    I like it. It's unique and it falls on the right side of borderline tacky.

    Some parts of that house do look pretty nice. It's a pity that the rest of it is unbelievably tacky.

    All that ironwork and trellis 'stuff' on the veranda is just naff and the fact they continue it indoors leads me to believe the place belonged to someone who won about a million in Euromillions and had been to Dubai or Saudi Arabia on holiday and wanted to recreate the experience back in Dublin. Looks like it could be the set for a Harry Potter film.

    Someone should have told the fan of metal working that sometimes less is more. :D

    My brother was in school with one of the children. The father is a psychologist.

    Sometimes when we were younger we'd get our parents to drive to the house just to look at the gates. The residents in the estate beside the house all think it's a monstrosity!
