    why was there a door in the window behind the slats? Seems a bit pointless?

    Privacy I think, they can see out, people can't see in.

    We know what the slats are for, the question is why there was apparently a door behind those slats.

    Spotted the door also... That would annoy me. A door that cannot be opened due to the slats on front of it. Should have been fixed window panes IMO

    Are ye on about the black front door?

    Are you sure it’s a door and not a long window that has handle not unlike a door handle?

    I’ll have to watch it back.

    I always wonder how people pay for it? I mean 580k is more than most would ever be able to spend on a house and then another 280k for renovating? Fair play, they are doing well for themselves.

    Well I guess detached with a nice size plot comes at a huge premium. I respect that they took "buy the worst house on the best road" quite literally.

    It actually looks like good value for the money compared to what was done last week.

    I dont get it. 580k gets you a serious house 20 minutes out the road. Nuts.

    800k for an A rating detached 3bed with a pretty generous plot for Dublin in one of the most sought after areas of the city isn't too surprising methinks.
