    No way they will get 400K for that. The planning issues are bad enough but the only people who could realistically buy that are relatives or friends of the byrnes. Nobody else would have peace in that house.

    Exactly.
    You would need to be paid to live there, never mind paying that sort of money for it.

    Interesting to look at it on Google Maps and see the difference on streetview between 2009 and 2014. Hell of a lot of security equipment added after he bought it

    Apparently the windows are bulletproof...

    Not sure if this has already been posted, Felix Dennis's house for sale for 4million - it's certainly unique!

    The fake library (picture 11) wants to make me cry!

    I actually really like that aside from one or two features. Like the fake library with the bookshelf wallpaper :p At least it is unique anyway!

    For a poet and publisher, that's a really odd thing to have. It's not like he was illiterate and just wanted to make it look like he was into books. Unless there's a specific meaning behind it - they're images of shelves from a particular library or collection or something.

    I quite like it too, not 4M's worth (if I had 4M) but I like a lot of the features. All that timber in the pool area is a bit excessive and makes the pool look very small. The cottages are nice.

    It's like something you see in a Theme Park plus the Pool is tiny given the size of the Room.

    I love the quote on the wall in the gym.

    "If you want to learn more, keep your eyes and ears open, and your mouth shut".

    I love it. Apart from a few strange superficial design choices, the underlying building is superb.

    He's even written quite a sweet poem about it


    I BUILT MYSELF A HOUSE OF WOOD…
    I built myself a house of wood
    Where once an apple orchard stood.
    On stormy nights I lay in bed
    While rafters moaned above my head.

    They wept aloud for limbs long lost,
    For buds pinched out by early frost,
    For wicker baskets piled with fruit,
    For phantom branch and withered root.

    I caulked the roof and rafter beams,
    But still they whispered in my dreams,
    They spoke of rising sap and wood:
    — And then, at last, I understood.

    This spring I planted out a score
    Of apple saplings by my door.
    Now stormy nights my rafters chime
    To cider choirs and nursery-rhyme.

    Interesting house in Cork posted on the Journal property magazine - https://www.daft.ie/for-sale/detached-house-6-the-hermitage-sallybrook-glanmire-co-cork/3167693

    Mostly looks very nice BUT... is that a frosted glass window between the home bar and the weirdly elongated shower enclosure? :eek: :D


    Check out the wall on the left with all the bottles on shelves:
    NzMxN2ZjMDFlOWE2YTI1YjI1YTJjOGEyYTIxOGNiZGKeAc7m2N5FhMr2wYp51DvAaHR0cHM6Ly9zMy1ldS13ZXN0LTEuYW1hem9uYXdzLmNvbS9tZWRpYW1hc3Rlci1zM2V1LzcvMi83MjVmMTZkNzRhMzNiODkxNmJhZDYzZTRkOTkxOWM1MS5qcGd8fHwxMjAwfHx8fHx8fA==.webp

    and then the wall at the end of the shower room:
    MDY2NjljMzk2OGQ4NjAyZGI5MGIxNDFlNjE2OTNhMzYN2Qkqsp14gUpFDHMq90p8aHR0cHM6Ly9zMy1ldS13ZXN0LTEuYW1hem9uYXdzLmNvbS9tZWRpYW1hc3Rlci1zM2V1L2EvNS9hNWQ5MzIzZTI4NmRlZGY4NmNkOGU3MGQ3MzNjOWIxMy5qcGd8fHwxMjAwfHx8fHx8fA==.webp

    Guessing it's the swimming pool shower? Still weird!

    Do they have 4 ovens too?!

    Nice enough furniture and then you have a home made bar made from a couple of pallets that looks like someone in Transition Year built it.

    That pool shower room looks dirty, especially with the cleaning products up against the glass wall. I assume they did that to let in some light but it looks poxy and is a bad design.

    What's the white thing in the right hand corner corner against the glass?

    Looks like 2 ovens, an in-built coffee maker and a warming drawer. I'm having kitchen envy!

    The shower room is nearly as big as the pool!

    The kitchen is gorgeous (as in the units themselves). Not so gone on other bits in the house.

    Look at the length of the wall in pic 15 (with the bookcases against it) compared with the same wall in pic 16. These deceptive estate agents pics will hopefully go out of fashion as people learn how to read them.

    God... When looking through the first few pictures of that all I was thinking was the fake tan brigade would be all but invisible there, their tangerine tans would blend in perfectly with the lighting, especially the cinema and games rooms.

    There's a glass door from the sitting room into the shower too for some reason.

    Is the swimming pool an endless one, it might be but its hard to tell from the photo. If its not an endless pool then at only 6m long you would push off, do two breast strokes and have to turn around again which is pretty pointless.
