Best attempt at a count:
Master bedroom (pics 17, 18, 21, 22, 26 & 27): 7x single, 1x double, 1x Sofa.
There are seven single beds. Three in a row visible in pics 17, 18 & 27. Most prominent in pic 18. Another four single beds and the double bed are in the "wraparound" section that runs behind the fireplace. Some are visible in all pics apart from 18, but most prominent in 21, 22 & 26. Sofa's visible in a few, I'm counting it cos there's no way no one's sleeping on it in that house.
Bedroom 2 (pics 14, 15 & 38): 4x single beds.
Bedroom 3 (pic 16): 2x single and 1x double.
Bedroom 4 (pic 25): 1x single bed.
Bedroom 5 (pics 28 & 29): 2x single bed.
Bedroom 6 (pic 30): 4x single bed.
Bedroom 7 (pic 31): 1x Single
Bedroom 8 (pics 35 & 36): 2x Double
Bedroom 9 (pic 37) : 3x Single
24 single beds, 4 doubles and a sofa. You may note I count 9 bedrooms where the brochure describes it as a 7 bed. I can only assume that rooms that are not listed as a bedroom (storage, living room maybe) are being used as such. Alternatively it's possible that the two 1 bed rooms I counted are actually part of a larger bedroom that are behind the cameraman in the other pics, but I don't think so looking at them.
The writer/journalist Brighid McLaughlin lived here. Worked with her once.
Street View shows the extent of the courtyard in the Dalkey cottage. You could fit a clothes horse and maybe sit on the step beside it that's shown in the ad.
Is this out the back of it? All the balcony's.
I know what estate agent I will never list a property with.
Like that funeral business that specialise in scango deluxe send offs, that estate agency seems to specialise in dumps.
The cheaper was is lovely, but BER E1 and nearly €700k. Obviously no garden after the extension too, just the small paved area to the side of the house. Does anyone know the area, is there parking?
I know it's Dalkey but that's just mad.
One of the selling points is that it is very convenient for Trinity College.
Looks like Biddy’s million euro one bed cottage in Dalkey has some competition a few doors up. 1 bed again but €300,000 lower in price.
Biddy’s
But imagine booking an Airbnb and finding you're one of 5 beds shoehorned into a room and you have to climb over 4 of them to get to your bed?
Sadly that looks like one of those places that preys on low paid workers who have no options other than to pile into rooms with as many others as will make it affordable.
Based on the location I would assume it’s being used as an Airbnb? If not good lord it’s depressing to think someone lives like that.
I had to stop clicking on the photos. It's depressing looking.
'can sleep 25 to 30 people'...I suppose the variation depends on how many you put in a double bed.
God that is grim….
Jaysus, they fairly packed 'em in there...... has anyone done an actual bed count?
I remember meeting the owner of that property nearly 30 years ago, who had converted the upper floors and was living in it with his young family - it was a fairly mega-renovation for the time - it sounded fabulous, and he described how the kids used to ride their bikes up and down the long hallway.
I presume he's long gone, and someone with an eye for the "pile 'em high, pack 'em in, rake in the cash" model of landlording is the current vendor.
That is just so depressing!
3 - 4 Fownes Street, Temple Bar, Dublin 2 - Ray Cooke Auctioneers Terenure - 4735160 - MyHome.ie Residential
Jesus **** christ.....looks like an office, then from photo 14 onwards - NO (and don't miss photo 40!)
That place is miserable. Has had absolute minimal upgrades since 1960s.
Massive use of fish eye lens to make bedrooms appear bigger.
Stove stuck in corner of kitchen beside oven with open vent at ground level for air requirements
Being sold as site really per description
Presume the current owner is going to build a new drive next to the existing one to access the yard? Another family member would have to buy the place, who else would?
Nice cosy little place if you don't mind sharing your back yard
with the farmer.................
Killeen, Dunsany, Co. Meath, C15NV60 is for sale on Daft.ie
It’s the size that attracted me initially, most other sites are half acre. And usually on top of another house. I presume the forestry will replanted with more forestry in the future. Wouldn’t mind trees as neighbours.
I'm not familiar with site prices or the difficulty getting planning in the area, but is 50k a real bargain?
I know it's a big site but to have the site surrounded by forestry and to have a mast practically on the site, I wouldn't have thought it's a great buy.
Again, not familiar with Kilkenny in general but from daft, there's quite a few sites in the 60-75k range that would seem way nicer sites.
It’s on the comreg map as a Vodafone mast. That’s as far as my knowledge goes though. I couldn’t pick a transmitter out of a line up 😂
If I had to live in the middle of a town I could quite like that house. My main concern though was how do you get at those hanging baskets?
It's an old (circa 1900) and fairly small house; what you see there is more or less all there is to it. Pretty standard layout; four rooms up (one being the bathroom) and four rooms down (the kitchen cum dining room occupying two of them, and then two small sitting rooms on the other side of the centre hall/stairs), all fairly close to the same size (with the bathroom being a bit smaller due to the upper flight and landing on the stairs).
Abbey Street isn't the main through road in town, but it's busy enough, and you've also got the girls' primary school in your back garden, so a bit of noise there. On the plus side, it is basically right in the middle of town and only 100m from the Aldi and the SuperValu, so quite convenient to everything.
StreetView to the rescue.
Seems to be a school entrance right next door, and its grounds run right to the back of the house
You do get a bonus religious statue mounted to the side of the house.
From your post I decided to look at that ad and everybody saying that it is a vodafone mast/arial is wrong. I'm not sure what the mast is for but it does not have mobile phone transmitters on the mast.
They were my thoughts on the place exactly. I went up there as I was passing and my God it was windy up there! 2KM further up the road, not a puff!
The house that they got planning for is pure 90’s bungalow. Finish the exterior with that coloured pebbledash, plastic fascia and chunky plastic windows and you’ll be transported back.
Even with the wind, if the site wasn’t so much lower than the road, I’d be tempted. Build the garage first so I could stick a caravan in it and they look to change the planning to drop a Huf Haus on the site. I can dream, I suppose.
The ESB structure just appears to be powering the mast, I wouldn't be that bothered about the mast, apart from visually. If a couple of rows of mixed deciduous trees and understorey were put round the site they would be well grown by the time the conifers came down, and they are not all that likely to be replanted with conifers. Its a decent price for a couple of acres.
Not a very appealing house but once planning is granted it should be easy enough to get something more interesting.
You would want rocks in your heard to buy that site.
it would look like Hiroshima circa 1946 when they pull those trees out
“That site with the mast, presume Vodafone pay rent?”
Streetview shows an ESB substation beside the mast.
Looking at the site on Land Direct, the substation and mast are on a patch of land that has its own folio, separate to the one for sale. So it’s possible the ESB own the land with the mast and substation.
Oh look at that! I hadn't seen it, it needs to come out some years ago. Trouble is its a cordyline and no matter how you cut them down they will grow again from the base, it would need to be cut and poisoned.
