With a tile missing long enough to have stained the stonework on the front! Very cobbled together, no insulation, electrics need finishing, all decorative finish/presses to be removed, 100 to 120 be more like a price.
Great so we're paying for it 🙄🙄🙄
So do you think they'll sell at a loss and write off the difference or pull it if they don't meet a price they want?
Pull it and sell it to Eamon Ryan for next to nothing so he can grow his lettuce. :-)
I've got chills (and not of the good kind) just looking through those pictures ❄️
This is kind of cool. Not a bad price considering the location.
I hope those windows are triple glazed, it's right on the road along the canal.
It's lovely but also gives me Patrick Bateman serial killer vibes with all those white clean surfaces.
The master bedroom with the floor to ceiling glass is very overlooked and neither the ensuite or the bathroom have a window, that's enough to turn me off.
Looks like double glazed windows too, which I think were standard in 2008 when it was built.
It's really a home for someone in their 20s with no children and their priority is their social life.
Jaysus, you'd want to have some well paying job to buy that house in your 20's at nearly €800,000 and then also likes to party.
the bedroom has blinds.
Bit of a pain having to close them of you want a shower and to be able to walk out of the ensuite without getting dressed.
It wouldn't be for me.
I wouldn't call it very overlooked. There are mature trees. I wouldn't normally suggest having your willy hanging out in winter with the blinds open, but you'd probably get away with it 😂
Well, I don't have a willy but I'd still rather some privacy in my own bedroom.
Each to their own though.
I bet those are the photos that were taken in 2008 right after it was built.
Could easily go for double the guide. the site and 11 acres are probably worth the guide.
HA (2.5 acre site), ya tile an issue but rest of the structure looks ok. Should make the reserve.
Property like that on BidX usually goes for 30-50% with the AMV.
Apart from the hole in the roof and consequent damaged stonework, plus whatever else inside, the peculiar mess of badly applied lining paper on the walls - what is it covering? The cheapest possible timber, panel doors, rads, windows, half installed electrics, diy presses, very bottom of the range flooring and so forth, you have an arrangement of block walls with services, sort of. Does it have a currently acceptable water treatment system? And how did they get planning permission to put an entrance on that bend? Still, it does have a couple of acres of land and is handy enough for Ennis.
Anybody buying that house will be doing a complete refurbishment. When that house was build there was probably no regulation's regarding site lines on exits. It's there long enough that if it was an issue it would be highlighted
Ya if you are going to bid on it you need to check planning, drawing etc.
On the water treatment when planning was granted originally it was on the basis of a four bed house. Therefore any new stipulation regarding that are limited. Anyway it's a 2.5 acre site.
Biggest issue could be buying a lawnmower big enough to cut the lawns
This is a mental design for a home. Bigger isn't always better.
You'd need sunscreen and shades in the living room!
I like it in theory. In fact that sunroom would be a bit of a liability in the summer - I have some small, south facing skylights in one room and in the end I had to give in and put some muslin 'blinds' over them as they would blind you as the sun moved round.
I'm intrigued by the lampshades in pics 34/35 - they were all the rage from Kilkenny Design in the 70s but I thought they were long gone!
Beside the new road too which would have a bit of noise pollution.
Interesting design but ultimately I hate it. The garage is far enough away from the house that on a cold, wet or windy day it will be a pain in the hole getting to and from it. I'm from Sligo so it probably has similar weather which means it will happen often enough. They should have had the garage attached to the house.
Also, you spend all that money on a new built with tonnes of room to build on and yet you still have a load of rooms upstairs where the ceiling is angled (is there a name for that). I hate rooms where the ceiling is angled like that. It's not as bad in this house as some I have been in but I always end up banging my head off them. Why not just increase the height of the house or change the angle of the roof so that you don't have to deal with that shíte.
Also, I don't like how the stove is so far out from the wall.
I really like it but all the wood needs so much maintenance.
Pricey but great location
I can't believe they're looking for that price considering the reputation the houses in that row have. Years of issues with cracking. Mica etc was ruled out so it's nearly worse, because they're not part of any redress scheme.

A bit pricey??? I was expecting 700-850k not guts of 1.3m.
I didn't think skerries was that sought after tbh.
It's been years since I was there but always thought anything past malahide was more on the rural side of things.
I know technically it's a detached house but it's doesn't have the land you'd expect around a detached house it's very terraced in appearance.
That fireplace alone would knock 50 grand off the price for me.
Not to mention all of your furniture getting sun bleached and artwork getting destroyed by UV rays.
I had a couch in a sun room for a couple of years and you wouldn't believe the change in colour between the part that was always in direct sunlight versus the shaded side.
Wow, didn't know that!
You wouldn't want to hold onto your car for many years either As the sea air would rust your car quicker. But I suppose if you have over a million for a house surely you have a few quid more to change your car every couple of years.
