This cottage sold for €125,000. Congratulations to the new owner!
Dude WHAT?!? Was there some catch like an agricultural occupancy restriction or something you didn’t mention in the video? In Wales you’re lucky to find a liveable 2 bedroom property with a few acres for less than 400k gbp.
Even more shocking is the fact it was properly rendered in lime instead of cement. Our 2 bedroom old stone house with 9 acres in rural Wales (also near a road) was in a FAR worse condition and we felt lucky to pick it up for 375k gbp. The whole house was thickly cement rendered holding lots of damp, chimney a mess, 2 leaking plastic windows, a sheet of plywood for a door, and literally tons of trash littering the area around the house. At least our place came with a back-boiler system, but still.
The market in Ireland sounds amazingly affordable!
Wow seems a bargain for such potential ❤
Can you recommend a resource for "Rental Studio or Small Cottages": I'm considering a trip to Ireland, destination "County Kerry".
Kerry is the home of my lineage, (Irish American, (Chicago born, currently in NW Tennessee).
My desired intentions are to expierence an extended stay. I am an Artist, Writer, Researcher, and I garden.
Ideally, Coastal and somewhat Rural, with a close small town/village.
Small = 2-3 rooms are all I need, a Loft or Studio would be fine. Painting, writing, sleeping, and cooking. I front expect to be entertaining anyone, I don't know anyone in the area.
A clean, well maintained, and with all the facilities inside the unit, lol. I'm not accustomed to "roughing it".
If there's a service or resource you're familiar with, I would very much appreciate your reply.
Best Thoughts and Wellbeing,
Beth
Wow!
@@bethbartlett5692 Have you tried airbnb? They have rentals all over the world. A lot of the places have monthly discounts too. I love using them because you get a map view, then can zoom into an area, and even more places will pop up. Good luck!
Love these hidden gems , and there are so many of them in Ireland, you should look into doing pre auction presentations as a part-time role , you would sell snow to an Eskimo, great presentation.
A stunning beautiful country but sadly atm outrageously expensive. Ireland is brim full of adorable renovation properties but you’d need very deep pockets for some if not many.
@@infour44 depends where you are comparing it to!
American see as a fix up, jack price up, make money and resale. And because of this money driven attitude, rent and houses out of site for many in US. Don't allow foreign investors to buy for speculating........

Did this man loss his calling in life ? What a super Estate agent he would make. Such a detailed report delivered, with honesty, the good the bad the ugly., and of course finished of with that beautiful piece of music, which I’m still trying to find the name of . 👍
I do believe it is the channel owner singing his own song.
I think this property is among the most charming of all the listed properties you’ve shown. I love the architectural salvage in the outbuildings and would be tempted to reincorporate it back into the house. The outbuildings are a large part of the charm of this property for me. Thanks for sharing !!
Sitting here in Colrado USA, chuckling when you mention noise from that car going by. I live in a city of 224,000 and can't wait to retire and go somewhere without barking dogs, tires screeching, etc. That location has it all. Just repair that roof and the second wood burner and live in peace and tranquility.
So when are u coming to ireland
Just move and buy my home lol😊
Thank you for giving me an aerial view of my ancestral Irish home area. The McHughs still live on their land in Slatta More, Rouskey, Carrick on Shannon. My Mother was one of 8, who, along with her twin brother, were born in a simple white cottage, with a sleeping loft for the children. She told a story of peering down when the Black and Tans made an inspection, looking for guns. They intercepted my Grandfather outside and ordered him to go to the door and tell his wife to get his gun. She answered, "Jimmy, surin ye have no gun." God bless us all! Best wishes, Patricia
Wow, great memories Patricia, thanks for sharing 😊. Do you still live in Ireland?
@@joanne1dreams Thank you for writing to me,Joanne. These memories were those of my Mother. RIP. I. myself, have visited but never lived in Ireland. All the best, Patricia
@@patriciafay-magiera1304 🧡💛💚
black and tans smashed up my Grandparents home looking for guns. Grannie, whom I remember in the early 60s, was pregnant and carrying a small on on her hip when they slapped her around and dragged her ou by her hair. Grand dad was roughed up. their young children remembered it, always but bore no hate. None of that in my family so their lives were not blighted by it. Obviously it was very upsetting and humiliating and they did feel that. The cottage only went out of family ownership two years ago. My grandfather and Gt. Grandfather were thatchers.
