I am very curious about the small door in picture 26. I do love the shower, and most of the showers look good, and the kitchen is well done - has been modernised but fits the feel of the house.
But overall, this house doesn't exactly scream luxury, or even "comfortable and cosy" though, does it? I struggled to find one sofa that looked like you could curl up and read a book on.
It's a lot of house for the money but its like a museum piece. It would almost be a shame to modernise it. And the electric bill must be scary, every space has multiple lights.
But it would be a great guest house for hosting "murder mystery" type weekends.
That's the skeleton's closet, he only got out for a bath.
Its where Dobby lives.
Sink is too big to be of any real usefulness in my opinion. And no need to have a cooker that size. Typical US oversizing of appliances.
This was semi-open to the public for a while. I think the owner did a few things to try and make money out of it but none of it worked. You'd have to blow the celtic tiger-style "renovations" out of it and replace with something classier. Trying to get your money back out of it would be a nearly impossible task. Castletownroche isn't exactly a tourist hotspot anymore since the last fish was caught in the Blackwater
So the fishing rights are worthless?
Plenty Salmon and Trout back in the Blackwater and Awbeg since the drift nets were banned
Grand size sink for washing a toddler in.
Did your mam never give you a quick bath in the sink? 😂
I don't remember - though I do remember getting my hair washed in the kitchen sink because that is where the rainwater tap was. I did however wash my own toddlers in the sink occasionally. 😀
One bed penthouse up for grabs at the InterContinental for €1.2m
Hideous beige drapes on everything. Cheap plastic plants. Who'd live there? Good question.
That island in the kitchen though 😂
That is the smallest kitchen island I have ever seen
Looks like a hotel suite, not a home. Hate all the heavy drapes and there is too much furniture in that living space. It looks crowded and cluttered.
Didn't see a washing machine but I suppose it could be integrated. (Nowhere for a clothes horse either, and you definitely wouldn't be washing any toddlers in the kitchen sink!) The bath barely looks big enough for anyone larger than child size!
Overall, luxurious, but impractical.
That is absolutely awful!
But enormous, for a one-bed - so strip all the mad drapery and chair cover and gilt-y furniture, put in some normal furniture and decoration, and that would be a stunning city pad.
Whether you'd be allowed to do that is another matter entirely - I wonder does it come with conditions?
Is breakfast included?
That would be a deal breaker for me.
Its astonishing how much horribleness they have managed to squash into one apartment! Oversized beige and syntho-wood furniture, and ready installed clutter. You get two rows of imitation books, a shipping order of glass table lamps and chairs with hoodies, not to mention the naff plants everywhere.
It's not supposed to be a home, probably a pier de terre to be used for a few days a year.
I think it is meant to be a home. Gay Byrne moved into something similar in ballsbridge when he sold his house in howth.
Albert Reynolds also, I think, lived in that kind of a setup - a hotel apartment in his later years.
A great find for the thread. I wonder if it comes decorated like that and you can't change anything. 😁
Perhaps, but Gay wasn't washing toddlers in the sink or hanging clothes on horses I don't think. :)
It is a 1 bed apartment. It is clearly not aimed at families with children.
The way it's decorated, it looks to be aimed at a certain ethnic minority. 😁
Fendi cushions on the bed. Probably about €1k each (if genuine).
God help us. I'd be nervous I'd spill something on them. Give me an easily replaceable cushion cover from Homestore or Harry Corry and I'd be much happier.
The curtains and chair covers are absolutely hideous. I know I'm probably the worst person in Ireland to talk about fashion but is it really fashionable to have curtains that pile up in a heap on the ground? I think it looks shocking.
I'm guessing that it comes that way. Very very overdone and old-fashioned hotel furnishings.
All that dust catching material is all I can see 🤣!
If you could strip all that out, it's in a great location, and very handy for me to stay over now and then when I win the euromillions 🤣
I like the idea of it. The decor would need to be ripped out and minimised but imagine living in a really nice hotel? Sounds great.
As well as the dust, imagine the spiders that could be hiding in all that material! 😱
You'll have a cleaner to dust, relax.
Nah! All the spiders are in my house 😮
