A bungalow is set to go on auction for just £130,000 - but comes with ominous threats painted on the windows aimed at any would be buyers.
The property is tucked away in an emerald corner of the Irish countryside.
Surrounded by rolling fields, and trees, it could be the perfect home for anyone fancying a quieter life, more in touch with nature, away from busy cities.
Alongside that, at only £130,000, the property is affordable at a time Ireland is lurching through a vicious housing crisis that has almost 12,000 people living in emergency accommodation.
The three bedroom property is in Shankill, County Monaghan, and was listed yesterday for the first time.

The bungalow is tucked away in Shankill, County MonaghanBut despite looking like a good deal on the face of it, upon closer inspection, potential buyers noticed something wrong.
The fairly nondescript whitewashed building, set by a nearby farmyard, has a number of warnings scrawled across the windows.
To make matters worse, these warnings are directly aimed at any potential buyers.
The property is going to auction with a starting price of £130,000The sinister warnings, scrawled in graffiti over the boarded-up windows of the house, read: "Buyer will be burt [sic] out" and "No sale".
The bungalow, which boasts just over 2,000 sq feet, goes under the hammer next Thursday, 25 May, at midday, and has an initial bid price of just over £130,000.
Interior images show the home's living room, boasting an ornate fireplace and dated wallpaper, with doorways leading through to the kitchen.
Behind the threats against any would be owner is a pink third bedroomThe large open plan kitchen and dining room leaves a lot of space to entertain guests for any future buyers, should they be brave enough to ignore the earlier warnings.
The first bedroom is decorated in purple with a feature wall covered in pink, purple and stencil white flowers on a black background.
The master bedroom comes equipped with built-in overhead cupboard space and bedside cabinets, whilst the window of this room is also devoid of natural light.
The previous owner of the countryside property was clearly a fan of pink and purple - having brightly decorated some of their roomsThe third bedroom of the property is also adorned with a flowery feature wall contrasting the other walls in the room, which are covered in a baby pink.

All of the bedrooms are boarded up with the signs which are now daubed in graffiti bearing threats and ill-will to future buyers.
Aerial views of the home show that more windows to the rear of the property are also boarded up - but these ones are free of any scrawled threats.

The bungalow's description reads: "For sale by public auction on 25/05/2023 12:00 at an online auction.
"This property is a three bedroom bungalow, offering vacant possession and internally extending to approximately 2000 sqft.
"While requiring some modernisation internally this property is a great investment opportunity."
A house-hunter shared the property to social media yesterday (WED) writing: "Seems like a bargai…ah never mind."
The post has since gained over 300 likes and more than 100 comments from users who were quick to ponder over the threats left on the boards and whether it would affect the purchase.
One said: "They could have photoshopped the graffiti out."
Another added: "[I'm] just a little surprised they used that image to try to sell it."
A third replied: "What were they thinking, just paint over the graffiti for the photo, put a sheet over, anything."