Your videos are so fun to watch and very well done, high-quality. I live in the United States it’s so nice to see that country and the buildings there. I really look forward to your next one, thank you for doing what you do!
Totally agree! I'm actually trying to find out if I can obtain an RN license and how to do so. RN 30+ years.
That was the best yet in my opinion, definitely a dream cottage , I myself live in an old crookframe , cottage built out of oak reclaimed ships timbers I believe, and wottleand dorb lime plaster,the point being is that from a maintenance point of view, they, are relevity cheap to maintain, the structure, being sound in the first place, I like you take the thatch , as a plus, rather than a minus, lovely lovely cottage thanks for sharing, from Steve near Chester England 🇬🇧 where the Roman's once lived.
Wonderful. My grandmother was born in a small thatched roofed Irish cottage just like this one over 100 years ago. Interesting to see inside.
What a beautiful dwelling. You wouldn't have to spend much to live in abject luxury there.
The weather is a huge influence on how we feel about a place. Best visit in a variety of seasons. Having said that, I've spent many a winter holed up in Tuscany at 600mts - snow, ice, withering wind & rain. But when you're inside beside the woodburner and the peace & silence seeps into your bones amazing things can happen... Fertile ground for good ideas and the time to nurture them.
I could get lost in a beautiful dream just looking at this cottage, how beautiful! 🌼
That was the best property sales tour I've seen ever, honest informed and interesting, and your not even selling the place well done mate
Of course I see this after the sale. Seeing this gets me wanting something like this. One issue i'm across the pond in the states. Size wise it's fine. Yes the Thatch roof sells it, still needs some work though as you mentioned. The out houses do need work but nothing more than to be expected in it's condition. Since the cottage itself is a bit small, one of those out houses would be good for an office or so. Would definitely build the path and dock for lake access. That alone would be a big Bonus to the property. All in all a fantastic property for the person who bought it.
This one is a favorite of mine so far! Definitely very charming and with all honesty, I can absolutely imagine myslef rearranging/repairing what needs to be done. I absolutely love the traditional roof. Problem with dampness can be fixed quite easily (lack of proper heating is probably one of the causes) at least temporarily - good dehumidifier works wonders. Possible access to the lake is honestly a dream come true, not even mentioning apple orchard which in my eyes makes up for close proximity to the road. I would absolutely restore out buildings and since in the future I would love to keep bees, having a neighbour from whom I could learn would be incredible. Future owner is going to be very blessed to own such a beautiful property! 🙂
Have a swarm of bees in a nucleus since Monday night in my garden although it’s daughter’s swarm not mine, and it’s SO special. They have 2 lovely hives to move/grow into ❤🐝❤
You really do a great job on the details Daniel 🌻🌻
I love these cottages. When I visited Ireland in 2015 i fell in love with the country side.
Daniel, this home is a gem. Thank you for sharing😊
Its one of less than 900 thatched cottages left in Ireland!
I wish I could live in the coutryside, but I am stuck in a city apartment. However, if life gives you lemons... I am going to turn the roof terrace into a jungle garden!
That was very well presented Daniel. The cottage is wonderful - I've often wondered about it as I ride by on my bike.. Let's hope the new owner has similar ideas to you.
Delightful ... I'd buy it in an instant if I were younger and take off the thatch that will need replacing in 10 years and slate it bc re-thatching will cost 3x as much! What really impessed me was the huge outbuildings, great potential for more living space, workshop, sauna, anything really, even attaching the main house with an upper mezanine.
The clip sashs can be replaced with double glazing and the one bedroom might need partitioning from the main cathederal ceilings or else perhaps to hot on winter nights with the stove belting out the heat, ceiling fans might help.
