Who'd live in a house like this? Part 2

Also, look at the photos to see the office. From the sign outside, it seems to be a limousine company. If so, why does the office have two full length mirrors and 3 curtained changing rooms?

From what I found online, it was both a limousine hire and formal wear (ie tuxedos etc) company run by one Mr Joe Sinatra who was in the business a long time and may now be retired or deceased and hence the place being available to rent . I was hoping for a more interesting or salacious explanation, but oh well .

There's a single small skylight visible in the kettle reflection and Google maps confirms it. Not sure about the bathroom though.

It's like the Marriage of Arnolfini!!

Shabby chic! That wall makes the property worth Millions!

It looks like the time I made a cubby house in one of our sheds aged 9.

The more I look at it the dodgier it gets. I wonder did the limousine bring clients for "entertainment" as a sideline?

It looks like it's a few hundred yards down the road from Badda Bing.

Casting couch in pic 5 too, it really has it all!

With a kitchen/bathroom like that, it’s no surprise where the dining room is.

Please tell me there's a toilet also, just out of shot. :pac:

Is it a bathroom accommodating a kitchenette or a kitchenette accommodating a bathroom?

In between the cooker and the fridge?!

Handy to grab a beer while you shower.

I clicked in to that link and took a look at all the photos.
Someone needs to tell the owners that cows live in sheds, not people.

Great window placement in the bathroom.

You're like Colombo with your detective skills.

Oh I could be completely wrong but I did live previously with an Asian family who kept rice in big plastic containers like that

There was a couple of things in the decor that had me leaning towards Indian - the curtain style, the family photo in the bedroom, the bucket in the bath, the metal jug in the kitchen but I could well be putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 5.

It looks like an Asian family live there so I'd hazard a guess it's different kinds of rice.

I had thought they were extremely keen bakers

If you don't mind being so close to a busy road and taking on a renovation project it has savage potential but 400k is a big asking price for where and what it is.

The interior decor on this is very..... emmm.... swish? Anyone selling curtains and wallpaper in Clondalkin would have done well out of these owners. Special mention to the cushion on the couch.

I don't know Woodford, but Yellow Meadows just down the road is a decent spot. €225K for a 3-bed in Dublin is good value if the area checks out. It has been rented out for 10 years though.

I live about ten minutes walk from there, it's not a bad area at all. Those houses are very small, even the "big" bedroom is 12x10ft.

3 properties for 251k while there are very high rents about. A canny landlord could get them all rented to the council on long leases and have a very nice rent roll of around 25k a year, thats a 10% return on investment. They need a bit of money spent to furnish them but canny landlords always go to Bargaintown and buy the absolute cheapest of crap to kit it out.

Yeah as Alun said Ballyknockan just outside Blessington was a centre of granite construction back in the day with loads of stonemasons in the village who built their own houses by hand and worked on big projects in Dublin. Theres a granite quarry behind the village which supplied the granite for lots of churches in Dublin and buildings like Bank of Ireland on College Green. Blessington and the lake is an under rated piece of Wicklow. Take a spin around Lake Drive which is about 50km and circumnavigates the entire lake, its a very scenic drive on a good day.

Anyway a mate of mine over in London is going to view this house tomorrow, it definitely ticks the 1970s box in a couple of rooms

£675k is some wedge for that but Im told its 30 minutes by train to Liverpool St in the City which is a very quick commute in London terms

Christ, can you imagine the STATE of that carpet and matt around the toilet ??
