We bought an ABANDONED old cottage in Ireland | Come look inside! 

Love the style of the Irish Cottage ~ what fun it will be watching your renovation progress! Congratulations.

This is a beautiful cottage and property. Wishing you all the best with restoring it! I am sure it will be lovely! 😊

What a fantastic house, and you get to live in Ireland! You might find The Yorkshire Carpenter, on RU-vid, a very helpful fellow to follow. He’s been restoring a Victorian?, stone cottage and is a master builder. He may also be available to ask questions of. This will be a wonderful project for you, and I wish you every success!❤️🇨🇦

You got me at "slow and painful process!" 😄😄 Will definitely be following along to see your progress! Best of luck on your new adventure!

It is going to be fantastic once renovated.

Looking forward to travelling with you on your Irish Cottage adventure

I am sure when this house is complete, it will be a forever home that is stunning. It will hold stories and memories that will be in your daughter's future and beyond!!! I am so excited for you!!!💚💚💚

Fireplace and ceiling are gorgeous!! Window sills, and large window nooks-love them!

You’re lovely people, wishing you well.

I've seen people "float" the bed in the center of the room, with a wardrobe butted up to it to form a headboard/wall/divider. The wardrobe was heavy enough so it wouldn't slide, and they finished off the back of it as a decorative headboard. It also created a dressing area behind the bed. Just a thought💕(or alternatively create an office space❤)

It's going to be beautiful! I hope you restore the inglenook! The huge chimney breast upstairs is so cool

Lived in Kerry for 8 years , buitiful country my 4 kids grew up there , back in London due to personal reasons but still miss the way of life , good luck and definitely be watching 👍 by the way the property is awesome 🔥

Welcome to Ireland, folks. Im sure you will fit in very well and have a brilliant life here. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the house. As things go, it's not in that bad a condition.

So much potential and fun times ahead! And of course,laughter, which is the best medicine!😂

This is going to be a great renovation! Hello from Gainesville, Florida!

Following because we are doing something similar. Similar but different in that ours is a new build in Northern Ireland but similar as in off-grid. Best of luck, look fwd to progress.

A bed in the middle of the room isn’t impossible. I’ve seen it done in many cottages and it looks amazing. Just Google some images for ideas

This house has good bones. It will become a wonderful forever home. Best wishes for your project.

It is lovely! We will watch and encourage you on! Hugs from Canada!

Good luck ☘ sand the ceiling back and light stain it white to bring the grain out would look stunning Subbed cant wait to see what you do to the property

Such a beautiful cottage in an idyllic location. Will be lovely to watch it being restored. The very best of luck to you. 🍀

Good luck. Can’t wait to see the results.

Good luck with the renovation! I’ll be looking forward to updates. Subscribed 👍

The cottage has lots of character and is charming nestled in the beautiful landscape. The solarium areas could be a delightful sitting area to watch the season's and weather roll in. The wooden ceiling remind me of swedish homes.. GOOD luck with the reno's. Looking forward to following your adventure.

In Arizona we call those glass rooms "Sun Rooms" and they are Lovely, for the views overlooking your little farm....Many people build in benches around the 3 walls, with cushioned tops, for places to sit and sometimes shelves under the cushioned benches for storing books, makong a nice little light infused reading nook. (can even have a little portable table for the center, to set your tea on 🥰 Have fun...cant wait to watch your progress - new Sub ❤

This is going to be amazing ,I have to say you two are the best looking couple .I look forward to watching the renovations and your channel grow , Good luck from California

Finally, I've been waiting forever to see the renovations ... GOOD JOB! FROM us in Alaska

All the best, looking forward to following your adventures 😊.

Look up how to use the saw correct. The piece you saw off has to have the ability to fall away. If you put the plank on two points and cut in the middle, the saw blade will always be squeezed and kick back! Ask a cabinetmaker or carpenter please, before you hurt yourself or someone else.

when the only heat in your house was the fireplace, you made it your wall. when the stone got warmed from the fire, it spread through the wall, hence more heat.

I am looking forward to seeing you guys doing a lot of ripping out a whole lot of pine for fire wood and smaller projects.

