You know what though, I kinda like my life the way it is, all that responsibility of organising staff and keeping up with maintenance, and you don't really get to just sit and veg by the fire.
You'd have staff to organise the other staff. 😁
The biggest issue for me is that I wouldn't fit in with my new salubrious neighbours, it would be a very isolated life, albeit in nice surroundings.
It's one for the super rich, even if any of us won the Euromillions it would be wiped out fairly quickly with the purchase price, stamp duty, council tax, heating and electricity costs, maintenance and staff costs, even if one was to send the staff to M & S instead of Fortnum & Mason.
Meant to say, this would give me nightmares.
If I won the euromillions I’d buy that £35m house just to piss off the wanker neighbours who’d have to suffer having a Paddy living next door 😊
Tricolour flying, sitting on the windowsill with a bag of cans and effing and blinding at everyone. 😂
even if one was to send the staff to M & S instead of Fortnum & Mason.
Goodness me <clutches pearls> the very thought! 🤣
I know, horrifying. One might just die of shame. 😲😁
Have we met before? 😊
Probably in that lane / road (half the length of O'Connell st ) the Gardai are closing off beside O'Connell st., as it is a no go area for them due to drug-taking and anti-social behaviour.

If you had an apartment or house there who'd live in it?
110 years ago O'Connell st was one of the best places in Europe, one of the widest main streets if not the widest in Europe and well kept. Now look at it, who'd live there or near there?
I doubt the Chinese or Russians would be too put out tbh.
Your money goes a lot further in Wexford 😁
I'd love a big house like that with loads of outbuildings and a walled garden. The only issue would be if you could smell the abattoir that's just down the road. Clohamon can get fairly fragrant some days.
At the other end of the scale and a few miles away you have this
Nice size, decent price and in a town center location. In a few years I'd be very interested in this as a retirement option. Needs an ensuite upstairs and is more of a three bed than a four bed but I like it. Bunclody scores poorly in national deprivation indices but I like it as a town.
Lot of carpet here....
It's a pity that second house is sandwiched between a pub and a Home Savers, street view shows the view from the upstairs rear windows to be of the car park at Home Savers.
Awful, it's like a nursing home.
At least not in the bathroom.
It's a grand house, yeah all the carpet would go!
I'd get rid of the golf course (pitching course) or whatever it is. I'd rewild that and have a nice lil meadow and maybe throw a few beehives in too (I know nothing about beehives)
I actually think the garden is where I'm twitchy the most.....way too manicured, guaranteed not a butterfly in sight during the summer.....so yeah I think a change in planting would have to happen.
The field of broken architectural dreams.
That first house looks like a setting for a Jane Austen novel. It's very pretty.
The second house is nice too, only its a shame its not in a more scenic location.
"Blank canvas" I love it. The estate agents must have had a great laugh coming up with that nonsense but then again that's why they charge the fees they do..
Do they charge extra for using paragraphs?
Haven't managed to make it to the end of that wall of text yet.....
Jaysis, I'd hate to have to clean all those windows. Hope there is a window cleaning business locally!
Take a look at a site called mansion global dot com. Its the same idea but pulls properties from all over the world. Some of the stuff on it is unreal, and some is surprisingly awful.
There's a second one behind that house too!
It looks like something a child would make with Lego.
I looked at the second pic and thought they had mistakenly copy and pasted the house into the field behind it.
Spotted the phrase “blank canvass” and thought the exact same….. EA speak for “half completed, needs the same amount again spent to finish it off”
It’s an amazing location. The decor is very dated, but the location is stunning and the exterior is interesting, you’d strip it and do a total refurb for a third of the purchase price and have something really special. More potential than 90% of what appears on here.
Those 'photos' all look so fake. Are they AI generated I wonder?
I thought exactly the same.
The sky/clouds definitely are not real in most of them.
The grass on pic 2 looks clone-stamped, and while the ariel shots show dried scrubby grass, the ground level ones show lush green. I'd agree they have been well photoshopped.
All real, remarkably.
I don’t think they have myself. It's a bit like a comb-over effect. The aerial shot really exposes things compared to the face on views.
You can see bits and pieces of browned grass in some of the ground level photos, and they look a hundred times worse from the aerial ones.
