The exterior is hideous, and honestly looks like one of those mansions the builders abandoned before it was completed due to running out of funds. The interior is a strange combination of bland and uninspired with the occasional random bit of weirdness for the sake of being weird (like whatever is going on with the ceiling in that last ridiculously oversized bedroom).
Ohh that's ugly
That's lovely too but I think they both different styles that would appeal to different buyers. Plus that one has a big lump of a modern extention built on. It is really nice tho.
The yacht (J/24?) has not gone anywhere for a fe years, with the hull covered in mold.
Hard to describe this one - the interior looks decent but looks like the Architect got carried away with the design. A Celtic Tiger Muck Mansion if ever there was one. Must be a nightmare trying to keep all those windows clean….

At least you have an uninterrupted view of the sea. And all your big windows are on that side of the house looking out. It's the location too being that close to Galway but in a small village that brings the price up.
if you were to spend that much money on a house, you'd want one which isn't so totally overlooked by another one?
That was here before alright.
Apologies if posted already. It's nice and modern but not very homely or warm. I wonder was it ever lived in, or just a show house? I doubt that hothub would get much use.

A neighbor of my parent's house, is the same as it was in the 1930s. The owner is in her 90s, inherited it from parents, never married and has no siblings. It is well kept, regularly painted and was rewired. But it is like stepping back in time. External windows and doors painted green, she has a canvas cover to keep the front door from fading in the summer sun. She even has an original green painted 'cake cooler' outside the back door. Kitchen exactly as it was build, with the addition of a modern electric kettle.
It reminded me of Fiddler on the Roof -
"There would be one long staircase just going up,
And one even longer coming down?

PIVOT! PIVOT! PIVOT!
The house with The Staircase - I immediately had visions of a couple of deliverymen taking a kingsize mattress up one side, then trying to manoevre round that titchy corner in the middle and the first guy going backwards down the other side of the stairs. Its an abomination.
This has so much potential. It actually seems like good value. The location is excellent. A few miles from Naas, you have Kill down the road for quick groceries and you're out in some lovely countryside.
Whilst the garden is in a bit of a state, someone loved and looked after the interior of that house. I'd say a family was raised in that house and now it's an executor sale. Always a little bit sad when these time capsules come onto the market.
A quarter of a million for 33 sqm. Things really are fecked.
It looks like someone was waxing their full back, sack and crack in the living room.
But it's the completeness of the datedness - not a single thing modern (except maybe the telly, and even that's about 10 years old by the looks of it which is ancient these days!)
I'd love to know how you're meant to use the wardrobes in this bedroom…..
I had to go into a neighbour's house years ago when she was in hospital and the alarm was going off - honestly it was the most complete 1950s/60s display I've ever seen - everything immaculate, and everything absolutely ancient. I was nearly going to contact the Museum of Country Life to go and have a look!
Sadly she died a few years ago, the house was bought and gutted and a very nice job done on it - but I often think fondly back to how it was.
over the course of buying two houses, i saw quite a few places more dated than that!
Goodness me, that's a bit of a museum piece! The sink with splashback in the bedroom - we had the same but in yellow in our house.
It's odd how they never modernised it over the years. My parents house has gone through a few changes in 25 years. They moved(well we as I was living we them back then) 25 years ago to the house they are in now.
The interior of this house takes me back to 1980's Ireland with the dreaded theme tune of Glenroe on a Sun night signalling the end of the weekend. The red carpet in the bedroom gives off "The Shining" vibes…
Conaill, Clara Road, Tullamore, Co. Offaly, R35WV12 is for sale on Daft.ie
Maybe that's why the business went so badly wrong. No?
The house in Kilkenny, the office has two of the cheapest and most uncomfortable chairs to sit on.
Way too much pine,would have to be removed or painted.
I've never seen a stingray fur mat before.
I said to meself that has to have "architecturally designed" in the blurb and there it is.. Because everything else is designed by an octopus with frequent seizures??
