How come there isn't a proper road outside the houses? It looks like the developer built them all in a yard, and then just knocked two holes in the wall for access.

Edit: nevermind, I see they're quite old houses

Rows Grower

Not trying to be funny but what former glory do you think it had?

It looks like a semi detached house in a council built estate to me.

These type of houses make me sad for the original owner.
Very elderly owner without the money for upkeep or modernisation of their own proud home.
Probably moved to nursing home on Fair Deal scheme with house idle/rotting away until they die.

Place needs to be gutted & extended out of the back. It has an outhouse with toilets!!

Saw this beauty on daft today. Asking three quarters of a million for a house on Cork Street, Dublin 8. I'll describe the decor as interesting and modern and just leave it at that...

With a bit of investment (and a lot of insulation) I think this house could be amazing...but there is something about it that makes it feel like the ideal setting for a horror film. I'd say there's a 90% chance everyone who lived there would wind up being killed by an axe murderer. And someone has very probably already fallen to their death from that broken balcony...

The best investment you could make to that property is a weekend & a bulldozer.

I lived around the corner from there for a while. Yeah the city is on your doorstep but no way is that gaf worth the torment of living in the area. And the off licence right next door as well.

You’d think they’d spend a few quid on fixing the roof.

Towel rad in the bathroom wasn't perfectly vertical/parallel with the door.
My OCD couldn't let me go on after seeing that.

It’s a fungus. It’s easily removable using a fungicide and a power hose. We have to treat our house every few years.

ah right, had thought it was something in the concrete blocks that made the walls go red. Do you know what fungus it is, it seems strange some houses suffer from it whereas others nearby do not.

yeah you'd have to wiggle around the table to get up the stairs which is just stupid really. Those chrome/mirror finish tables are very footballers wives too. They look shiny in photos but I can only imagine the amount of fingerprints on them after a week or two.

Upstairs is a bit of a let-down when you look at downstairs.

I would never want a house like that, all the cleaning and heating bills would be insane. I also feel a bit for someone who put that much into a house, however tasteless IMO, to see it all gone for nothing. Probably caused them countless sleepless nights worrying about money.

That's very true. Started out I guess as someone's dream, and turned into a nightmare.

And I 100% agree as regards cleaning and heating it.

If it wasn't for the fact that there's a row of houses, I would have sworn blind that house was built by hand without and architect's help. There are so many little sticking out bits in rooms and nooks and crannies. Nobody in their right mind would design a house with such a terrible use of space.

I'd say it was bought, gutted and reconfigured by someone with a head full of dreams, a locked and loaded nail gun and a flatbed of plaster board.
