The pictures above are from Moyross. Southill and St Mary's Park (Kings Island). Much has been written about the problems in these areas along with Ballinacurra Weston, and the reasons why regeneration involving clearance in some cases was chosen as the solution. The few houses that remain in the areas where houses were planned for demolition are the result of recognising the occupants right to remain. Overall it's a sad and very unfortunate story, and one which has many lessons that we can learn from if we choose to do so.
Yep. Fields but with plumming, water, wired for electricity, broadband, TV etc
Look at the O'Malley Park area of Limerick. 1 mile from town
Are they that much of a **** hole that nobody wants to live there and as such there are nothing but fields left rather than houses that are in high demand throughout the country due to lack of them.
Jaysus thats one grim neighbourhood.
I was feeling great with the sunshine out today until I saw that on streetview. Seriously depressing.
Back in 2010
Then 2019
Faulkners Terrace, not to my taste but if you like the style its very well done.
Have a look around St. Mary's Park or Moyross in Limerick and see what can be done about knocking terraced houses!

Looks like its a problem alright
'Cash only' because the usual mortgage lender won't give a typical loan out on a flood risk house.
'Typical' as in a 80%-90% loan. You might get a 20% one. First thing I'd be looking at is if it is possible to get insurance against flooding there. If they don't, then you're in a lot of trouble, and it's why the mortgage lenders don't want to back you up.
Seems to have been listed on and off since 2022. started at 520,000 euro
not to my taste, but just shows the imagination of some people, amazing! Great garden too, for a city house. Wonder why cash only...
This thread goes round and round in circles! I remember that house being on here before - it must be proving difficult to sell (I wonder why??!!)
The front door opening onto the narrow pavement of an incredibly busy traffic route in and out of town would be a huge turnoff for me - the dirt and noise would be horrendous.
ETA showing as sold in 2020 for €381,500
Decor not to my taste but that is easily changed. A lot bigger than I was expecting and the garden is also very nice.
Odd to request cash buyers only.
Love the layout, great use of space. Easy enough to tone down the interior, after you pay for it of course. Good work in the garden, screening it off from the flats behind. Bit of a gamble overall given the the Camac flood alleviation scheme is only kicking off: https://camacfas.ie/
Great find alright.
Rooms aren't that big, good camera angles help, as does the wide doorway for the first bedroom. Love the garden. Not a fan of all the marble and the nick nacks. A hoor to start dusting that on a Sunday morning after a feed of beer on a Saturday night.
And yes, it has been flooded before, or it sounds like it has.
P.7 of this

crikey that was not what I was expecting!!!
The owner is an interior designer, it would be lovely stripped back.
Great sized rooms, storage and a lovely garden, but cash only buyers sets off alarm bells.
Think the owners may have been a fan of Ancient Rome.
Cash buyers only, guess as its a flood risk.
Hmmmm, I was kind of mixing it up in my head with that other tiny Cork house, which is definitely an infill.
The Sligo one actually probably isn't now that I look at the picture properly.
The inside is going to have to be gutted anyhow, though, there can't be so much as a batten left worth salvaging there!
You can't really just knock a terraced house, can you? I think the solicitor's office next door might object 😄
Jaysus, would they not just have knocked it and sold the site? What a nightmare!
1 bedroom???? This country is dead and buried. I wouldn't keep my dog in there.
Much better value to be had in Glin

Maybe hang a bucket off a rope from the bedroom balcony?
I think it’s quite cute though as much as like guests for dinner, b&b on occasion, I love tv. Didn’t spot one. Maybe inset in the wardrobe as it’d surely be a bit close to the sofa bed otherwise.
I wouldn't fancy going down those stairs in the middle of the night to go to the toilet while you are half asleep.
Easy peasy. Then after the dinner party, your guests can relax in the loungeroom and critique your fashion sense.....
That's a right mess.
The 4 chairs around the dining table is both optimistic and unnecessary in a place that size.
We had this back in 2022 I think, when it sold for €160,000 (€185k asking), but "Ireland's smallest house" is back on the market at €170,000 - cash buyers only:
Per the ad it needs a new roof - who on earth is going to pay €150k to take on a liability like that.
I feel asking for 150k for this terraced house in the heart of Sligo town is still reaching. It requures an awful lot of work. This one may have come up before though a long time ago, it is somewhat familiar to me
