Who'd live in a house like this? Part 2

Maybe that house should be a finalist in any boards.ie "Who'd live in a house like this?" competition lol. (like the way they choose finalists on Home of the Year on RTE).

Some of those rooms were just so blue I never saw the like before.

It was the entrance that I most disliked about the modern house. The outside is very harsh in the landscape but at least it is not one of those mini-mansions with pillars and dormers and loads of twiddly bits. The interior would have to be softened a lot for me, though the views are framed spectacularly. I don't like those 'corner' windows, even (especially) on the original art-deco houses, to me they make the room feel insecure and structurally weak. That step in the hall is unforgivable though, its on a flat site, there is no need for it.

The finish on those corner windows in the kitchen don't look great to me. I'm no builder, but if you look closely, you can see by the increasing width of the window frame that the levels are uneven. And you can also see the sealant used when putting in the countertops. It looks sloppy to me.

(I do like the countertops, though).

that cleggan house stinks of a developer/builder, with a thriving business in office refits/refurbs. Get a commercial architect to cut and paste a design from an office block, materials appear from other sites and the thing gets built by the lads when they have some down time on another site. I know someone who lives in Cleggan, must ask him about it.

Agree, that price…..

How much of this site will be left in 20 years

Agree. it's a bit corporate. There's a right ankle breaker step in the front hallway.

That blue house is an absolute head melt, couldn't make it to the end of the photo's.

Nothing beige about that house! I'd have to completely redecorate, but it looks in good condition. I wonder if the owner is an artist?

Garden is great, though very overlooked. No photo of the mentioned parking.

You really think that's fab?

It's plain block colours in a fairly dated colour schemes. It's very plain imo.
The artwork, style, collectibles are eclectic and interesting. But they are not part of the sale. I think photos of that place cleared out wouldn't get a second glance.

Yeah. I like it.

Shirley there's something to be said for the stairs, mosaic tiles, coloured glass, original architrave and original cast iron rads, no?

Cornice? 3 seven-foot tall sash windows? No? Would sir prefer a wrap-around, "aluclad" item? Perhaps we could lower the ceiling to eight feet and install some LED cans into it?

The Enniskillen house has great bones, as HeidiHeidi says, stripped out it would be a fine house, it has some lovely features. Is the owner an artist? No.

Grim is right. Its hard to imagine it being anything much even when renovated. There are two properties, its a big site and zones commercial or residential, but it needs a lot of money spent on it.