Having been a renovator of thatched cottages into thatched houses my mouth is watering but I'm semi-retired. What a brilliant project for someone and Rosscommon is so lovely! Great find! lol
I imagine it'll go for closer to 200k.
💖🙏🌻
Great insight. Thanks! :)
@@MossyBottom my pleasure and thanks for the opportunity brother mossyman.
💖🙏🌻
There is a Thatching grant, that could make re.thathing worthwhile.
Love this cottage! Thank you for showing it.🥰
Fantastic viewing Daniel. Thanks for taking the time to show it to us.
Great presentation, very informative. Love to see the local properties and surroundings. Inspiring.
An absolute dream cottage, lovely video
BEAUTIFUL places/homes but an even nicer man..
From an Irish lady..
Belfast originally but Cork for the most part..
What a wonderful video of what I think is an amazing place. You are so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. It is tue, I can see how most people would love to love here. It has a lot of possibilities. I live in the states but would welcome the opportunity for such a life. Thank you so much for allowing us to see this gem.
Irish cottages are so beautiful ~ simple practical layouts; solidly built & cozy. Love them. I live in the states & have scribbled many small Irish cottage floorplans as my imaginary retirement home in the country. Based on the ones I've toured in Ireland. Absolutely smitten :)
(Even though thatched roofs are expensive to replace, they rarely leak, they insulate wonderfully & they can easily last as long as 50 years with proper maintenance. The roof will likely last longer than you.)
Charming and a lot could be done, its great! Love Irish old cottages 💚
Dream property for me but in a couple years, So many things I would want to do and develop there!
Thankyou for showing us
Lucky lucky people that buy that cottage. Thank you for your assessment.
Oh goodie. Inside & out. Just the right sort of video for a nosy person like me.
Love these video's makes me remember what my place was like before I moved in and did a whole load of renovatins.
Thatch and deep pockets are best friends ! Just shown us a money pit ! The damp is caused by cement render on the outside and gypsum plaster on the inside, replace with lime!
I was wondering if you could elaborate a bit more. I have a dirt floor cellar, when my oil furnace went out, the damp took hold and so did mold. We've cleared out the mold but can still smell the damp, at times. I want to do a lime wash down there...over the rock foundation inside & out. I got a new, used furnace to install before winter and was thinking of putting in some radiant heating on the floor, which uses hot water flowing through pex pipe. I'd, also, like to use solar panels for my home, at some point. I'd be grateful for any information you could share on the use of lime. I know it helps to prevent mold. Thank you so much.
Looks like something from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Absolutely beautiful!
all those years in school we were not taught how to build our own house. it's as easy as making a cake, i've taken part in restoring, renovating, converting, and new builds from the west cost of ireland to the black sea, we have a real snow white cottage for sale in the hills of Slovenia surrounded by mature natural forest and wild animals including deer it really is like walking into snow white's cottage
Such a beautful place and you are a great informative presenter. Thankyou.
What a great little property! A total fairy tale. The outbuilding you showed the inside of is large enough to be a guest cottage/air bnb with some remodeling and the addition of a wood stove or fireplace and chimney. Would make a great farm stay experience.
love just watching old cottages are very intresting to me as well.😊
What an ideal place to live and work. Amazing. I think I would convert the outer buildings in to accommodate, grow food, hold art holidays and holidays rentals there, put up something to have easy access to the lake. What a magical place. It would be wonderful to keep the thatch roof. What a find. I think you should be paid by the auctioneer or someone for sharing magic gem properties in Ireland. Thanks for the amazing video.
Thanks for the video - Very informative for the buyer and great guide for anyone new to Ireland looking to buy a Cottage.
What a beautiful place 😍
Outstanding presentation. As for the cottage, yes, it is flush with quaintness, but I wondered about the proximity of the stream at one end.
Sweet Meadow Cottage- sounds so charmingly old fashioned!
You are getting younger and more handsome with time. Ireland is good for you.
I love this place, shocked it only went for its initial value. Does need a lot of working doing to bring it up to scratch, especially the out buildings but hey, what a gem
I know some thatch cottages have been reroofed with a sod roof which is cheaper and last longer. This cottage is totally amazing and so much perceptional. good luck to anyone who buys this wonderful place
Damn, Mossy! Your channel really grew since last I watched - and you look so much stronger, healthier, and more professional with your video editing!
