That's rich . . . a room for €130,000

TALK about hot property.

Almost €130,000 has just been paid for a tiny room in an upmarket part of Dublin.

The price secured by Vincent Finnegan Auctioneers for the bedsit in a period house (right) at Leeson Park near Fitzwilliam Tennis Club is almost double the guide of €75,000 issued for the 10ft x 12ft room.

It was bought by a PhD student from Co Wexford . . . he reckons it's money well spent as his younger siblings will also use it when they reach college-going age and thereby save on rent.

Just like a student bedsit, it has one room with a wash-hand basin, closed-up fireplace and a small separate toilet.

It does not come with a parking space and it is certainly in need of refurbishment.

The buyer will have the Indian and Nigerian embassies for neighbours.
