upon your channel and really enjoy your content. The cottage that you brought to us is really cute, even with the minor fix-ups you spoke about. What is more exciting is that it comes with a bit of land and it’s quiet remote location. This kind of remind me of the home I live in now. I used to own a 2350 sq ft home: put it up for sale, and within a week it sold. The home I currently have is only 940 sq ft, with 2 acres and very remote…I live in the woods way up in northern WI…I just love it! Peace and quiet…cozy too! Thank you for your channel and sharing your life with everyone. Cheers!

There was a time when I spent many hours watching Escape to the country. 😂 there was also a time (melancholic teenage years) I daydreamed of living in Ireland in one of those cottages. Nowadays I prefer sunshine, lots of light and huge windows, and central heating. But I still love seeing how other people live. And I appreciate your take on those properties.

This one in particular yes with a little bit of work would be quite satisfying I don’t think it will stay on the market long. It’s a lifestyle that is becoming more and more desirable.

[@79tazman]

I live in Canada and that's what I love about Europe and Ireland is that there is so much history here in Canada there are many homes from 1850's to 1890's and newer but a home over 200 years old no way since everything that old was built with wood and it rotted away a long time ago or burned down like many old wooden structures have.

[@danav.2559]

Some of those houses might have been build by Irish settlers coming to Canada till 1847.

[@cindystevenson9669]

I'm in Guelph, Ontario, Canada My place is a small 2bedroom , 1 bath in the historic downtown . We looked on the city map and it dates back to 1860. Well built wood structure. They built them to last back then..not like the junk thrown up now a days .

Our family came from Ireland and Scotland back in the early 1800's tough life for sure.

Actually we in Canada do have older stone buildings. Near me in the Ancaster area I know of a house from 1780. If you go to Montreal or Quebec City you'll find many historic stone buildings which are much older than that.

The thing that would make that perfect, 5-10 more acres.

[@Starlight22215]

I have a two hundred year old cottage and damp is always a bugbear. I noticed in the bathroom you showed a dehumidifier. I have one. I consider it an essential to be honest. I still prefer the dark and damp to modern. It’s a good excuse for cosy winter nights in and a blazing wood stove.

[@Tinkerbelle610]

I borrowed the dehumidifier because we had a really warm, damp day just before viewings started, it's only when it's warm and wet that there's a problem otherwise the place is pretty dry.

[@Chahlie]

I normally spend winters in the north of Scotland and I've learned not to rent older places, especially with any kind of a flat roof addition. When you aren't used to it the damp smell gets into your clothes and you cannot get it out. Last time I ended up throwing away clothing that had any polyester in, it just sucked up the smell.