Excellent video and commentary! Thank you so much for sharing 😃
Oh what a lovely house!
Love it Daniel, well done 👏👏👏👍😉🇮🇪🍀
I look forward to your videos every week.
Wow an absolute dream home and property
My mind is flying around the cottage and lands, and a fresh water lake access. What ideas I have about use and fun. We have so many of the same ideas! But alas, I am nearly 78 years old American. I would snap it up in a heartbeat if I were 30 years younger. I first noticed the roses, oh how I love roses and a great green thumb. Grow a lot of my food in elevated planters now.
Lovely video. Just working on my thatched doll house so inspired. Thanks
peaceful and lovely looking property! 😊 lucky new owner!!
Such a pretty place … thanks for sharing 😊
You do such a good job with these videos!
Always look forward to your videos. Pretty cottage. Hope you get into your cottage soon. Maybe it helped you with ideas.
Beautiful. Good work 👍👍
Very well produced.
I have a feeling this property is gonna sell for double the opening bid. It is a really cool property just for the lake access alone, I'm sure there will be alot of interest!
My ancestors are from Ireland ,, it's a beautiful country ,,my cousin made a trip there and went to a very old cemetery and found many family names ,,I think the house,s are so charming and the I love the music ,,thanks for the video,,
€125k AMV sounds nice. I looked at a thatched cottage last year and researched estimates for getting the thatched roof done every 10 to 15 years or so. €40k plus, because there's a rarity of roofers who can do it and the time it takes. That makes you change your mind even with 4+ acres. 😂 It looks so gorgeous but that roof 😭
just takes 6 weeks to learn how to do it your self
Old Ireland Cottage! Fixer Upper! Nice opportunity for someone looking for a Farm with Lake Access! Would have to replace the thatch roof... 🏠
Beautiful home!
I love this place!! Would buy it in a heartbeat but my grandchildren are within an hour of me. Couldn’t move that far away from them.
Sweet meadow, indeed!
Love your outage song, did you write that yourself, it’s beautiful.
Thank you! Yes, it's one of mine with me singing/playing the guitar. Sadly I don't have too much time for that any more! :)
@@MossyBottom I really liked it too! I was looking for the credits.....so we'll done you. Do make more use of it as it tells a story. Bless you Daniel.
@@MossyBottom I'd love to suggest a short album of your recordings as a Christmas offering like you did with your calendar. OMG I realize how I'm aging myself here... but they could just be downloadable tracks. All the best from Cape Breton.
Yes,I love this music and song,it feels me with such peace,I would love to hear the entire song,every time your video is going off, I'm thinking "Please don't ever replace with something else"!!!
Oh that's stunning
A beautiful place!!
Enjoyed your, presenting.Well balanced.Good stuff.
Just beautiful
Velux's should alway been on the north side where possible. On warehouses roof lights are traditionally always pointing north. This is to avoid direct sunlight which leads to glare in the work area and also excessive heat from solar gain. So, it makes total sense that the Velux's point north. I appreciate this is a learning point but hopefully something that you or your viewers may begin to see in day to day life. You can often tell the rough direction of North when you see these windows in the roofs of warehouses! (Building Surveyor)
But in a dark cottage in which the velux windows are the primary source of light wouldn't placing them on the south side let more light in and brighten the space up more?
@@MossyBottom Actually no, direct sunlight does not make a room brighter, its a difference between direct and diffused light. By pointing the windows north you get a beautifully diffused light and not harsh and hot direct sunlight. If you want more light, add more windows to that north side. You mention in the video how wonderfully cool the cottage is in the summer, by allowing direct sun in from the south you will loose some of that benefit by allowing the solar gain (heat from the sun) to build up.
It also makes sense these days to leave South facing roof surfaces for solar panels.
