Aw my granny was from Templemore, she lived just up the road on Bank Street, I spent many a summer in that square as a child, happy memories. The house will make a beautiful family home for someone. Such a lovely town.
Well, I *was* dreaming of a modest little cottage on some land, but then you walked us through this beauty... *swoon* I am ready to pack up everything (right down to my old hens) and move. IT'S GORGEOUS!!!
I cannot believe the price of this home. I have restored this place in my mind as you took us around. I love how you show us all the little things like the scalloped backplate behind the door knob. A treasure!
Wow! I found your channel because I am interested to move to Ireland in a future, and I wanted to know more about housing and living costs. There are such antique lovely houses filled with lots of stories that is nice for someone several years in the future to give it a new beginning. Thank you for all of your uploads! Love them! :) Greetings from Mexico
i absoFU**inluely love your videos. i LOVE county Tipperary. My most favorite thing is your excitement! I wish i could bottle you up and drink you down! THANK YOU from TEXAS!
That house is stunning! Thank you so much for showing us around Maggie, and thanks to Joanne for letting you! I can’t work my head around 1820 actually being 200 years ago, it doesn’t feel like it was but it so is! Amazing condition for a house half that age!
What a fabulous house, I'd move in tomorrow if it was for sale now! I agree, that first floor reception room is the best room in the house, but the whole place would look fantastic done up sympathetically in lovely Edwardian colours. Oooh I'm dreaming now! 💞
Just what I am looking for: a charming older house in a village so you can walk to shops, pubs and restaurants. I decorated each room as you passed through.
Without a doubt I'd do it as a gut reno, including turning those upstairs rooms back into a single master, but work to respect its history as much as is possible while still modernizing. That small room behind the master could easily become a proper master bathroom, even leaving room for a walk in closet if you're creative about it. Still, it's just an absolute delight.
This is a fantastic house, solid, spacious, nicely proportioned and in fairly decent condition. There is a gate the provides access to the back garden from the street but that gate is under the house next door, which unfortunately looks derelict. I don’t think the gate is wide enough to drive a car through, but you could certainly bring your bike in! With those reservations this house has the potential to be a fantastic home with a little TLC. I see that the listing shows “Sale Agreed”.
Would you please tell me why the windows on the 2nd & 3rd levels of old Irish houses are so low to the floor? It's a strange architectural quirk. Did it develop for a reason?
It's probably to maximize light in the house. If the windows on the top floor were raised up, they would be very tiny and that top floor would be dark as a tomb. If you look at the front of the house, the middle set of windows are the biggest (for the grand reception room on the 1st floor) and all the other windows are just a bit smaller to accomodate.
I looked at the listing and there's something I'm having a hard time googling - BER. What is that? What does it mean when it says BER exempt? Love these videos!!
@@TracyCul thank you for that! But I have follow up questions now - why is it exempt? Just because they know it's too old and will need a bunch of work? Or the opposite? And finally, what's an example of a good rating?
