Not a bad house at all. I'd happily live in it. Aside from the 10,000 cows who died in the furnishing of that house it's quite nice. I'm guessing the owner is/was a butcher seeing as there are piles of cow hides and a butcher's block table in the kitchen.

How the hell do they not break their necks falling over those hideous cow hides though. They must also have a forrest because firewood is piled up everywhere.

Not the worst garage conversion I've seen but I sure hope the landlord plans to put some curtains on the front window.

I walk past that house most days. Will keep a look out for curtains.

So would I. After getting rid of the curved table top/chopping board, the cow stuff, and a lick of paint other than white on a few walls.

2.5k is mad rent for that location, but I'd have to give them some kudos on the layout. They've managed to make something bright and roomy from your bog standard 3-up, 2-down 1980s house.

Ugly as sin on the outside though and by jesus you'd need to see the engineer's certs after all of the walls they've removed downstairs.

80s? Go again.

1500 a month to live in a shed in a back garden in a 1960s council estate in Tallaght.

A few years in prison couldn't be that bad.

You wouldn't want to sit up suddenly in the bed, but at least you could get dressed on the loo. Handy to have the wardrobes beside the toilet really, I'm surprised more don't do it ...

Where's the rest of upstairs? It's like Harry Potter, but over the stairs instead of under them.

what could possibly go wrong with storing your clothes in a bathroom.

Nothing, who doesn't love to smell musty after brushing mould off their clothes?

That’s the main door into the apartment, no? Has a lock, the intercom is beside it.

You're right! You must have to go down stairs to the loo/walk in wardrobe and hope you don't impale yourself on the 2 feet of extra handrail sticking up in the air.

How do you get to the door when it's obviously upstairs? That looks like a makeshift stairs too.

It's an enigma!

Yeah, think the toilet and wardrone are in the downstairs landing

And what kind of building is it in? A house?

Anyone in Dublin willing to go for a viewing?

I think the extra long handrail is on the wall side, ie screwed to the wall.

Probably the building was converted into flats and they had a small space left over on two floors, not big enough to be separate rooms/flats. So they threw in a stairs between them and called it a “studio apartment”. The main door into the apt could be any floor of the building with the bathroom a “blind” space on the floor below with no other entrance other than the stairs. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was in a basement actually.

Surprised the agent isn't trying to sell it as "Canal Long Boat inspired"
