What's sad is, someone was obviously living there until recently enough. Crazy that people are still living in homes with outhouses in 2018! Where I grew up there was still a fair few houses around with no indoor bathroom well into the 21st century :pac:

That picture of the pope looking down on the bed though. Creepy.

Which pope is it?That will date the occupancy maybe.

Outhouses are fine. It is when they have to use "the bucket"; my old house way back was like that. No water, no bathroom. No kitchen sink... And in the 1911 census 14 lived there.

Total of 3 rooms.

I admire them for not being boring and doing a magnolia overdose on it.

Whilst there are things I don't like about it, there are certain elements that I certainly do like. I can imagine it would be difficult to sell at the asking price though given the decor, as it certainly would be niche.

I agree, there are elements of it that I do quite like, but personally I feel that maybe they went a bit overboard mixing all the colours/patterns together. Each to their own I guess, but I have a feeling they may find it hard to sell, as you said, there's probably quite a small market for that kind of house/decor here.

There's rooms there that would give me sensory overload.

I always wondered what happened to Austin Powers. Now I know. He went to live in Skerries.

FFS 49,000 Euro for a corrugated shed and the pics don't even show inside the structure, looks like a lovely area alright but jeezo.

Yes to the area: I used to trade there ..... and all the services connected too.. Someone must have lived there.

doolox · 13-06-2018 07:25PM

Could a good handyman/carpenter use the existing shell and build a proper dwelling on the site? That is the only way I would even consider a bid of 30k on that thing.

Presume the 50k is for the site.

The shed would be worth less than 1,000e

The shed would cost money to dismantle and dump.

OK it's a bit better than a shed but it's not worth the asking- €105,000 for 25 sqm.

Funny story . i actually got on to this guy before . he advertised as private sale on donedeal. I was after leaving my ex partner and considered buying it. When discissing property he said its unbelievable inside. Delighted i did not waste my time . i reckon it was his mum living in it. Also his asking price was 110000..........madness

the journal have a story up about the 11 saddest looking rentals in dublin at the moment. Some have been posted here before, others have not.
Surprised that they are drawing attention to some of the downright illegal stuff that is posted on their sister site. Although, they let us away with posting about it here too I guess....money's money

Every time I have a look at this thread I count my blessings. There's some amount of kips out there that landlords have the nerve to be charging stupid money for. I've lived in my fair share of crap gaffs down the years. One of them was on Nelson Street, where number 8 on that list is. The street is opposite the Mater Hospital entrance, so you have the added joy of listening to ambulances bee bawing all day.
EDIT. As an aside, when I lived there I used to hear a drunken guy ranting and raving on the street regularly. This was in 1995, it was the 50th anniversary of the end of WW 2, there was quite a bit about it on the news. Turned out the guy lived a couple of doors down and had an Irish flag with a Nazi iron eagle on the white stripe hanging in his window. He was roaring and shouting from his window. Ah, Dublin city in the rare aul times!

It looks well loved and an old wan would have been happy there, surrounded by family stuff... Every item would have been meaningful for them. Would have been horrified to hear you calling it a kip!

Have visited old folk in far far worse.

Cannot get the google close match up.

Interesting decor.

I am pretty sure that is the house of the people who used run a 20th Century design shop in Cow Lane. Some of that stuff is pretty expensive and rare. I love the design and stuff but tried similar and then toned it down.
