Inside the cottage that looks like something from a Disney film on sale for just £79,000

A quaint countryside cottage in Ireland, which wouldn't look out of place in an American movie, could be yours for just £79,000.

The two bedroom property in Sligo is the perfect choice for someone looking for a relaxing rural retreat.

The one-and-a-half storey house has an open kitchen and living area, two bedrooms and one bathroom.

But what really makes this cottage like no other is the old-fashion style of the rooms.

The brick walls, the slanted ceilings, the porch and the cosy atmosphere will make you feel like you've stepped into a movie from the past.

The cottage sits on a 0.50 acre-site surrounded by trees, offering lots of potential to buyers wanting to extend (subject to planning permission).

This property is a real deal and it was even shared by TV presenter Maggie Molloy on her Instagram page ' cheapirishhouses '.

Along with pictures of the property, she wrote: "Sitting on half an acre among the trees outside Boyle, this little cottage is perfectly habitable, very quaint and I think it might have the cutest porch I’ve ever seen!"

The cottage is located in the Kilmactranny area, but despite being surrounded by nature, is only 10 minutes drive from the town of Boye and five minutes drive from the village of Ballyfarnon.

Also, it is in the perfect location for visiting Kilronan Castle and Leisure Centre, the historical Arigna Mountains and a number of fishing lakes such as Lough Arrow, Lough Key, Lough Skean and Lough Meelagh.

The description on Daft.ie reads: “This property would be an ideal fishing retreat, country residence or sound investment.”

Last week we reported on the house in Connecticut that social media users compared to a Star Wars space ship.

The multi-level property, on the market at $629,000 (£519,000), is located in Hamden, Connecticut and was custom designed in 1969.

Made up of four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the unusual looking house caused quite a stir after it was posted on Facebook.

One person commented: “Anyone just see a huge bike ramp? I think that’s how my kids would view this."

"Looks like a Star Wars ship," said another user.

Someone else added: “The first sketch of Darth Vader’s helmet."

Its sloping roof lines were created to seamlessly blend with the property's 4.2 acres of woodland surroundings.

Designed by renowned Yale architect David Sellers, the listing describes the property as being "thoughtfully structured to take full advantage of its secluded location in the woods of the Sleeping Giant State Park".
