Some sort of super cat lair. A cross between Thunderbirds and ThunderCats 😂
My first thought
That's a cat, no?.
The house has wings, looks as though it is about to take off!
The front of this house is a bit pointy for me.
It would be great for the weekly special buys also.
Just look out the window and you'll know if you need to queue up.
A quick search will show you that they applied for planning to put in a new entrance (presume for a new build at the site to the rear) earlier this year and it was refused.
And the 'Mystery Area' at the back of the garden, seemingly only accessed by the house's driveway, yet not included in the sale ...
🤣🤣
You wouldn’t be saying that when you run out of milk and bread of an evening 😁 over the wall… sorted 👌🏻
I don't see that, easily sorted anyway.
The large Lidl and its car park next door is a bigger issue.
Nice nicotine patina on the kitchen/dining walls and ceilings.
Tender loving care not for this one. Ugh!
Did someone say 1970’s?
Quite similar to this house I think, just love the feel of the place from the pictures.
That is a house that was loved and minded.
It's really nice to look through the photos. Nostalgia.
I kinda love the carpet in pic 7. Would I have it in my house ..no....but if you went full Mike Myers 70's mode it would be fab!
A great well loved house!
It really is a time capsule. Floral pattern carpets, slightly jarring pastel shades on the walls, tiffany lamp, glass curio cabinet in the sitting room filled with holiday dolls and other tat, armchairs with tussles, swish curtain rails, glass panel internal doors, parquay floor in the entrance hall, candle wick bedspreads, etc etc. all destined for a large skip.
Something heartwarming about seeing the updated “accessible” bathroom in a house like this, indicating that the proud owner was able to remain in situ for the longest possible time
Thoroughly dislike the odd two storey extension at the rear.
BER is surprisingly good
Sideboard is possibly genuine G Plan or a good imitation. If you’re interested keep an eye on auction sites and junk/furniture shops. With a bit of patience you should get an excellent condition one for €750-€1,000.
This is like a time capsule of 70’s style! Some fab retro pieces of furniture. I love the side board in pic 7. It’s an amazingly well kept house. It was obviously well loved and looked after
Same thoughts re the location. The absence of any internal photographs is an ominous sign and points towards either gutting or total demolition. Either way it’s a lot of money for a site, or little more than a site. You could easily shell out another €250k on this.
Anyone interested in the garden would have to worry about the soil. Comparing the current photos with older street view shots it looks like there were gallons of roundup used.
I was expecting sea views when I seen the price. Even more so after reading your post.
It's in a housing estate only close to the sea. Insane price. Wouldn't pay half of that price.
That has to be the most honest property advert I have ever seen. Doesn't look that bad..
This is probably the best place that's ever been posted here. It's gorgeous, incredible location, and the home of one of the geniuses of the last century.
As the man himself once wrote in a song "Who Wants To Live In New York?"
it's gone down in price by €50,000 already! might hit the 300 mark by the weekend yet.
Three chimneys, that place must have been an ice box to live in!
Half a million for a site in one of the most congested cities in Europe. (I’ve just made that stat up).
Madness.
They won’t improve roads or public transport but want to keep building car dependent housing. You can keep it.
I don't think you're getting much of a renovation for 100k these days. If you were looking at any kind of extension then I'd say you could double that and still fall short.
I would absolutely love a house by the sea but for me, there's no way I would pay a premium like that without sea views.
Maybe people have gone mad post covid, it's suitably named if so, "Corona".
Location, location, location.
Also, its a huge plot, and they've already cleared the gardens. (check streetview)
Location though. Its one of the more bizarre post covid things. People paying silly money for holiday homes in Ireland. So even houses in estates near the sea are mental now.
400k + 100k minimum for refurb.
For half a million quid you could go on a huge 5* holiday every year for the rest of your life anywhere in the world. But people are blowing it on bungalows and caravans in Ireland.
€400,000 for a G rated bungalow shell that needs to be gutted.
The first line of the description even read in caps locks to get your attention - "DETACHED BUNGALOW PROPERTY IN NEED OF TOTAL REFURBISHMENT AND UPGRADE. "
It is a Bagatelle table, rather than Billiards. My sister used to have one - great fun after a few drinks every Christmas!
