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.
Any time I see these insanely overpriced gaffs with the worst interior decoration I've ever seen, I'm just reminded of how many rich people truly have no sense of taste, style or even basic colour coordination.
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.
Often passed that house, no idea it was hiding such a fab interior! Pretty sure it won't go for that much though.
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.
Use Streetview to see how that house in Enniskillen looked before. It sold about ten years ago, and that's when renovations took place.
To be fair, they held onto the original windows, but that may have been a requirement rather than a matter of good taste. Colours are all wrong, and have devalued the house as I see it. The paintings indicate literary pretensions, and I would pay extra to have them taken away.
Yeah. I like it.
I think that place cleared out would be magnificent! It is beautifully proportioned, has fabulous features - windows, cornicing, beautiful landing areas, and I adore that hall floor tiling.
I agree that its current state is very pretentious (each to their own though) and doesn't do the actual house any favours whatsoever.
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?
Fab Interiors.
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.
I agree, there's something to be said.
and don't call me Shirley
Pretty unusual to see a coach located next to the jacks!
€260,000 for what can only be described as grim….
Harbour View House, Harbour Street, Tullamore, Co. Offaly, R35EP90 is for sale on Daft.ie
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.
It's great the way they included a more original version of the first photo.
How many layers of damp wallpaper are there, and how much mould is the timber on the ceiling hiding?
There are reminders of what it used to be like, with the shutters and angled reveals.
The house to the right looks better, having been left alone. I like the split door that's made to look like a double door.
That'll be bought cheap, renovated for as little as possible and put out on the market again with overpriced rents attached.
The first thing that struck me was the name of the house (and street). I thought harbours had to be near the coastline, you would want good eyesight to see the coast from there.. presume there's a canal / canal harbour (if that's a thing) nearby?
Want your house to have that damp and mould look but not have the all health implications that go with it? For just €570k…

Everyone has their own taste of course, I’m just curious what you find fab in terms of the interiors? I think decoration and furniture really seats perception. And this is a good example of that.
High ceiling are obvious great. As are original sash windows, but I comment was about an fab hidden interior. I'd consider sash windows on the street to be an external feature, and not hidden. But as you mentioned it, many of the windows appear to modern PVC, which is a shame. Ad says it's original stained glass, but I'd be sceptical, it looks more like a painted design and/or a film.
There's a reference to original floorboards throughout. Flooring on ground floor is not original and appear to all different. That's going to stand out when house is cleared. In upper levels there are original pine boards - that's a cheap "builders" type floor hence the floor covering everywhere (not part of the sale I'd presume).
Ground floor steps are concrete painted out. Painted over stairs could be conceal an amazing original, or hiding the issues. Tartan runner will hopefully go 😋. Wall panelling is good, but missing and/or painted over in places. The green paint job is bad, esp at the fireplace. The kitchen wallpaper is bad (looks like a sitcom). Kitchen counter looks damaged, but ok otherwise.
As mentioned above, it has great bones, and it could be a "fabulous" house. Bags of potential, but otherwise very plain finishes. Honestly think that once it's cleared out you'll be looking at lots of quirks, missing moulding, bad paint job and floors. It's not like it needs a major reno, but for 650k I'd expect zero work required.
Would not be mad on that that paint effect or wallpaper on the walls but the rest of the house ( Dermot Bannon style kitchen with all the glass, XL walk in wardrobe, cinema room, bathroom etc) is a pleasant surprise, plus its a large house. Although still a semi-d.
Canal harbour. It's close to the Grand Canal. Mullingar has a Harbour Street as well.
Know it well, used to work on Grand Canal Harbour. But I had always assumed the harbour part was due to the proximity to the sea.
Didn't know that inland canals use the term harbour as well.
This is a really lovely Grade II listed home in UK. What is most unusual about it though is it's "Unique access to extensive subterranean tunnels and caves" !!
It also has the only access to a labyrinth of subterranean tunnels and caves that descend more than 50 feet below Eastry village.

The weirdest thing of all for me, in the blue house for me is the pocketless billiard table. Must be just for show as it was the right colour.
Billiards is fun!
is the e-type included too?
Beautiful house and the tunnels and caves remind me of The Famous Five.
