Be handy for when herself moans at me for being pissed and snoring my head off!!!
Looks like a Bedford Rascal?
I know a very reputable wine dealer in France who would sell bottles of wine filled with dyed water (and good labels on them if needed) so that people could stock their cellars with fake bottles to show off to visitors. This was around 2000, I assume it still goes on.
They do the same for the bottles of whiskeys and spirits you see in pubs. Obviously not all of them but a lot of the old looking bottles would be just filled with dyed water. Was chatting to a barman about it one night.
100%. I'd say you'd even get the furniture in the house for that price.
I wonder why there's no photos inside any of the other outbuildings. They look in pretty good nick.
I thought it looked familiar .
I don't know how much they spent on it, but The Money Pit with Tom Hanks springs to mind.
Well, hydraulic lime, my new thing for the day learned. I like the house all the more for the history
It was €850k in April, now down to €675.
Odd shaped house in Laois sold.
Unique Laois mansion built for €1.2 million sells for fraction of price after 25 bids (msn.com)
I think even the final price was too high.
€461,000 seems high alright but if you are **** money it's not a lot.
I'd love to know if it is going to be a home or used for something else.
There's something slightly depressing looking about that house, to me.
I think it's because it is unfinished and dilapidated looking. It could be impressive
looking if all the wood was treated in a nice colour and the grounds landscaped.
Imagine growing up there a child with all that done.
It's set on 11 acres. Site value alone would be around 200. It might take you 300k+ to sort it out but it's a million+ house when it is finished
2.95m in Foxrock. The two croquet lawns is just showing off.
If I were a good deal younger - and probably with more entrepreneurial skills than I have/had - and had loads of money I would love to make that into a centre point for retreats/glamping/all kinds of stuff like that. I would be very happy to live in it provided it had a purpose.
Lovely house. The estate agent may call them what he wants but
they look like ordinary lawns to me. Well cared for but not manicured like
the surface of a snooker table.
And you can bet everyone in the vicinity of the house is a complete
and utter arsehole. Hahahahahaha! Very stereotypical I know :-)
You can play non-tournament or garden croquet on any big enough, decent lawn - level without too many weeds and cut reasonably short, it doesn't have to be putting green standard.
The Mews, Fairfield Court, Sandymount, Dublin 4 is for sale on Daft.ie
"2 Large bedrooms"? Based purely on assumption so I could be totyally wrong!!
If those are 8x4 ft sheets on the floor then one of the bedrooms is approximately 12 ft x 9 ft? Because of the position of the rad presumably you wouldn't like it behind the headboard the only place for a bed is facing towards the low window. A 5 ft 6" wide bed and a door opening in (say 2 ft 6") means 3 ft space and the bed needs to be out from the rad wall enough to walk around to that side. Then length wise if the bed is 6 ft 6 long, you've 2 ft 6 at the end of the bed and a sloped ceiling. Bathroom if that bath if 1700 long then its almost the full width of the bathroom, shower tray at 600 leaves less than 4 ft and you have a toilet unit opposite the sink and shower tray. *I am probably totally wrong!
Is that built down the sideway of someone's house??????
Yes. And the price they are asking for it you'd think it was a normal house not one shoe horned down the side of someone house.
Location, location, location. Mental. You'd love if a heap of nomadic folk bought it.
I wonder how much Dulux and Tile Style paid her for the plugs
Big house but what were they thinking with the interior? little rooms and just looks depressing. huge bed in tiny bedroom, all the pipes exposed in the kitchen. 🤦♂️
The pipes in the kitchen they could have built a press to cover them. If I owned it it would annoy me every time I went into the kitchen.
The camera angle makes that bed look so weird!
typical of the McMansions built around that part of the country, but show off houses with little to no thought as to how the inside should work/look. Probably built for around 100K too
Interesting one in Co. Galway. Anyone for a game of snooker?
" Probably built for around 100K too"
Unlikely I'd say, didn't you read the bumph? There's coving in the living area!
It looks kinda unfinished inside.
Also, there's nothing wrong with there being stuff in the house but the jacket or whatever it is on the back of the chair in the kitchen - there must surely have been somewhere it could be put away for the photos 😁!
That house in Leitrim ticks every Celtic Tiger McMansion box that there is.
Garden just a wide lawn - Check
House entirely surrounded by tar - Check
Spare building to be a 'games room' - Check
Huge 'Dynasty' style stairs - Check
Fake marble tiles with corner bath that's never used - Check
Poorly laid out bedrooms - Check
Two sitting rooms, just for the sake of it, none of which are a decent size - Check
Loads of windows out front to give the impression it's bigger than it is - Check
Built where it can be seen, not where it's practical - Check
Loads of unfinished stuff like broken gates, meaning the cash ran out somewhere - Check
Crap BER for its time to make it insanely expensive to run every year, meaning there's even less money to finish it off - Check
I've a few mates who bought into the dream of the big house. Worked well for 4/5 years, then the crash and years later they still only use half the rooms in the house to save on heating. Millstone around the neck sort of thing.
Completely pretentious OTT feel to the interior, and that's before I scrolled down as far as the stripy nightmare. I'll pass.