Just came across this and subscribed. You two are delightful. Looks like a lot of work, but it will be fantastic at the end. 😊 Kathy

Great content best of luck welcome to Ireland

Wow it’s an amazing house,can only imagine how beautiful it’ll e when it’s finished

I LOVE those windows that go outside a wee bit from the house. Sadly, they would have been better in wood... You may in time be able to have some stone made around the (new) windows on the outside. They do look odd being white metal, against the old stone walls. There could be someone out there to take it on. I would not give up...That always upsets me to see people put in the modern white metal windows and alongside something made of stone. In fact, me thinks they may have been knocked back if they had of said to your local council. Here in Australia, we have many old stone buildings going back 200 years. If the council finds a modern window, they tell you to remove it and use only wood. On another note, you can get someone in to 'sandblast' all the varnish off the ceilings and staircase & doors. Bringing the whole cottage to a lovely raw wood...Then you can do what you like with it once it has been cleaned down. That is one way to get it done very very quickly! It is so fast, and a great way to save weeks of work. Worth the price if you are time-poor. I have done many reno's in the last 45 years. Few things I wish I had known. Try to buy an inexpensive vacuum cleaner, that has bags. Sweeping can cause you issues with health, even after 1 reno!.. I found it is best to clean as much dirt up from each day's work...We have gone through 2 vacuum cleaners. It was well worth the effort and under $100 .Once you start to paint walls make sure they are VERY clean of any dust, from top to bottom. Never ever buy cheap rollers to paint with, you will be wasting time and they are total rubbish. Wishing you guys a great time for your lovely cottage. You're living the dream. :) P.S. Have a look on YT to see sandblasting if you haven't.

What a wonderful, fairytale place you have bought. Like bwitched said, you are a very good looking couple, and now you have a beautiful sleeping beauty of a family home, waiting to be woken up, with your loving hands, along with your daughter. Wishing you love, happiness, good health and Good Luck on the months of renovation to come, and making a lovely natural garden - I shall be following you, as I love interior design, and anything arty crafty, as I am a pottery painter, and nature lover. Blessings to you three from Jilly & Madge the rescue greyhound, from West Devon, England. xxx

Just found you today. Thanks for sharing

I would keep the wood and add some shiplap walls, Paint the wood white to make it brighter. Now whether or not you want to keep it everywhere is another question. Good luck.

Ok, Im on the hook and subscribed... best of luck from Scotland

Happy to see you have been able to start the renovations. Have you checked out the You-tube channels for Camper Vibe and the Irish Homestead? They are both renovating old Irish farmhouses, too.

You two are cute. Ill be watching. Good luck with your venture.

Good Luck!

I suppose the gammy lights can be changed for something far nice. At least they’re wired. That stone wall inside is lovely. Getting rid of the yellow and pink paint will do so much for making the stone work pop. They really did get the place back to front 😅

Charming cottage with lots of character! 🎩💖✨

I think the house was quite biggish. Why do you have to get ride of the ceiling in the first room? I liked it, very charming

What a lovely quirky house! Looking forward to seeing how you get on. I watched the tour on your other channel too but I like how you’ve made a dedicated house channel ❤

Good luck with the project. You must be near Kerry somewhere, not far from where we are near killorglin. We also come from Dorset as well!

Best of luck☘️🥰

Greetings from Canada. Boy that place has potential in spades! I love the glass bump outs and the stone and vaulted ceilings! Oh my. The developer put a lot of money into the glass and windows! I hope you keep the ceilings. Just paint them or sand them and whitewash them. Can’t way to see where you take it. Good luck.

I love the moment the ghost made their presence known 4:26

Hi. New sub from Canada. Looking forward to watching your content 🙂

I love when i come across new channels , can't wait to follow you both on your exciting journey

That fireplace is gorgeous!

My guess is I think you are probably going to tackle the bedroom roof and beams etc first. It will take time but it will be gorgeous, I’m sure.

Good Luck, ill be following your journey 👍

You are so lucky that you were able to purchase something sight unseen & not get scammed. I had a friend that got scammed bad. I can’t wait to see what you do with the place, how exciting for you. I hope it turns out to be everything you want.

be great to watch you 2 ,yesss come on start buildin xx

I love the cottage, good luck and I can’t wait to see the renovation begin. Hello from Florida USA 🇺🇸

Last room you could make into a study room or playroom not changing anything in that room... Nice green things on the enterance but colour needs to change... Is the land infront of the house or back...looks great big time...😅😅😅

Yay! 👏 looking forward to seeing what you do, so exciting 😀

It will be so Lovely to hang out with you and see your home come back to life. Happy Adventure to you! from Flagstaff, Arizona.

This is amazing! Love getting to see the home and all you've created here in such a short term!

Me. I just subscribed 😅. I love such adventures. Looking forward to seeing more of them.

