Toilet in the bedroom. No thanks.
The owner is still putting back the clocks since October.
I am not a Kevin McCloud fan particularly, the Grand Designs have a same-iness due to his voice, but indulge me with this one, you only have to look at 2.25 to see what it started out as, then around 2.35 to see what it became. The usual stuff about extra time (4 years as against 1) and overspend, but I think the rebuilt old building is breathtaking, beautiful. The new concrete extension, especially the corridor, is too stark for me, though I think the bedrooms work, but I love the old building.
And no, of course they did not buy it for £800.
https://www.daft.ie/for-sale/townhouse-dublin-street-monasterevin-co-kildare/5982181 This shell was advertised at 99,000 when fist put on market . Had been lived in up to about 20 years ago and then let go to ruin literally. Terrible location, no parking and no real access to back of the house . I imagine planning will be a nightmare. Even at 99,000 it seemed expensive.
8 bedrooms, 17 bathrooms.
A spare for that extra lardy arse.
Surely John Joe the horologist from the late late toy show lives there?
And nothing in the bathroom. 😂
Wow, must be what living in a second hand shop would be like!
Holy cheese balls! Does Dr. Emmett Brown live there??
Oh dear lord!

That house is across the road (literally) from Tullamore harbour, Waterways Ireland are vacating it and theres a very large scale plan to renovate the site.
That house will be bought, subdivided, renovated cheap and ready to rent out to anyone working on the redevelopment site for several years.
The current iteration is…not easy on the eyes, but the previous version wasn't anything special anyway, really, even aside from the godawful staging furniture. Sure, the sitting room ceiling is very nice, but the rest of the place was already pretty blah, full of uPVC windows and can lights and all with no other interesting original interior features to speak of.
I have problems finding the motivation to hoover the small amount of carpet I have indoors at the best of times, bugger having to hoover the garden too!
The Rathfarnham house? Yeah, nasty
The garden is one long sheet of plastic :(
18m and you still have neighbours close enough to look in your bedroom windows
i've heard refuse collection can be very lucrative
Backs onto the Glenside pubs beer garden and a car dealership too.
Am i missing something? is a 2000 sq foot semi d in rathfarnham with a cheap refurb and a big garden a 1.5m house now?

Well, at least the Staten Island yoke has holes in the billard table!
The living room looks much smaller in the refurb video - but funny, the ceiling is the one thing I liked about it! I grew up in a big Victorian house with a dark-painted ceiling in the huge sitting room, so I've a soft spot for that kind of feature - not to everyone's taste, obviously, but I love it if you've got the height and light for it.
I can't say I was mad about the look of the house in the earlier video - I'm assuming it was staged for sale, but I thought it was horrible! I didn't last watching the video past the ground floor.
Fabulous house, though - what a shame to see it carved up.
It's €260k based on the zoning. The buyer will come equipped with a bulldozer

That made my eyes hurt…

How to ruin a perfect good period property
2021 -
1 The Old Vicarage, Swords, Co. Dublin
Got a write up in the Times too -
Snug Swords vicarage with statement livingroom for €400k – The Irish Times
Sold, "refurbished", and look at this… 2023…
1 The Old Vicarage, Church Road, Swords, County Dublin - Morton & Flanagan Ltd. (Swords) - Morton & Flanagan, Swords, Dublin, Ireland Residential
The tacky, tasteless, unmatched decor, the screaming wallpaper, the horrific repainting of the beautiful ceilings….
Looks like a particularly neglected ex rental. They won't get 260k for that. The "do not use" on the bathroom fixtures is particularly ominous.
Might be good for anybody with cash to spend looking for something to completely renovate and upgrade, but its not going to fetch any more than 200k in that condition, if even that.
I agree, I was shocked when I got to the end of the pics and realised how close the neighbours are. The garden shots made it seem a lot bigger!
The scale is terrible, with the ceilings being far too low, resulting in the house having a hotel type vibe instead of the grand house vibe that would surely be the intention.
The plot of land is very small for a house of that size plus the next door neighbours houses are just beyond the property perimeter. For a house of this size and price, I would expect a LOT more land and also be less urban in setting.
It's actually hideous, I'm struggling to find one room that is likable, maybe the bar/pool area. It makes Tony Soprano's house look classy.
Monthly repayments work out at $114,998/month - it's do-able if both partners are working full time as drug dealers😏
