Who'd live in a house like this? Part 2

Twenty years on and it’s a very different neighbourhood. The mart is closed, the green triangle by the train station is a car park and just opposite is a big shopping complex. Won’t be anything like that corner of the Avenue 20 (or 30) years ago.
The mart was actually already gone by the time I lived there, and there was a WFC (Wexford Farmers Co-Op) shop on the site where it used to be. It's since then evolved into that dental place on the corner, and the bike shop beside it. The rest of the development along the grandly-named Paul Funge Boulevard is all new in the intervening years all right. Mainly because the road itself didn't even exist back then.
I still live just about 15 minutes away (Camolin/Ferns direction) and so am obviously still very familiar with the area. It's moved on like just about everywhere else all right, but still a good town.0 -
Snap! Only there 6 months in studio apartment. It's a lot of building in a prime Gorey location for the price.
Howdy, sort-of once-upon-a-time neighbour.
I had what was basically the ground floor of the part of the building accessed through the black door that can you see in the main photo, near the gateway into the yard. It had a massive sitting room of about 25' x 15', and the bedroom was a big size too. Undoubtedly the best place I ever rented. Only moved out when I bought my first place of my own.0 -
I don't think there is a window, I was trying to figure out what was off about it! Imagine that in a heatwave. :eek:Looks like Harry Potters room under the stairs
Maybe there's a 'You are a wizard' mug in the cupboard
...Is there even a window?
ETA: some random drunk confirmed there is!0 -

On the reverse of that mug it says

The interior decor on this is very..... emmm.... swish? Anyone selling curtains and wallpaper in Clondalkin would have done well out of these owners. Special mention to the cushion on the couch.
I don't know Woodford, but Yellow Meadows just down the road is a decent spot. €225K for a 3-bed in Dublin is good value if the area checks out. It has been rented out for 10 years though.

3 properties for 251k while there are very high rents about. A canny landlord could get them all rented to the council on long leases and have a very nice rent roll of around 25k a year, thats a 10% return on investment. They need a bit of money spent to furnish them but canny landlords always go to Bargaintown and buy the absolute cheapest of crap to kit it out.
Yeah as Alun said Ballyknockan just outside Blessington was a centre of granite construction back in the day with loads of stonemasons in the village who built their own houses by hand and worked on big projects in Dublin. Theres a granite quarry behind the village which supplied the granite for lots of churches in Dublin and buildings like Bank of Ireland on College Green. Blessington and the lake is an under rated piece of Wicklow. Take a spin around Lake Drive which is about 50km and circumnavigates the entire lake, its a very scenic drive on a good day.
Anyway a mate of mine over in London is going to view this house tomorrow, it definitely ticks the 1970s box in a couple of rooms

£675k is some wedge for that but Im told its 30 minutes by train to Liverpool St in the City which is a very quick commute in London terms
Christ, can you imagine the STATE of that carpet and matt around the toilet ??0 -

Why do you think that?

Oh I could be completely wrong but I did live previously with an Asian family who kept rice in big plastic containers like that
There was a couple of things in the decor that had me leaning towards Indian - the curtain style, the family photo in the bedroom, the bucket in the bath, the metal jug in the kitchen but I could well be putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 5.0 -

Please tell me there's a toilet also, just out of shot. :pac:
Is it a bathroom accommodating a kitchenette or a kitchenette accommodating a bathroom?0 -

With a kitchen/bathroom like that, it’s no surprise where the dining room is.

Also, look at the photos to see the office. From the sign outside, it seems to be a limousine company. If so, why does the office have two full length mirrors and 3 curtained changing rooms?0 -

^^^:D:D I really don't get the attraction of the pod showers/steam room. You'd break your neck climbing in and out.
The kitchen door on the right of the photo is higher than the one on the left and has an extra step up to it. Who thought that asymmetry would look good?

These doors are very, very upsetting, distressing and disturbing all in one. I think Germans probably have one long word for this feeling I have.
That's one of the biggest messes of a layout I've seen. For a house that size and that much money spent it's a disaster. Some people do just have to make do with the space and budget they have so will be quirks and make do with odd layouts but there's no excuse with that budget.
The downstairs bedrooms are in a separate section behind that door they squeezed that high press. So to get to one of them from front door you have pass through the kitchen and to go through 5 door ways!
