Aha, I see my mistake, the house is narrower than I thought, it's next door's wall I was looking at!
They may be accurate - it still doesnt make it a good layout though.
I think the floor plans are fairly accurate. Open front door (into a bit of a void/couldn't call it a hallway) and WC is to your right.
Is that not the hallway/ inside the front door? Those floor plans are the worst I've seen in a while, had to tictac between them and the photos a lot before I could get my head around the place.
While the hallway doesn't seem to be physically walled off from the kitchen/ dining area, it is kind of a separate room (in my head anyway).
And if that's not the hallway, where the hell is it?? The exterior picture shows a wall to the right of the front door that I can't account for in the pictures/ layout...
Not sure about the regs but you definitely need a buffer zone. Who wants to hear a toilet flush or a smell wafting out while you’re enjoying a movie and munching popcorn?
It also has a water tap in the front garden, which I believe is 'not allowed'.
Does it have 25 meters of open private space, aka a back garden?
I didn't think you were allowed to have direct access to a WC from living areas under planning laws?
I've only a vague recollection but I'm fairly sure that when we were doing an extension many years ago, we (had to) put a utility space between kitchen and WC.
Looks like a bunker
That is so unappealing to me. Like a warehouse or something, cold and industrial looking. Even when I win the euromillions, I won't buy it. 😁
Why oh why the different floor levels in the kitchen / living area?
I dislike open plan with a vengance anyway, but I'm certainly not going to buy one with a trip hazard and that is disabled or mobility challenged unfriendly.
If those plans are to scale, the living area is smaller than the dining area, that makes no sense to me.
The dining room table also looks too big to me, though a minor detail, as decor can be changed. No wardrobes in the bedrooms, and no shed. Where do they keep the bins? Is there parking?
For a million, I'd expect a lot better. And certainly for the €1.3 million they first listed it for a year ago! Location ISN'T everything, in this case.
Definitely notions!

"What is this about?"
About 7k;
What a bland house. You could sit on the sofa and watch someone in bed in bedroom one!
I love the Enniscorthy house though, needs a new kitchen and some new paint colours but it's fab.
I think its mainly the horse and the peculiar man picture that I don't like. I don't think I would want to live there but otherwise its nice enough.
Is that the entrance to the fallout bunker of the Russian Embassy?
What is this about?
Did this feature on room to improve? Not a house Dermot built but to show the guinea pigs what could be achieved? It looks like the type of a house built by some architect of note 🥱
Kitchen/dining/sitting room look like a studio apartment.
The sunroom, looks like a corridor with a sofa flung in.
Notions as it's D6 !!
This has been on since last Sept I see and reduced by 75k
Looks fab in fairness.If only I was able to work from home ..
Surprised it hasn’t sold however ..maybe cold ..maybe Enniscorthy ain’t all that 🤔

€1m for exposed concrete blocks
The echo must be unreal whenever anyone walks around that house, it's like a giant version of holiday apartment buildings with all the marble.
I hope Jordan and Aaron were quiet young lads.
Who needs an architect. It would appear that the owner was a builder.
Oh the tackiness 😂😂😂😅
I'm guessing Jordaaron is the name of the house as opposed to the place-name?
Also guessing that Jordan and Aaron have flown the coop at this stage.
Not to mention the cost of heating.
Marble is a "cold" stone isn't it? Could you put underground heating under them? Marble great in Malibu, Ireland not so much.
The marble stairs also freak me out, I'm not overly clumsy but I'd fear having a slip.
17 bedrooms and no garage. FFS.
It is missing the boom era bar in the corner of one of the rooms with a custom mirror behind it with the local GAA crest and Celtic crest on it.
There has been a few of these ‘as big as possible’ monstrosities coming to the market in the last year. Kids have grown up and left, prices have recovered enough to make it worth while offering and no need to keep fighting the banks.
Agreed, makes my eyes hurt. Everything is wrong with it. I didn't think the made tiles that ugly.
do I see four provinces on the tiles? Barmy!
think this is the worst house ever posted!
How would you have any peace of mind though, living in a house in those precarious circumstances?
Who’d give out mortgages when it’s that bloody hard to get the property back when people stop paying!
So he lived rent free for 17 years - throwing out a vague guess that would have been worth some 400k.
