That house reminds me of some roadhouse function-room type of place, out in the middle of the country - Fountain Bleu near Mullingar, anyone remember that? I was never in it, but that's the sort of place that immediately sprang to mind.
Some 60's/70's establisment, with some domestic furniture thrown randomly into all the rooms to make it into a house.
That sitting room is the most uncomfortable looking space I think I've ever seen (although I love the roundy leather couch!) - a less inviting living space I cannot imagine.
I remember that name Fountain Bleu alright and ikwym about a roadhouse/ function room.
I kept expecting to see JR and Sue Ellen in the house somewhere 😁 because of what freshpopcorn said when he posted it.
Fountain Blue, it's/was outside of Longford, somehow the building is somehow still standing, no idea why someone hasn't levelled it and used the site for a petrol station over the years
Don't think many people would be too keen on this one.
I heard somewhere that Big Mickey bought it (yes, Big Mickey, the furniture guy at the other side of Longford!). There was a bit of tidying done on the site a couple of years ago.
I think they use it for storage but not 100% sure on that
Meh, wouldn't bother me - everyone ends up dying somewhere.
You'd be surprised.
My sister in law has a rental apartment in Spain. A man died there and wasn't discovered for over two weeks. The agent eventually found him when they went to the apartment because he hadn't returned the keys.
They had to bring in a specialist cleaning crew to deal with it, but you'd never know it happened.
Someone really likes orange. Its everywhere.
That decor gave me an instant headache. At first look I thought the green on the walls was mould!
Gentlemen, if you don't have these shoes, you aren't allowed to enter that house.
There was an old wooden kitchen chair in one house I rented.. Man explained it HAD to stay as the previous owner had died sitting on it... Never liked that chair after that..
A little surprise in the last few photos if you don't read the description first!
It's like something Maggie would show on cheap Irish homes. Imagine the opportunities for your mortgage to be paid from renting the commercial side.
She absolutely would @jaffa20 - in fact in one episode she did show a building with a post office downstairs! I think it was somewhere in Wexford though, it was probably a fine house in it's heyday.
You could have hours of fun in that as a kid.
I hope I'm not the only one who purposefully ignored the description so I could get the surprise
Yes but slightly let down in the end. I was hoping for a spanking dungeon.
Sorry about that, I'll keep looking 😄
There was a UK “makeover” show that had a couple (mostly the woman) converted an old rural police station with holding cells etc
can’t think of the show now but quite recent as covid effected
'Formally Mohill Post Office...'
Aaargh. Formerly, not formally!
In the last series she had a a property very similar to above. It had a commercial premise's on the street front rented at 800/ month if I remember right. I cannot remember what business was in it
This one has the full set, Pope John Paul II, Mother Teresa, Padre Pio & the Child of Prague.
Also a bonus Switzers shopping bag thrown in....how many years has that been gone??? EDIT - Brown Thomas bought Switzers in 1990, so 32 years ago?
Sadly I think this was lived in until very recently.
At least they had lots of colour in their life.
The TV in picture 7, hope they save that
The urinals in the kitchen are a nice touch
The kitchen features a new wet bar
Thats a new one to me.
Why can’t they use the kitchen sink like a normal person? Maybe they were planning on having a lot of parties and needed the extra capacity??
I thought it was cute that one of them has a step in front of it so kids can use it too.
They also take being "on the throne" a bit too literally...
Heil Hitler - sort of.
