Ony 5km to two very nice beaches. Would that garden be big enough?

You'd need to really, real, really enjoy cutting grass to live there,

I think some amateur farming to keep occupied, maybe go somewhat towards being self-sufficient during retirement.

Shocking bang of McMansion off that and the cheap white cack PVC windows and doors give it a twist of private nursing home.

To be fair, it looks well, bathroom needs a bit of modernising and a few rooms need a bit of TLC but surely for that price you'd get off street parking and a better garden?

I can’t believe that on her wages she hasn’t installed a decent wet room with walk-in shower.

Strange one that.
It looks like a farm house with the sheds a field away, although the sheds are not included in this sale.
With the mature trees on the drive, I suspect there was an older dwelling there that was demolished.
I thought farms were usually auctioned.
Maybe it was split a while back between siblings or something.

And one gopnik.

At least we know where all of Miriam O'Callaghan's bathrooms went.

I hope not, no one wants a stranger pooing in their hall.

You'd think he'd use the toilet instead of going on the floor, it's just beside him.

Miriam's house is lovely but the decor is horrible, especially the pale blue and the leather sofas.

be careful there are a few in the thread who love the colour

Looks beautiful on the walls with the coving, but I agree, it doesn't work with the sofa's. or even up the stairs. and certainly not in the kitchen.

The kitchen is hideous and soulless imo. I would genuinely feel sad having my morning coffee in there

There's actually so so much about that house I don't like and usually I love those type of houses.

I'll keep my €1.6m in the bank for now..

Miriam's taste suits mine, I think she made a lovely job of the place, and I tip my hat to her, but that's crazy money-overall I mean. That gaff in Malahide for example-a million and a half???

Is there a collective madness in Dublin or what? They're at the same nonsense all over again.

The photos are badly done, and make the house look depressing.

Yes, just bits of rooms.
The sitting room, (I presume), for example, seems to be a couch, an armchair and a table with remotes left on it.

It's hard to believe that a house that looks so large on the outside looks so small inside. It's like the anti-Tardis.

Also hard to believe that a professional estate agent would put so little effort into the listing. I had assumed that the lad sitting under the stairs had just thrown it up onto Daft himself. It's POA, feck all pictures, feck all effort, feck all information. Is there something else going on that they owners have to be seen to be trying to sell it, but don't really want to?

What i don't understand is that they could have built whatever they wanted there and yet with all that space they have these tiny bedrooms.

From the outside, a relatively normal looking 3 bed Semi D.

But not only is there no pictures of the inside, there's no mention of anything inside the house at all. AMV €60k.

Just how bad is it in there?

The double doors, I don't know why, remind me of a village hall, or a waiting room of some sort

Love the colour, agree I would change the sofas. I'm not a fan of leather sofas personally

I wonder what the notes on the door and window say.

Signs on front doors are never a good thing.

In the street view from 2019, the house looks occupied and perfectly normal.

Google the auctioneer's name. He is also a family butcher. Jack of multiple trades!

A lot of modern one off builds use double main entrance doors, it can add a feeling of space and grandeur.

Tbf, I wouldn't expect a 3bed semi in killeshandra to cost much more anyway, might not be too bad inside

A fairly bog standard 3 bed semi in any remotely fashionable suburb is half a million. That's a much bigger house in a very desirable area. It's always going to be a multiple of that. The problem with Dublin is the low-rise sprawl. We have the lowest national rate of apartment living in Europe, presumably off the back of the screw-up with Ballymun poisoning public opinion of them.

There are 2 bed terraced houses in the village going for ~€80k. I'd guess this should be going for quite a bit more than €60k. Either something is up, or the price is low to attract bidders to the auction. Bought for €43k suggests it's being done up from a very bad state, and possibly the internals aren't ready for photos. I'd definitely be looking into flooding, fire, etc.