@@MossyBottom I agree, in a commercial situation one can see the logic but the little light one gets in ireland aught to be taken advantage of, velux blinds are an option of course worked by a pulley system below if in the catherderal ceiling. Personally I'd like load bearing arched 'tilt & turn' german beautifully made windows, had 5 of them in the last thatched renovation/construction all round the house, definitely a selling point, them and the oak spiral staircase, and they thatch beautifully but they need a drip catcher below to stop the drips from putting a hole in the lower thatch, I used thin copper sheet backed by board, and they'd be at least 3k+ each today all in. lol
💖🙏🌻
I wondered if anyone else would point this out. Artists who want good light always want North facing windows in their studios as they give consistent and good diffused light all year round. I lived in a house with velux windows facing south and they often needed blinds over them in summer to keep out the heat and glare of the sun, rather negating the point in having them.
🍀 💚 🍀 Lovely! My dream cottage 🏡
I think if the roof windows were on the southern side of the house, the upstairs would get too hot in the summer, as heat rises. That's my guess anyway. The damp smell is actually mould. I live in Italy, and for 11 years I lived in a 500 year old renovated stone house. The dampness issue was always a problem. Most winters, the paint and plaster would get so damp that in the spring it would fall off as it dried and the work would need to be redone. The thick stone walls never dried out, even after a long hot summer. Eventually, I paid a lot of money to have a state-of-the-art five layer insulation system installed on all the inner walls that faced the outside, then I sold the house. It was lovely with excellent views of the Apuani mountains, but was also exposed to the hard driving rains in fall and early winter. Now I am looking for another stone house, but I am aware of the best position it needs to be in to stay dry.
If you knocked off the plaster it would dry out the walls can breath
@@browningmaxus5360 Nope, because no matter whether you have render or plaster on the inside walls, and bare stone walls on the outside, the excessive rain and wind just pushes the water into the stone, plus the mortar between the stones. Most people don't realize that stone absorbs water. They can dry out, but not for a very long time in hot weather. Plus, the plaster and paint that is used in Italian stone houses is made specifically so the walls can breathe.
Hey Daniel, when you have time, will you give me your thoughts on seeds and seed-saving? Loving the content. Thank you for the consistent flow of inspiration.
The Seed savers near Scarrif Co. Clare are experts on seed and growing of many plants and trees on 20 acres.
Well this is just idyllic! 😍
I've wondered if you have considered beekeeping. I think you should try it. Join a local beekeeping club. I have several hives my self. Great video Daniel. Take care!
Great property! I hope that someone who has either construction skills or the money to restore the outbuildings buys it!
Daniel - Totally love all your vids.. I was going to comment some time ago on your video about future renovation plans for your cottage when you talked about wanting to put skylight windows on the south facing roof.. Nooo!!! It's actually far better to put skylights on the north facing roof because that gives plenty of light, but it's not a harsh glaring light like you'd get from south facing skylights, where you'll soon find you need sunglasses inside your house whenever it's sunny out. If you look at Victorian era buildings used by artists (and also museums) that were developed before the advent of electric lights that relied on natural lighting, they always have north facing windows, as it gives plenty of light without being harsh or creating any shadows. The Museum of Modern Art in NYC is one example. The office used by Lionel Logue in the movie "The Kings Speech" is another. I live in the Seattle area, which has a very similar climate to Ireland and I put a skylight in my north facing roof above my enclosed/dark stairwell. I never need to turn on the lights unless its nighttime. Now, if you're installing windows, that's a totally different situation because the angle of the incoming sun is far lower, so it hits the floor for the most part (and you can easily use blinds if need be). On windows, the bigger the better on the south facing side and limit them big time on the north side. But skylights should ALWAYS be on the off side of the roof.
Thanks Daniel. That's a real bobby dazler! So much potential
I love this property and your enthusiasm. I'd like to see more young Brits (or Aussies and Americans) taking a deep dive into country living.
Fabulous! Thank you very much! Kx
Just amazing ☺️

Have you considered looking at Northern Ireland, I’ve just moved to County Fermanagh from Northwest England and I sold a two bed terrace and bought a four bed house with three acres for the same money, they use Propertypal in the north, many bargains to be had.
great vid