I hope you have a deep money well and endless energy. You are going to need both. Speaking from long experience, whatever you think somethings going to cost add at least another twenty percent 🤣

The cottage is beautiful,and for the lights I think there to guide ships in haha 😊

It's a very unique house, in quite good condition actually, but agree those all glass bay windows are a bit quirky.

What a cool, old building. The best of luck to you.

Good luck you two! I love your enthusiasm and wish you all the best on your journey. I'll be following along with interest! :-)

Glad to have found you guys! Can’t wait to follow along on your journey! ❤

I’ve just found your channel looks like it’s going to need a lot of insulation in the roof area and probably other areas, you probably know already but if you re-point the outside of the walls best to do it with lime mortar

Looking forward to seeing what you both have in store for us. Best of luck to you both from Bonny Scotland

It's one of the most beautiful cottages I've seen and I cannot wait to see you make it into your home. Also eager to see your water views.

I’m looking forward to seeing y’all achieve your dream 😊

Hi I'm looking forward to watching your house transformation my hubby wakes every morning and the first thing he says is I hate painting 😂 enjoy the journey love from Blue Mountains Australia 🇦🇺 🌻🌻

It's easy to see why you fell in love with the cottage. The countryside is gorgeous. You've got my undivided attention in seeing what you will do with the cottage and property. Watching the video I swear I could smell fresh air. Best regards!

Looking forward to a fun venture 😂😂

This should be fun!

Be interesting to see how you go

We bought cottage 5 years ago in the middle of no where we did it all ourselves before they started giving grants out I will say trade people in Ireland are VERY VERY EXPENSIVE and any rubbish doesn’t matter what it’s is it’s down to you to get rid off it builders they take nothing away Which part Ireland are you in ? What’s your budget??? Apart from the €70 k grant and 13 month time frame

Hi guys, just came across your channel and have subscribed, as I want to come along for the ride, the whole house seems to have verh good 'bones' and also it appears to be in good shape, just remember the three 'R's' of renovation, Rest, Rext and more Rest, just don't over work yourselves, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les

Very sneaky name change knowing full well there’s another successful channel called The Irish Homestead. You have the opportunity to be so unique too. 😢

Great new channel! Any way to save the square ceiling? Paint? It's beautiful wood, upstairs too, hope you plan to save it for up cycling later on, cupboards, dresser, storage boxes, and ?¿? Lining the appendages lower walls? 😅 Thanks for taking us along ❣️❣️❣️

Hello I’m Ava’s friend and I saw you in supervalu

I my first impression from the outside of the cottage is that it looks like a Traveler wagon, lol. Such bright, colorful & fancy trim. 😊

are you going to bring back the original fire place, take down the wall blocking it? I think it would probably look better too, especially if they haven't destroyed it but left it intact... am loving this new section & am very keen to see which way you go; putting new bathrooms in old houses is always a challenge, they always look like an after thought in most (mine is tacked on the back of the house with the laundry) wow over the front door is a nightmare disaster waiting to happen, do you need a bathroom upstairs? can't wait til the next one comes out thanx for sharing your cottage dream with us

So excited for you both and can't wait to join you on your journey and see it all come to fruition! Gentle suggestion...hubby needs a microphone or to speak louder, it's difficult to hear him 😊

NEW SUB HERE!!! I love the Appendages. They bring in so much light. Beautiful. It will be amazing. Not sure about the rubble or the chimney breast ? 😅 Honestly. It will be lovely and it will be exactly how you want it. Really love your channel. ❤

and now you know why the workmen stopped work and down tools and you got it so quickly 😆👻

It was nice to have a walk through and get reacquainted with the building again. It would be really helpful if you would share a floor plan, doesn't have to be to scale, just a sketch to get a much better idea. You mention the Living Room is on one end, master bedroom in the middle and perhaps kitchen on the other end. Seems odd to have a bedroom in between the Kitchen & LR. I subscribe to another channel - they are renovating an old train station in Wales into a home. They are a bit farther along in the process. Thought you might want to have a look at their channel, may be some tips or information to assist in yours. Here's the link if you want to check them out; The Old Station Renovation / Tour after the building was gutted / ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wh1g-zv4Lh8.htmlsi=xwsaxkX5FFCqd21e

The stone work is sweet, where gloves.

Ah dont be so negative,and knocking,its lovely,it is what it is.🤔🤔🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨

Have you applied for the 50k vacant house grant/ 70k derelict house grant? I imagine youd qualify

Beautiful home. Where are ypu? Do you have family in Ireland?

What county are ye in?

Can't wait...
