It looks like a waiting room in Dignitas for disappointed architects, dejected interior designers and light fitters that were given the wrong dimension drawings.

And they're all going down that stairway into hell.

Apologies, if this has already been posted.

But I'm trying to figure out, how they get 'in' to cook. Do they hop over the counter or come through the front window??

Bizarre!

I did laugh at the dressed mannequin in the walk in wardrobe though.

It's a pen for the wife, just throw her. in Sure why would she want to leave the kitchen!

Think there's a hatch on the right that the counter lifts like a bar hatch. Bizzare in a house.

that would be too much of a hindrance for me. Lifting a hatch and moving the press underneath away, with your dinner plates in hand

Could they not have given the toilet a bit of an ol' scrub before taking the photos?:o

Yea it's ridiculous. You'd just end up leaving it up all the time. I used to just swing under it most of the time in the bar!

Very strange to have one in a domestic house
You'd be limbo-ing to the table delivering the meals

The falling through the bar in Only Fools and Horses springs to mind.....

I'll tell you something though. €355k is an absolute steal for a lakeside property like that. You'd be looking at near 2 mill anywhere within an hour of Dublin. Kitchen can be refitted, even the toilet can be replaced. As long as the broadband infrastructure is there it looks like the perfect permanent Work from home set up.

It’s not really lakeside though is it? Looks like there is a road and then another house directly between this one and the lake. It does mention a 15m strip of private access to the lake, but there’s no pictures of it and no indication on the map of where it is. You’d think it would be something they would make a big deal of if it was a major selling point, but it’s definitely not like the gardens flow down to the lake edge or anything like that.

There is nothing on Land Direct to show access either.

Probably it was a b&b or even a cafe at one stage.

It’s an excellent house. Someone living in Dublin in a 400k semi, who can wfh and is ok with, or has relations in Donegal, that would be a no brainer. Even has an excellent office space.

Fine "Lake adjacent" so
I still maintain that a 4 bed with a separate office building for well under half a mill isn't exactly rip-off Republic. It'd just depend on the facilities surrounding Ballyshannon. Schools, shops, roads etc.

Google maps says that the current owners run a business called October House Designs so who knows, maybe there's other properties with that penned off kitchen design.

Ballyshannon is grand, big enough town. Close to Sligo, Donegal town, Bundoran, beaches/mountains/lakes of Fermanagh, everything.

I love this thread, but as long as it’s going, there’s no way I’m ever selling my house.

A bit more about it in the attached. Sold for almost 3m at the time, and apparently Daniel designed the house...

really obvious why he is the former boss.

The Donegal property was sold during the height of the boom in 2007 for almost €3 million.

The eight bedroom and eight bedroom house is on the market now for less than €1 million.

Former Irish Psychics Live Boss Tom Higgins bought Donegal Shore House, at Cruit Lower of Kincasslagh on the coast of Donegal

The Irish Psychics conference is cancelled due to unforseen circumstances.

We fitted a kitchen with a hatch like that before. It was to keep the dogs out of the kitchen. A huge lummox of a Labrador and a Jack Russell. The Labrador stole the pizza that we ordered one evening when working late trying to get the job done, so I got what they were doing.

They'd never steal my pizza again.
