Edited sorry about that
Jesus, that's depressing! A bit of colour, somewhere other than the tiny kitchen table as a place for a TV and wardrobe doors would have made a big difference. You get free hangers though!
It's clean, bright and modern but would be like a form of torture on a dull, wet day.
Two minutes from graveyard when you finally give up at the thought of paying that much for there
Modern apartments and houses have materials built into them that stops the spread of fire. These garden sheds that are rented out to students have nothing of the sort. It doesnt matter that they are on the ground level and the door is right there because when people are sleeping and a fire breaks out it is the smoke that sends them unconscious and then the fire that kills them.
You only have to look at what happened in Carrickmines on the halting site in 2015, 11 people including children died in those caravans yet they were only a door way away from safety. But they were not able to rescue themselves because the smoke inhalation had already knocked them out.
The other problem is the electricity supply, these sheds dont have an independent supply but instead they have electrical wires running from the main house. If a qualified electrician was to wire one of these up for cookers, fridge freezer, tv points, washing machines etc and later an electrical fire breaks out with a death occurring the electrician himself is wide open to being sued. I would say qualified and experienced electricians would stay away from that type of job because the landlord is asking them to knowingly break fire regulations by wiring up a shed for habitation that doesnt meet what is specified in law. So what it ends up in is either the landlord does the wiring themselves or some handyman who isnt a qualified electrician does it. Because of an unqualified person doing it the chances of something going wrong and a fire breaking out actually increase.
At this stage there are thousands of these garden sheds being rented out in Dublin and all around the country, they come up on Daft all the time. If you Google Earth around DCU you can see lots of them in peoples gardens that are more likely than not being rented out to student for easy money while ignoring all the fire regulations. Its a recipe for disaster IMO, sooner or later we are going to see a tragedy in one of them.
At least that's handy!
I have too many questions...
A quaint little cottage until the owner decorated after taking LSD ...
Elvis is god. Haha! Two pictures of Jesus and a massive picture of Elvis in between them.
When you're enjoying a Friday Funday with your OH in that bed, are you more creeped out by Jesus or Elvis watching you? 🤔
Elvis and Jesus approve
A building made with fire retardant materials to help slow a fire if one occurs and thereby give the occupants time to evacuate.
A building made to a certain standard to help prevent damp and the effects that mould can have on the occupants.
Electrics that adhere to certain standards to help minimise the risk of fire or electrocution.
A radon barrier installed to help prevent the occupants from dying of lung cancer.
Heating systems that adhere to certain standards to help protect the occupants and the environment.
A carbon monoxide alarm to help prevent the occupants from potentially dying from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Doors and windows that are of regulation height and width that help allow people ease of access/exit in an emergency.
That's just a few things that I could think of off the top of my head.
Just on that topic of sheds and electrical problems, this is the type of thing going on. Recipe for disaster

Good point! 😂
Fancy living 'off-grid'?
At least you can pass the time dancing.
You know, the way the world is at the minute. It's very very tempting.
Not at that price!
My favourite is the sitting room, because it's literally a sitting room, there's not much else you can do in it.
I like it, but no running water or electricity is a step too far. It would be very cold and damp.
Be hard to get a crowd for your own dance hall there too.
Too close to the neighbours for my liking...
Tempting! 🤔 The island is uninhabited according to Wikipedia.
At the other end of the social scale, you have this little gem. Couldn’t swing a cat comes to mind. 😬

It's the little little touches that make the difference - like being able to have a little rest on the stool after walking so far from the kitchen to use the microwave.
I don’t think that the cupboard doors will even swing fully open in the space between the worktop and the bed
And you can sit watching the microwave instead of watching tv. 😂
This also caught my eye in the ad. 'Dublin 2 is a vibrant and energetic village just 15 minutes walk from the city centre of Dublin.' Dublin 2 is a village, eh?
I am only after seeing this now. 😂
While the decoration is probably not what most people would go for, you somehow get the impression that whoever lived there was content living there and enjoyed their house.
That's very true. 😊
I agree... to a point. I wouldn't mind the lack of electricity so much (although the compost toilet doesn't sound too appealing) you could get a generator, but the lack of water is the deal breaker. Living 24 hrs in the modern world without running water is a nightmare never mind perpetually.
"Built from local stone"
Looks like an off the shelf land commission cottage to me. The ones of that era are typically mass concrete and flaky
(basing that on the half dozen we looked at in that region)
yeah like how are you supposed the wash the dishes? In the lake or something? Or be lugging loads of 5 litre water bottles on your boat from 'the mainland'?
130k is way over priced for that anyway, the seller in New Zealand is chancing their arm that someone has more money than sense. It could actually be a scam given they are trying to sell it themselves from abroad. Anyone paying a 13k deposit for that into a foreign bank account has no comeback
