I’m never going to navan whilst I know the devil himself is an interior designer there
we bought a house like that, for a much higher cost. Its the only houses available at the moment. Someone elderly goes into a nursing home and that’s whats left behind as it hasn’t been touched in 50 years.
Strip the wallpaper, get the walls skim plastered, paint in a modern style – about €8,000. Mainly for the skim plastering.
New carpet, single carpet all over the upstairs – decent quality – about €4,000.
New windows, as those look single paned – about €8,000.
New internal doors, as those are the old style light doors – about €3,000.
​
€23,000 and the house looks brand new.
​
Might need a rewire and downstairs laminate flooring in due course, but that’s another days work.
Ignore the decor as that can be easily changed but it looks like it needs a new Kitchen, new bathroom, new windows on the front. There also appears to be no radiators in the house, it will also need to be retrofitted for modern insulation. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sinister.
A house which is affordable and still giving out because the decor inside is old.
That’s all cosmetic and quickly and cheaply fixed.
It looks a great value
Tbf it’s only cosmetic
Probably 20-30k onto that and you have yourself a brand new house though
In my opinion, these are the best types of houses to look for. As long as they are structurally sound you can buy the old house, get a lot of the work done and do some yourself for less than an equivalent house that is fully modernized and decorated. Plus you don’t spend extra money paying for and then undoing someone else’s design choices. You just gut it and make it look the way you want. More hassle up front but lower repayments in the longer term.
its one giant time capsule.
Would very easily have taken these for Silent Hill 1 screenshots.
That looks grand tbh, needs plenty of TLC obviously but unless it’s got structural or damp issues there’s nothing that would stop you moving in and fixing it up over time
i mean its cheaper than most
There was another house similar to this in Navan about 5 years ago. It had literally not been touched since the 1970s. Looked as if someone had walked out the door in 1975, and never went back. Even the furniture was all still there. But the wallpaper…my eyes have never been the same.
Hey I still live there!
Hugh Wallace has just had a stroke
This is russling my jimmies
I can smell the carpet through the computer screen.
Don’t worry lads, some landlord will snap it up for above asking, paint everything white, and rent it out for 2k a month. Easy money
Link to add?
Is that not the house from the conjuring?
this is the next the conjuring movie scenario
I didn’t know I could smell a picture.
Every room is a murder room.
Extremely dated decor but I’d be more interested in the area of the town,the site it’s on etc but writing it off.
Back in the day when I was house hunting I would have moved in and slept on the floor in a sleeping bag and done the work during the evening. It seems that we have become very choosy. I suppose I can’t blame people but if you have a limited budget then this is good value.
What do you want a Palace. Aks your parents or even better grandparents what there houses wer like when they wer young.
I know personally it took years for my parents to make the home they have now look as good as it does today. Come 10 years time it will all be outdated.

Does it come with a creepy doll that may or may not be possessed by any chance?

Has a very “Jimmy Saville” vibe to it
Every room seems to have the same ominous stain on the carpet.
I love the 70s decor , but I’m fairly certain someone has died in at least one of those rooms

Looks like a haunted house
Damn you found the backrooms
Bit more personality for this one in Trim for the same price https://www.daft.ie/for-sale/terraced-house-40-loman-street-trim-co-meath/3741208
Wasn’t the shining filmed in there?
The wallpaper looks like the book I had as a kid where you focus on the middle of the page and a butterfly pops out at you lol
Psychopath not included
Where is the possessed little girl?????
I ain’t gonna buy it without her.
Back in those days the more patterns you had the wealthier you seemed.
“Jesus, they had patterned curtains, carpet AND walls, he must be raking it in”.
Genuinely like the wallpaper.
