    Yes, and we won't even talk about where you are supposed to put any clothes you may have:).

    You are probably goign to be stuck with the bill for the tv license as well.
    Not just for your garage but for the full house.

    Question remains... how are you going to watch tv? Standing in front of your sink? Sitting on your sink?

    Yes, standing at the sink while you stir your one and only pot!

    A series of cleverly placed mirrors should do the trick. Best seat in the house seems to be the jacks so I'd point them toward there.

    That's grim! €700 to live in Ballybane :(
    You'd have to be very resilient to live in such a limited space. (Looks like they built the "studio" in the side passage of the house.)

    It almost makes some of the sheds that have been posted here look spacious.

    "live" is stretching it a bit, not much you can do there. They're also looking for a 12 month lease so it's obviously not aimed at students either. Depressing that a grown worker may have to take it.

    It reminds me of my student days in Galway where a mate of mine lived in a 'flat' which was basically someone's garage with a bed, a kitchenette and electricity meter you'd stick 50p in every once in a while. They didn't even insulate it, so the amount of mould was insane. This is definitely a step up from that, but still incredibly grim

    My first thoughts as well.

    But I guess if you were in RTC, oops sorry GMIT (showing my age there), it might not be so bad.
    It does have that special claustrophobic feel to it and the door look extra narrow.
    Back in my day the concern would be where to put the bike, but nowadays it might be car parking.

    Back in the day I did spend a summer in a garage conversion.
    Now it was part of house, not separate and I guess it was ok in summer.
    The thing that I kept fooking forgetting was step down into it from back hall off kitchen.
    And it was pain in ar** to come home from pub, miss the step and then end up smacking face off side of bed.

    At least the roof is high enough that when you tie a rope on the velux window handle your feet won't touch the floor when you jump off the chair

    That's probably the only way you could watch the TV.

    I just checked the ad again and it has gone from utilities included to bins and utilities to be paid. Talk about adding insult to injury!

    The other option would be to climb on the roof and hang upside down from the velux window to watch the TV - with the rest of your body outside. You would also have to make sure to turn the TV upside down to view it properly...

    Isn't there a law that has a minimum of 2 doors between a toilet and a food preperation area ?

    The agents on these property sites look like such slavering reptiles.
    Kind of people that would murder their own parents for a €1.

    You must be out of Ireland a very long time if you think that house is in Edenmore.

    Its Grange Woodbine, actually not a bad price for the house. Lovely area.

    You get to have a bidet experience while you watch TV.
    They should increase the rent based on that luxury.

    You'd easily spend €100k or more doing up that house. Would someone pay half a million for a house there?
