I'm very disappointed by the "big steel slide". Not sure what I was expecting but certainly something more than you would find in a childrens playground.
Maybe it was built with the actual kids in mind? I don't see anything wrong with a slide in the garden or a hidden bookcase door, it's closing off the office from the rest of the house very well.
Why is there a TV behind the conversation hole? There isn't a single chair facing it!
Nothing wrong with it, I think its great fun. Just pointing out its clear whoever designed it was a big kid at heart
Kinda defeats the purpose of the "conversation pit" if everyone is just watching the TV, no?
I will gleefully accept my 'Big kid' title because if I were ever building a house it 100% would have a secret hidden room behind a bookcase and possibly also an outdoor slide. I have no children and don't intend to ever have them either. So it would be all for me. :)
I agree, I'm just wondering why there is one there at all. Seems odd and a complete waste.
They're unlikely to drive you mad. You'll be in the other room where you can actually watch the TV from the sofa instead of having it behind you.
I love those 3Dview options. Great for having a look around 👀😁
This is a nice area of Limerick (actually a cul de sac road which has a bottleneck in the mornings leading onto a very busy road).
But, this looks doll size, in a densely built up area. And while detached technically, it looks to be all but joined to the neighbours. Nice enough home, but... €525k?
And, as this is a showroom, what is the actual point of picture 8? And of course, no floor plan.

FROM 525k
To give the aspirational plebs hope 😂
Sorry, couldn't look at it. The 2 picture numbering systems, including the chaotic one on the left, wrecked my head by the 5th pic.
I'll have to go off and tidy my sock drawer to recover.
If I had €3,500,000 I think I'd be buying something like this and retiring on the €2,000,000 change.

This house is beautiful. It must have got caught up in the messages and didnt get the recognition it deserves!
There are no TV's in any of the rooms - what did they do of an evening?? 😁 or is the furniture just brought in for the photos??
A lot of money but I wouldn't be surprised it it sells out off the plans. Crazy stuff going on recently with new builds around the city.
To me it looks like a new build that's being staged for sale, re lack of TV's I would say the fixings for them are hidden by paintings/mirrors for the staging. I might be mistaken but that's what it looks like to me.
I am actually building one at the moment and plan to have 2 into the same room and maybe a secret court yard too. Kind of depends on what my wife will accept.
Yes, but those are both things that imo are the "good" kind of whimsy, rather than the weird murals, naff shebeens, Celtic Tiger garishness etc that typifies bad design choice in this country
I assumed this was a grass roof, it's just overgrown from the garden! Or as they put it "charming period property with wisteria and clematis creeper."
How much will it cost to rescue that roof?
That is an OK house but the money is insane given it has no period charm. It looks like it was done in the 80s and what ever was there before that may have had charm is gone. The fake wooden beams are a joke. A lot of money would need to be spent on the property and it is BER E1 too. I wouldn't worry about the roof much as it could be fine underneath
That is a lovely house, and doesn't seem overpriced at all. Don't think there is anything in it I don't like.
Don't forget the secret bomb shelter like this one.
You don't think €750k is overpriced for that? 😱
It's a fine site but the house needs a bit of modernising and that crap on the roof does do damage. I'd a shed that had roof tiles lifted off of it because I was too lazy to remove the ivy etc. growing beside it.
You'd get nicer than that for €750k.
East Wicklow property, especially along the M11 corridor, always goes for a hefty premium. Ashford, Rocky Valley Drive etc. are enclaves of millionaire properties,
I saw the whole place as a site with planning permission requiring bulldozing of existing structures.
Massive leylandii, small windows, not enough of the interior I'd like to justify keeping it, eg stone floor tiles (cold), dark red kitchen with Aga which was fine for aspiring Calor housewives of the year back in the 80s, but completely impractical for modern families, bathroom styling no thanks. Storm porches (single glazed) added on since the house was probably freezing. Are all the structures in the garden garages or sheds or granny flats?
I just did a search of Wicklow on Daft. Fcuk me, people in Wicklow are getting rode sideways when it comes to property prices.
I showed it to three people, one was my mother. All three didn't like it at all, and said it was crazy money..
I don't know. Wicklow and Leitrim have me fecked guessing prices. They vary massively depending on their whereabouts in the county.
Leitrim, €20k can be overpriced. Wicklow €2m can be a steal.... But in a different part of the county (not too far from wherever they may be) it's the opposite.
😭🤪 It would drive you batty.
€750k for that, relatively close to Greystones, Bray etc. and into Dublin doesn't seem like a massive amount to me. But I am obviously very very wrong.. 😬
Speaking of Wicklow... I get the whole pretence of grandeur vibes in this house. But photo number 2 has be thinking the owner is a complete arsėhole "I'll just build my mansion in your front lawn"

If I'm forking out 4.5 million I don't want my neighbours living in my backyard.
Christ, that's ugly.
Once you get past the sheer pointless vastness of it, the interior is attractive. But its more like an institution than a home. Pic 13 upsets me though, the thought of coming down those marble steps with wet feet.
Taking a €1m hit compared to 5 years ago.
According to that article the other house was already on the property and while their original intention might have been to extend that, they decided to build new instead.
