    If only I was a wealthy man. I'd set up a little craft brewery there in honour of it's former inhabitants!
    So, is this the house that you've just put on the market? ;) Nice!

    Stunning house. It looks very presidential. I'm not sure if the Nore is known for flooding but if it's stood there since the 1700's it'd probably be ok.
    It's not even on the Nore. It's the River Breagagh which feeds into the Nore nearby.

    Not much space on that road for a hut plus the roof is pretty small if you wanted to get a couple of secret service snipers up there :pac:

    There used to be a hut outside Berties house in Drumcondra back in the day. Famously Alan Shatter had Gardai outside his house protecting him but he wouldnt let them use his toilet. You would really have to be some special kind of d1ck to expect Gardai to be protecting you and then not even let them use the toilet.

    A bit off topic...but I would be with Shatter on this one. He lived (lives?) in a modest house in Ballinteer. It is quite an intrusion to have the possibility that someone can come into the gaff at any time to use your jacks.

    Not great for peaceful/private enjoyment of your home. Not sure how many residents were in his house, Missus? Adult kids? Their kids?

    The toilet breaks of the guards is the business of their employers.

    It's nice but I would have expected it to be nicer to be honest, bedrooms and living room look small. Thought they would have gone for something detached rather than mid terrace.

    There wouldn't be many detached residences that close to the city. It's a very sought after area, I rented near there about 6 years ago and similar houses a little closer to the city centre were going for the same kind of prices even then. It's all about location!

    eh, what?
    The sitting room/BBQ room is an extremely rare and unique room with an indoor barbeque, which was imported from South Africa and built into the wall.

    I thought they were indicating it had been featured already.

    I'd say they've only displayed half the rooms.

    Irish company selling South African fire boxes (‘boks’ in Afrikaans) for indoor BBQing. Seems to be a thing.

    That Kilkenny house is stunning. Though was surprised that for 3.2m all you get is 10 acres of land with it. I doubt the original estate was that small, normally these kinds of houses come with 100 acres+ so Im guessing some previous owner sliced it up and sold most of it off.

    Luggala estate in Wicklow has a similar brewing history to the Kilkenny house with the Guinness family living there. It was on the market back in 2017 and it came with 5,000 acres which included a private lake, several mountains and a herd of over 100 wild deer grazing away right outside the house, you could be dining on venison all year round. Denis O'Brien was said to be interested in buying it but then his fortunes turned south. The State had the chance to buy it and make the national park it bordered even bigger but they refused it. Bono also tried to put a consortium to buy it but failed to raise enough money.

    In the end a reclusive Italian Count who comes from nobility in MIlan bought it at a knockdown price, said to be around half the asking price of 28 million. He is a hedge fund owner and his other gaff is a 4,500 acre estate in Norfolk.

    Count Luca Rinaldo Contardo Padulli di Vighignolo is his name, this is him in his hunting gear

    And this is dinner right outside the front of his house

    It's 5 mins walking distance to the centre of Kilkenny, that's one of the big advantages it has going for it. I think 10 acres is pretty impressive in an urban setting!

    A lovely part of the country, Kilkenny. I don't live there, but often thought I would like to.

    If it sells for €100k.

    This is not likely.

    Not likely in the sense that the Virgin Mary will appear before Jeffrey Donaldson and proclaim him 'a very naughty boy' live on The View or England winning the Euros.

    The second one became a bit more likely today...
