OMG what looks like a sauna in a sitting room. House looks ok until you get to that picture. Bizarre! 😂🤣

Talk about squeezing them into those mews houses.
That is one weird house!
In fairness, I'd take the sauna in the sitting room over the bathroom (specifically the sink and bath surround) any day!
And you've just gotta love the entire Encyclopaedia Britannica on the shelf over the wine fridge - notions, or wha???
yeah that sink and bath are really dated. The "inspirational" poster though, ugh.
To many weird angles and strangely shaped rooms - painted wooden ceilings in the bedrooms and a big shortage of counter space in the long, narrow kitchen (hence the tiny kitchen block on wheels)....
I'd pass.
The hall cum living room is bizarre too.
Ugly inside and out.
And €1.25million!!
OK, it's big - but that's about all it has going for it.
ETA - wondering how it looks so tidy?? The walkthrough video shows all the (not very well) hidden secrets .....🤣
It is right next door to a beautiful villa.
Walk by it a few times a week. A weird layout, dark and narrow. And doesnt look at all as nice as the pictures. Most of the sq footage is taken up by the bizarre hall/living room.
Also where do these stairs lead to?!
Stairs lead down to the ruck full of junk. You can just see banister sticking out
“Eye catching Interior” I’d agree with that!
The bathrooms ...
While I am not sure I would want to live with the way the house is decorated, I don't dislike most of the exuberant bits, makes a change from beige and gold trimmings. The bathroom with the blue ceiling is a bit much though.
I'd be worried about those gutters... and the boundary line? are they overlapping?
Decor can aways be changed.
Jesus the stool for the computer chair. My back is aching just looking at it.
Clearly a lot of acid was taken in the design and decorating stage.
now down by 45k, from 170k to 125k
I like this!
This is quite the front door to come home to
I like it to be fair. You’d assume the estate agent told them to make it look as clean/neutral as possible (ie take down anything personal) but it’s a lovely modern house
Wouldn't pay a million for it, but you wouldn’t have to do much to make that place exceptional
Hate it - it would be like living in an office. It is soulless. I couldnt live in that as my main house - it would only be ok a few days a week as a city crashpad while working or something. Its clean and modern but god its bleak, cold and depressing.
Even worse it’s a protected structure so you would have to apply for planning permission or an exemption to remove the modern dropped ceiling. The conservation report would, I understand, be 4K before you do any work. Racket for most of these houses (including my own).
It's like a really fancy, high end, prison. All your external views seem to be obstructed by what looks similar to bars. I don't mind the sleek interior, but the feeling of being caged in would drive me out the front door, never to return.
To be fair the external views are not up to much at all if you check Streetview, it's on a very narrow lane way with another building across from it. Now I know why they have a painting of the canal on the wall - you can't see it from anywhere in the house.
You can basically do what you want, without planning, as long as you stick closely to guidelines. Then if anyone reports you, you have to sort your planning, which wouldn't generally be a problem if you didn't do anything drastic. Enforcement don't really care unless you do something really really drastic, and will often even contradict their own reports.
I love it. But then I love everything that ODOS do.

I cant imagine they would have an issue if you took down the suspended ceiling and revealed the plasterwork underneath that is hopefully in good shape.
those photos make the front look much better
Likely taken when the properties were newly-built, before someone badly cleaned off the graffiti.
I like it, including the gated off look. Perfect for an unsocial creature such as myself. If anything, I'd like if they had the option to go total block, like a sliding mechanism that closes over the holes. Interior, is a bit bleak and cold looking, but nothing a nice bit of personal decor wouldn't resolve. If you're buying a house for close to a million, you can probably afford to decorate it.
What struck me was how easy it would be to hoover! Bonus points in my book, I hate having to move crap to clean and this looks nice and without gaps or crevices for dirt to get stuck. However, negative points for all the glass (PITH to clean, but may be resolved with window cleaning robots) and white. Won €12 on the Euromillions, just a small bit more tomorrow night and I'll buy it.
