Picture 4 has me feeling dizzy.
If I had €3,500,000 I think I'd be buying something like this and retiring on the €2,000,000 change.
Im the opposite of you - I quite like the exterior and gardens. The interior though is truly awful - I hate how they have furnished it - a real example of money trumping taste there. I like the size of the rooms though and if it was furnished differently it would be a gorgeous house.
If I bought it I would even have to change the kitchen. All the rooms look cold, bleak and uninviting. Look at what I assume is the toilet in this photo. It probably is cutting edge design and was expensive but it does not look comfortable or practical. It looks ridiculous. Everything in this bathroom would have to go too.
I love the stain glass windows and doors, the room size, the exterior look of the building, the coving (not sure that's the correct term?). It's a bright, attractive, spacious house that's let down by the interior decoration. It smacks of 'new money' and no taste.
Well clearly I have "new money" no taste without the new money.
Their kids must be made of stern stuff, going to sleep with those bedside lights.
I thought that jacks was a bin.
Look at what I assume is the toilet in this photo.
Ah come on. Who wouldn't want to sh1te into an egg.
Going to look through all the pictures now but had to double check. That IS a toilet! 😂
I initially thought it was a wast bin 😱
I'd need to see a person in the picture for scale but that looks like a very small target for a male number 1.
I think its the dodgy camera lens again.
I just can't believe they spent all that money building and fitting out that house but went with the cheapest, nastiest looking electric heaters for it. Just look at picture 22. It sticks out like a sore thumb.
It does, and they are the ones that burn! (at a not particularly high setting) At what seems to be a kids bed. And the next picture (apart from the ultra white) could be from an 80's church, it also has one of those heaters.
The old wall (picture 32) does anybody know if that is the ruins of a real castle?
Apart from those heaters, surely they are involved in the furniture business, or tried it? It looks like a showcase for somebody's store.
Pretty sure I saw that flying around the sky in Wall*E
That’s a fine house…..fit for a king Master Strategist
I bet this guy doesnt even know how to use the three seashells 🙄
The reason flat roofs get a bad reputation in Ireland was how they were built here. Now a flat roof is perfectly fine but insurance companies still charge a lot more. The nordic countries can use wood exteriors means we can. Again it was the products and building methods that were the issue. This house doesn't have that problem.
I don't think I agree with the new money comment. New money tend to go with the latest fashion and extravagance. This look like a particular design choice with classic mid-century furniture that is not easy to get. I get what you are seeing but it is not far off a recreation of a modernist interior. I suspect some of the furniture is fake from the images and being aware they are on the market so the whole thing could be completely staged.

The toilet was also a seller on VidaXL for a while.
Can anyone make sense of this site? Does it include part of the n15? On the photos two sites are outlined. It's going cheap possibly because of the asbestos roof on the creamery and even though it's an existing site I'd say it would be hard to getting planning on a national road
Oh wow I kinda love this house:
Especially the sunken "conversation pit", the hidden room and the outdoor built in slide. Not too far outside Belfast either.
The holding includes a tiny piece of land across the road. I dont think they should have included the road in the outline though. I would say you are right about planning - it could be awkward.
The outside looks like our local church! This house wouldnt be for me at all. The owners seem to have tried their best to make it cosy and homely but it isnt working for them.
I could see my kids though having great fun jumping into the 'conversation pit' ( and driving me mad in the process).
I was thinking I was getting church/funeral parlour vibes from it. Mostly funeral parlour. Especially the entrance and the corridors/halls. Not all of it obviously, but enough of it. I wonder if it used to be something else.
I hate the brick, never a fan of internal brick finish, but this colour I find particularly offensive.
Plus it looks like a church.
If you look at any property it appears that ownership goes half-way across a road, on that one the tiny bit of land on the other side means you appear to have the entire road, but it doesn't actually work like that. Not sure why they do it like that, but it is the normal way of showing a site and does not suggest you have any right or ownership over the road.
The access to the house next door is dreadful - access to a major road with a 100 kph speed limit, just after a corner! There are several other sites accessing the road but it would not be wise to assume that you would get permission to do anything with that site, a chat with the planners would be essential.
Hidden bookcase door and the big steel slide out the side of the house suggests it was built by a big kid
Got this on Whatsapp this morning....🤣
What is wrong with that? We don't have to live in a boring house
It's very different 😁. Like others, it reminds me of a church or a community hall or something. I have to go through all of the photos yet.
Have to say I love the variety of the houses that people find for this thread. Well done to everyone! 😁
