    Same here. I can't figure it out at all. What's the purpose of having it over the stairs!

    Looking at it again. does it fold away when not in use? That leg at the front going under then the bed up against the wall? Space saver?

    Love the wee steps!

    Holy sh1t, I know we have shoeboxes here but the Parisians have matchboxes in comparison. Have been snowboarding in France several times and the ski resorts are located in massive mountain ranges with unlimited space yet they still expect four people to live cramped up in 25sqm for an entire week with wet clothes trying to get dry everywhere. Its a night mare and you pay through the nose for it too. I dont know what it is with the French being tightarses and building such small spaces in places where there is acres and acres of free land.

    Is that 'maisonette' really only 6sqm though? Looks more like 10 or 12 to me. Maybe they only count physical floor space in Paris or something?

    Well, you could get a glass of water without getting out of "bed"! BED? A folding chair is not a bed...Even in prison there is a bed.

    I'm going to go against the grain here and say that it isn't a bad house. It's actually quite nice. You have to see past the gaudy furniture and trinkets. Get rid of that and the place would be totally different. Even the grey would be easier on the eyes if there wasn't so much horrible furniture and ornaments in the place.

    I really like the Gothic woodwork in pic 10, but I hate the mirrored alcoves in many rooms. Probably their purpose is to increase the light in the rooms, but a lighter shade of grey would have done the trick. It's a bit overwhelming as it is.
    Gerry would probably have laughed at those close ups of doorknobs. :)

    Yeah I actually agree with you. A stunning house. All it needs it some new paint.

    Just realised that during college I lived right behind Gerry on the Stiles Road. Never knew I was potentially rubbing shoulders with minor celebrities.

    Think this was on here before, A one-bedroom house (shed) for sale in Ticknock in the Dublin Mountains for 315k.
    "Shared Driveway" and "Huge potential to extend this property up to 40 square metres without planning permission" should ring alarm bells.

    All heating including hot water and shower seems to be run on electricity. With a rating of BER D1, that's going to result in fairly pricey electricity bills.

    I can't understand why anyone would put leaded window panes in a modern build. They're hideous and don't belong in anything built in the last 150 years or more.

    This property is a one off and very rarely does a property like this come to the market.

    Aint that a fact!

    You know what? That would suit me down to the ground. As long as it had good internet, I'd happily live in that.

    For €150k max though. And it's gone up €16k since April?!

    Looks like the microwave door was replaced at some point in it's life. The brown tape on the homemade splash-guard seals the deal

    That's small money for a room in a lot worse locations to be fair.

    Tinfoil is a bit mad alright.

    This little beaut is on the other side of Navan, only a 170k......... a snip for a G Rated house.
    Whats the concrete blocks in the garden? Some sort makeshift septic tank?

    I cant see it being sorted out for for at least 260K (including price, legal fees etc)
    Insulation, making a cat or a dog of the failed extension, the garden...... It makes me cry to look at it.
    Imagine the eyesore for the neighbours?

    ITs not even in the nice part of Meath. Given that Navan is nice but its not worth that price! Probably worth right now 90k for the site with planning permission and just knock and rebuild. ITs a mess. The bank will sell it as a going concern next summer probably

    The fact that it's a semi makes it harder and more expensive to knock. Steer well clear unless it's going for a song. And by a song I mean about €40k - €50k.
