My aunt had a brown bathroom for years. I think they got it dirt cheap at the time.
They got rid of it about a decade ago and the plumber was mad for it.

My parent's bathroom still has peach sanitary ware. It's hideous but at least it's not brown. Do you ever think when you see some houses in the countryside that the owners built the house to be as big as possible and then just don't know what to do with all the space? Case in point is that Malahide kitchen. So many cupboards.

Thought the same
My head nearly exploded with all the potential puns and double entendres of a 'mad for it' plumber what with all the pipes, tools and leaks.
Then I got a picture of a XXX Super Mario zipping around avocado-coloured bungalow bathrooms.
I think I need to change my brand of coffee.

At least one of my neighbours ended up with a bathroom 4 x 4 metres in size, toilet looks lost in the corner.

Not to mention the imaginative landscaping of the garden.

Maybe I'm just used to living in a cottage with 2ft thick walls but the outside walls look really narrow in that house.

The Tetrarch

It has a pool table.
Any time I look on Daft I always think "would a snooker table fit in there".

Another interesting property from Longford Daft.

Photo 6 & Photo 9 both particularly striking.

TBH, I would buy that if I had more than dust in my bank account.

The house is clean, very clean. With furniture of that vintage, you'd expect everything to be a bit ragged, table legs duck-taped together, cabinet doors slightly ajar.

I would say this was lived in by someone who was meticulous about maintenance and cleaning, but absolutely refused to change or replace something that didn't need to be replaced.

Looking dated doesn't matter, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I expect this is being rented out by the owner who has moved into a home or in with family and left explicit instructions with the agent.

It's kind of sad, really.

Why are you quoting my post ?
I didn't even comment on the 'state' of the house.

Fairly serious bang of Criminal Assets Bureau seizure off that gaff.

No excuse!! Leyland trees are cheap as chips, ideally a Beech hedge. There is no sense of privacy there.

So what is wrong with it? Read the fine print, you cant do anything with it. Its like being stuck in a time warp with Austin Power from the 1970's.

So what is going on? Is it someone stuck in a nursing home or a child who wont let go? I reckon it would do your head in looking at those carpets.

Something almost perfect about that house. Looks like a film set from 1972 or some retro fantasy that has been painstakingly recreated by a hipster. It's immaculate. Apart from the composite front door and an electric heater, it looks like nothing has been touched in 50 years.

Some pitch on that roof. Do they get a lot of snow in Laois or something?

I'm guessing there's no roof slates/tiles so the snow will just slide off nicely.

Loving the view of the actual house's oil tank from the kitchen window while a bottle of gas sits outside the shed door. :pac:

The map view is brilliant:

Strand Road??? The nearest beach must be at least 100 km away

Anyone else think that the window views are a little off?

Reading this thread does interesting things to my dreams. Every night now I dream that I'm moving house, and the house is bizarrely huge with sketchy plumbing, electrics and a ridiculous floorplan. Am I the only one that gets this? I was up all hours looking at the houses last night and had very vivid dreams of this last night

Looks like the house is level with the dock wall, possible only 3m above sea level.

They look photoshopped in.

-=al=-

It looks like a lot more than the windows have been edited

The lighting is pretty strange and I'm not sure if it's just me, but it looks like some of the the furniture such as the lamps, towels, mirrors, plants, cushions and even a couch looks added in

Those windows are the funniest looking things I've seen on daft in a while, but the bunch of flowers in pic 7 is the best.

AlmightyCushion

The windows are definitely photoshopped. Just look at the reflection on the coffee table in the first picture. You can see the curtains reflected but not anything else in the window.

I think the lighting difference is just to do with the photoshopped windows. The lighting inside and outside is very different and really messes up the picture.

All those scenes can be seen from those apartments. The boats and stuff from the front (which technically is the back). The front doors are in a courtyard so the other places with steps etc are the apartments across from them.

OK maybe the address is correct, but the way that the photos are manipulated makes me suspect that the rooms featured aren't from the advertised property, which then makes me suspect is this a genuine ad or a scam?
