800k in the metropolis that is Mohill... aye. 😂
"Within hot-coffee distance of Glasthule village" 😂 hot coffee is a new measurement of distance on me, lol.
€695k for a 2 bed house. It's a nice 2 bed in a lovely area but it's still a 2 bed terraced house. Used to be a 3 bed but they renovated and got rid of a third bedroom in favour of a large landing area now used as a lounge/home office. Could they not have had that in the third bedroom?
This is similar to the Drumcondra house a few pages back, it has damage, may need new foundations etc. But other houses on the same road seem to sell for around €600k - €700k.
How much would structural repair, or whatever is needed to get that back into shape, cost? Or maybe flatten it like the Drumcondra one, and rebuild?
Surely there would be a healthy profit to be made? It seems to have been on the market for around 3 years - admittedly 2 of those would have been during lockdown, but room for negotiations?
How much would underpinning cost for a house like that ? Would that be enough or would you have to redo foundations ?
Wondering the same, not that I could afford it anyway... 😂
There's a certain kind of person who buys a small house near the sea with a small and fully paved back garden.
This is really aimed at a couple with one child or no children at all. If they have no kids, the second bedroom is for guests, they have no need for the third one. If they have a kid, they won't have guests :D
Both people working in the city, plenty of cash, €695k is nothing to them and the house is small enough that it requires minimal maintenance.
Glasthule strikes me as the posibly the most expensive location in the country per square foot or metre. The houses always seem to be tiny, but the price tag enormous. It's surrounded by very nice areas, but isn't particularly interesting in itself.
It has Cavistons. Nuff said…..
It's also within walking distance of Dun Laoghaire seafront, DL pier, DL town, Lexicon, Sandycove beach and the DART. I agree that the houses are for the most part very small and overpriced for what you get. Even people who live there are astounded at some of the prices :)
I always think of that end as Sandycove...
The Eden Road end, where all the houses, are is quite unremarkable. But eye-wateringly expensive for little houses.
Yes, it could be underpinned but it's not an easy (or cheap) job in that Skerries house. You can actually see clear daylight out through some of the cracks so it's pretty serious. And underpinning is only your first job. You then have to fix up all the cracks etc. and they need a lot more than a little bit of filler. Some of them might need to be reinforced etc.
I think it's significant that this house is priced at €275k when good houses in the area are selling for €600k+.
really only for the brave/knowledgeable with a pocket full of cash.
It could be a disaster alright. My thinking, and this is pure guesswork is about €70k to underpin it and make good the walls. But that's just the start. Needs everything new, windows, insulation, plumbing, wiring etc. etc. Would you have any change out of €300k after doing it up.............probably not.
First stop, an engineering report. Second stop, the pub for a large brandy after reading the engineering report. 😁
Internally and externally this is one of the most bizarrely designed houses I've clapped eyes on in a long time.
It's like they started with an 1980s bungalow and then just kept going
...an extension ?
- shur why not
another extension?
yeah it'll fit there somewhere
how about a tower of some sort?
yeah go on
The layout is pox. You have to circumvent the courtyard to get to the other side of the house.
The arched doors, the pine, the coloured bathroom suite...
The tower seems to serve no purpose, just decorative....
Edit: apologies, it leads to a random lounge. Imagine getting a drink in the kitchen and schlepping it to the "lounge"?
The entrance/front door looks like a prefab or mobile home...
Everything is just 🤯
That house was on here before. I forgot the house but as soon as I seen the workshop it all came flooding back.
Crikey. That bathroom suite is the colour of raw liver.
I built something like that in my last Valheim playthrough!
Handy void though. Always wanted a nothingness in a house.
I really dont know where to start with that weird house
Why is the pantry on the opposite side of the house from the kitchen. I thought the pantry was FOR the kitchen? Who wants to walk for 5 minutes just to get some pasta?
Wasn't there a fairly similar looking house (from the outside anyway) posted here in the last few weeks or am I imagining it. Can't find it, but could've sworn there was..
Posted here 6 months ago.
Virgin did a documentary in March about CAB which was an eye opener.
If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth a watch.
The main bedroom and office are right next to the games room. Two rooms where you want peace and quiet next to what is probably the noisiest room in the house. Plus to get to the games room you have to go through the office. It'll be great trying to get some work done as the kids run in and out of the games room.

Slightly off topic, but anybody on Instagram might be interested in a page called 'Ugly Belgian Houses'.
As they say; 'It's better to be ugly than boring.'
Just saw this on twitter.

Jaysus.....yer man went a bit O.T.T. when he says he likes to polish the ol' helmet....
