Had a look on GeoHive. There was a terrace of houses all along that road with a field behind them.
Speculating now but Sligo Corporation/county council at one point must have decided to knock the entire terrace to access the land behind and build better quality houses for all. This house must have been a hold out for whatever reason.
The other houses could have been much smaller or in poor condition.
I like this one. It's in Muff Co. Donegal with frontage onto lough Foyle ( you could go diving);
The apartment featured in this thread over in Accommodation and Property. 😬😬
Overall it is just too much but there are some nice art deco elements that would work better somewhere less fussy.
I'd need built in sunglasses or contacts similar, wow that is bright and odd. Can't see me paying that price either, because I'm thinking of property management BS too.
Superb!
Muff diving
I knew someone was going to say that.
Sorry couldnt resist
I'm in awe of the curved front door. Love this house.
Love the ladder balanced precariously over the kitchen table. Doesn't look like there's stairs in the house so I guess you use the ladder to get up to your bedroom?

I could be wrong but I think that is just the attic/storage space. All rooms are in the same level according to the description and I don't think there is room for much in the eaves.
"Property Features
- Double glazed windows"
Surprised the polycarbonate roof panels are not also listed as a feature......bring on winter.
Maybe that's part of the "quirky" interior!!!!
Thumbs up on the use of the attic to create a mezzanine with storage but what were they thinking with that ladder placement? It's hideous.
You could just as easily have had a ladder coming out of a hatch in the front bedroom and made a real feature out of the mezzanine.
Ah yes, you're right, I see the 2 bedroom doors off the dining room now.
No picture of the bathroom. Could you even fit a bed in the bedroom?
The whole interior needs to be reconfigured (to put it mildly) for modern living.
As for the plastic roof, don’t fall out with your neighbours, they could literally put a rock through your roof!
It's only 35 sqm, it really should be a one bed.
I wonder would the kitchen wall support the weight of a proper roof?
The size of the rooms is mind boggling. Bedrooms 9ft x 6ft in old money, barely big enough to get a single bed in. The sitting room looks wider than 2m (ok 2.03m) though, even allowing for magic lenses on the camera, a rough calculation based on the depth of the kitchen cabinet being 60cm makes the room 2.5m, which is still not much but for once the ea seems to be conservative with the numbers. (Or the floorboards appear to be 120mm wide and there are about 24 or 25 of them, which still comes in wider than 2.03. I've not much to be doing...
Reminds me of the Top Gear challenge where Hammond built a house out of polycarbonate panels. Skip to the 6min mark
I didn't need to skip you set it up so it starts at 6mins.
Another house in Enniscorthy with a religious theme;
The layout of this place kind of confuses me, it has a chipboard bar at least the car won't get wet.
My first thoughts are Covid-era shebeen..
Goodness, Thunderbirds are go, chrome and leather? Check. Stilts? Check. Feature steel stairs? Check. American style verandah? Check. Possible secret launchpad for rocket under stilts? Check.
There's so much not to like, too many levels, twisty stairs, confusing layout, loads of pine, couches!! No way all that chipboard passes fire regs??
I like a lot of it but some details are very odd, like the cliff edge drop in the family room. Also what's the camera work about - bottom right of pics 18 and 26?
Has the look of one alright.
You'd need a fairly substantial pair of knickers going up or coming down either of the two open tread stairs in a skirt or dress. 😱
I don't like it at all.
Or you could move in with someone who wears a Snickers pants.
Snickers drop knickers
Not sure about the colour but the rest ticks all the boxes for me!
