How many think this house would be idyllic and how many think the opposite.

[obrienobrien]

does it have a garage for my motorcycle..????

Rural small holding in west of Ireland sounds great. Looked at a place in Galway a couple of years ago as my wife was offered a job at Uni there. 200k and had its own lake front. Not far from wild Atlantic way. Five years earlier or once our son finishes school and we’d almost certainly have gone for it. Galway, Clare or Northumberland for me next.

DO IT !!!

I almost bought this back in 2016. So glad I didn’t!



It’s nothing new. @EcosseMackem will be classed as a white settler.

Previous house of mine. Garden gets the sun all day. 2 minute walk from Skinandis which @monkeytassle and @willowbankbear will confirm is the best nightclub in the UK.



The last place I lived in Caithness (Bower), the internet was 1.4mbs. That was a fun 9 months.

Christ that's a blast from the past

Not in my experience if you come here to live and work here and be part of the community

Different if you buy a place to visit for two weeks of the year and let it out on Airbnb for the other 50 weeks

Most people round here can’t be bothered with them

 

[JJH]

I’m after a holiday let . If there was someone local who could do the weekly cleaning etc it would be ideal.
Beautiful area

 

[Skandhaless]

Would it be split on age or personality type?

Skinandis ?? Good ??? I am not so sure

I had many a drunk thursday night in skinandis followed by a hungover flight from Wick international on the Friday dinner time when I worked at Dounreay

 

[Cockney Mackem]

For a week's holiday, lovely.

To live in for any substantial length of time:

Logon or register to see this image

 

[bobpc30]

Go for it.

 

[EcosseMackem]

It's gone to a closing date so there's obviously a few offers in for it

Idyllic

 

[Soap MacTavish]

Idyllic, would suit me perfectly

 

[Crook Mackem]

Not for me . I would need some type of civilisation next to me, even if it was just a small village.

 

[monkeytassle]

Idyllic, would suit me perfectly

All charming til you get stuck in a drift in a hoolie on your way back from buying some milk.

 

[raindog]

Looks a great place to grow some Northern lights and lay on an Hammock and gaze at the sky

 

[zinedine]

Currently looking for a 3 bedroom detached with garden and space for car under 250k. Very nice, but probably end up with a new build lego house in Sunderland for that.....or a nice house that someone has died
In and hasn't had a new carpet/kitchen/bathroom since 1989.

Don't change the bathroom. I've heard pampas green is making a comeback.

 

[Wild Card]

Would move there tomorrow and get a remote job, assuming it would be possible.

Unfortunately, the wife would absolutely not live that for away from a community.

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Beautiful, would love it.
If only I had a job where I could work permanently from home I'd be hoying a bid in.

I bet like a lot of properties up that way the broadband is shite.

 

[Kevj]

Not for me . I would need some type of civilisation next to me, even if it was just a small village.

Do you still live in Crook?
