That is bizarre! Is the unfinished mezzanine the bedroom?

I don't understand the industrial floor covering, I presume it's industrial lino. Still, it would suit a single person with very few possessions and a healthy salary who wanted to be near town.

The old outdoor loo would be handy for the lawnmower. :pac:

It's the floor, kept looking at it and couldn't figure out what I hated, horrific floor.

Very, very weird house. Where is the bedroom? ðŸ˜‚

This is a new one for me, a "lean-to" bedroom. Which is in fact the house's only bedroom. The Dublin property market never ceases to amaze.

It definitely had 1600 on it earlier when I clicked through to it, must have been a typo they have since corrected

Boils my blood reading muck like this

"REDMOND PROEPRTY GROUP are delighted to bring this Studio apartment in 3a Avondale Road to the letting market.

3a presents itself in pristine condition with open plan living, one bedroom, kitchen area and separate bathroom."

Some example photos incase it gets taken down, or god forbid, rented.

It wouldn't be for me, but I clicked the link out of curiosity and the advert says rent is €600 - not €1600

There's an awful lot of work needed on the cheaper house and you wouldn't likely have any change out of €87k if you went about doing the work.

A very unusual property, an old train station, including the signal cabin and goods sheds.

https://www.myhome.ie/residential/brochure/ballinlough-station-ballinlough-co-roscommon/4511817

The railway line is still active including freight at night and runs right by it, they've done a good job not having it in the pics!

There was a large goods setup here hence the buildings and signal box away from the main line.

Bare plywood kitchen is tacky enough (thank you Dermot Bannon) but it looks like whoever did it managed to take any cosyness out of it whatsoever.

What made me want to post it here was the bathroom, though... (pic 8). You have to walk through the shower to get to the toilet..?

I have been following Drogheda property for a long time, and I can't see a butchered house on that road selling for 225k, current madness or not.

EDIT: Also, first bedroom only has the door in and out.. is that a fire safety thing? or is that allowed? I always thought bedrooms had to have a window big enough to get out of? or am I mistaken? (the bedroom is in the video if you scroll down the page).

I was thinking g the same, sure these lads would need to employ a team of people to keep the place ticking over as well. It would be more like staying in a private hotel. I can't see the collisons breaking out the Dyson to clean abbeyleix Manor anyway

looksee

I wouldn't argue with that at all, and if anyone wants to live in a huge place, that's up to them provided they can afford it. Those elegant rooms don't, for me. invite you to sit and relax, or do anything beyond maybe read a book. And to me they take your independence away - you could not maintain one of them without a staff of people to help, which puts a whole different complexion on them. I have lived in a house with staff and tbh I would rather do my own thing.

How many multi-millionaires, or even billionaires live in a four bed bungalow on a half acre (or a three bed semi-d) though? If you have a very large pot of cash, then you live in a house/home that reflects that. Their perspective is very different to the average working Joe. Even when they 'downsize' it's to a spacious and very well appointed "cottage" or penthouse apartment.

The world would be a boring place if we all shred the same modest outlook.

It's gone nuts. Nothing wrong with the property below, I've mentioned it to illustrate a point:

https://www.daft.ie/for-rent/apartment-the-new-hardwicke-church-street-dublin-7/3424989

I rented a one bedroom apartment in the same complex with my missus about 10 years ago for €700pm. Things have gotten out of hand. I don't know how anyone on a regular wage who has to rent is supposed to manage.
