Doesn't look like it to me at all. Just tacky taste - it's a common aesthetic at the moment among non Travellers where I grew up. It looks like a hair salon on South William Street.

House is in good nick though, easy to get in shape. The back garden is a let down though.

I agree about the garden, I was expecting ornamental cherubs & a hot tub.

The kitchen and most of the rooms are grand. Back garden could certainly use work.

I thought everyone has a couch or chairs in the kitchen?
Do ye all go sit in the sittingroom to relax?
Is the kitchen not the heart of the home.......

Chairs, ya; the wooden upright ones at the table where visitors sit until they get too uncomfortable and leave. Never give them something they can sink into.

Can't believe they didn't replace the carpet on the stairs/landing.. and no mention of the shed/house at the end of the garden

I have a sofa in mine and I'd never go back to not having one. The missus being Polish wanted one as she always had one in her family kitchen and well it makes a lot of sense. Providing you have the space for it, it's far more comfortable than sitting at the table. It makes being in the kitchen a far more relaxed affair.

That's mad, the first thing I thought of when I read 'sofa in the kitchen' is that our Polish neighbours have one. I never know where to sit.

It must be their version of having a toaster in the cupboard.

I always wonder from looking at different houses, why there is sofas in the kitchen area. I know the kitchen is the heart of a home but a sofa is a bit extreme imo.

I'm getting a porcelain fetish vibe more than anything. That lampshade is one serious piece of work.

But no horse or religious representation.

So, more someone with a high level of individual taste.

Can you imagine what the estate agent was thinking as they took the photos?

I can't figure that house out at all.

Did they split the living room in two, creating what looks like an altar or something in one bit, and a telly room barely wider than the couch in the other?

No wonder they haven't provided a floor plan!

The decor isn't bad in fairness, I like the kitchen cabinet and those wooden floorboards that I think are actually tiles. Just need to get rid of the knick-knacks and those ostentatious pillars. That TV room is like something from Being John Malkovich. Couches wider than the front door.

Overall, the house wouldn't require much work, I'd say.

That navy kitchen is cool. Not sure about those glass patio doors inside the house, they look weird, as do the silly pillars on the front.

As far as I can make out, the baptismal font room is at the front of the house. The narrow sitting room is at the back, you can see the exterior of it in the 11th photo.

One of the things does look like a strange baptism font.

Any house I've been in that has a sofa in the kitchen they generally spend there day and evening in the kitchen and would rarely venture into the living room.

Of course not, that’s where they cook. :-p

To sort the damp and the extension and modernise is going to cost 80 to 100k approx.

Ah I dunno. When I moved into my first house I discovered there was damp, and most of the back had no foundations. It didnt cost anywhere near 100k to fix, it was a small fraction of that.

I wouldn't mind, but it was an an aunt who sold it to me. Just goes to show, always get a surveyor in!

Damp, needs gutting, no parking, no garden, really a 1 bed as the 2nd bedroom is a wardrobe with a water tank in it. The extension is self build, unfinished and needs pulling down. 230,000 euro.

Don't seem damp. A lot of damp can be solved by digging a trench around the perimeter and filling with gravel which can be done for free. I don't see why it needs gutting, aside from that extension which might be very fragile.

That's lovely. A short drive to the Dart station, for easy access to Dublin. I'm not seeing the issue.

Maybe I lived in Dublin for too long.

To sort the damp and the extension and modernise is going to cost 80 to 100k approx. Then you're left with a property that has cost you 300k to 330k that has 1 bedroom, no parking and no garden.
Access to Dublin is 90 minutes each way door to door. 15min drive to the park and ride, 10 min from car to dart, 55 min on dart then walk to office.

300 to 330 you could get a bungalow in the same area that is modern and has garden front and back.

Carpet and curtains are lovely. The rest of the house is meh.

A huge bugbear of mine is sofas in the kitchen. It's in nearly every new development brochure I see these days and it just boggles my mind. There's never enough room in the kitchen for a sofa plus a dining table. If I'm in there I'm either cooking or eating, neither of which takes place on a sofa.

definately a generational thing , we dont have one in our kitchen , my mother has one in her house and sits on it a lot more than the one in the living room

That's OSB, if you look at the listing its held up about as well as you'd expect raw OSB to hold up in the outdoors, I.E its a gust of wind away from being open planned.
