That seems like mad money for Limerick
The Limerick house is 'cool' rather than comfortable, and it looks as though it has been depersonalised for sale, but I can't say I dislike it. I would not choose a black kitchen particularly and I dislike striped marble generally, but I respect their choices. Seems like a mad price for an otherwise very average sized house.

This might just me being either too thick or too poor to understand it, but what happens when you get water in between the slats on photo 22 after a shower? You hardly take the whole timber piece up to mop do you you? What's the alternative though? Let it fester?
Agreed it looks fancy but I agree it would be more trouble than it was worth. I imagine you lift it on edge to mop under it, but it seems like a messy carry-on, I'd rather have a towelling mat at the shower door to step on to, but that would be peasant level of smartness!
It sits over a drain hole thats linked to the shower tray. Think of it like a shower mat.
I had a similar arrangement in a house I lived in a few years ago - you'd be horrified at the hair and muck that sticks to the wood, particularly on the underside. Not easy to clean at all.
I could never go to the toilet comfortably with your man in the toilet.
Looking right at you while holding his nethers. 👀
240m2 is average sized?
Heavens yes, I had not looked at the actual size of the house, I tend to assume they are exaggerated by the lenses used in the photos. That is a decent sized house, though it doesn't really look it, from the outside either.
€890k! In Limerick!! It's not even a nice house on it's own site….
it looks a lot bigger on the satellite view. Also the photo of the front has been taken at a very careful angle. it doesnt show the dumping ground to the left that appears on the satellite view and streetview
curious to see how those houses were built in that site so went back to geohive. Looks like the back gardens were sold at some point in the 90’s and never built on until now. Strange to assemble a site so long ago and then sit on it
Looks like a garden grab that didn't work out initially. Maybe the next door held out, but once started, some progress in 16 months;
I worked with a guy in the 90's who lived in one of the older existing houses and he was approached about selling the end of his garden, he got involved in asking his neighbours to also sell and when I moved jobs he couldn't convince his wife to sell. Haven't seen him since so wonder how he got around her. The North Circular road in Limerick would tend to have some of the priciest property in the city so I presume it's the going rate for there.
cheers folks, when you go back to the black and white pics which are from the early 90’s AFAIK, you can see the long back gardens intact.
Presume a builder was solely working at buying them until he could do a decent sized estate that the council would approve too. Probably hit by the recession and NAMA then.
I wonder why number 4 next door to the the one for sale was not developed at the same time.
Big enough house, but a tiny plot.
Tiny back garden with limited access from front of house, maybe enough room for a bin.
No garage.
View to the front is a concrete block wall with some nice graffiti.
Vacant site next door looks like it has become a dumping ground.
I'd have to stick my head out the velux window in the attic en suite to take a p1ss.
890k? No thank you!
The North Circular road has a lot of notions. its the D6W of Limerick
Good example of "never judge a book by it's cover"

what are the panels on the ceilings in several of the rooms?
and why have they blurred what looks like a warhol print of elvis in photo #10? they've not done a very good job!
The panels look like ceiling mounted electric heaters - probably used these due to space saving considerations as there does not appear to be any wall mounted rads in any of the images.
yeah, i was wondering that. i wonder how efficient they could be.
It seems to be infrared heating panels.
Apparently infrared heating panels are very localised - 'they don't heat the air, so the room is cooler away from the heat'. And the house overall is D2 so not all that efficient. I don't think I would fancy them.
Its odd that they have had infrared heating installed but have not updated the fuseboard. They have certainly made the place look nice, but I would be a bit wary of how superficial it is, and personally don't like the laminate flooring at all.
I saw them being used in Grand Designs, they apparently heat objects rather than the room as the rays are absorbed. So, they'd heat the people in a room rather than the room. That might work in an A rated, passive home but I'd be doubtful of it working in that home too.
Hold your horses there... IR heaters excel in cold environments, since they heat the people directly rather than the air in the room. They're even used as outdoor heaters outside pubs and cafes during wintertime.
Yep, I acknowledged they heat the people rather than the room. I'm just not convinced it would be a comfortable home to live in, I've often been cold outside a pub or cafe that had them, or part cold/part warm.
Like microwaves? 🫣
Kinda sounds like that to me, too. (I know they are not, but still).
