Some houses just weren't intended for Ireland after we all got notions and decided that we're too good for net curtains. :pac:

On street view at least half the houses here have net curtains, a few have blinds, or a high hedge. Not too many showoffs with nothing covering these massive front windows. Can only imagine the trouble back in the day with young lads playing football in the front garden - would have cost a week's wages to replace those panes.0 -

When I zoom in in the photos there seems to be a curtain they’ve pulled back in the window frame.0 -

There certainly was.
People in 40 years time are going to look back in horror at some of his designs.0 -

To me they seem to have night time curtains and something else in the window frame. I know people who used have nets like this and they used only close them when they wanted more privacy.

"Hi neighbours, just letting you know we're going to have sex on the couch. No peeping through the net curtains after I pull them."

Based in Foxrock I don't think they would have a problem with the cost of a new window or energy bills mind.0 -
