Then I realised why - it faces directly onto probably the busiest pub in the country. The ad was very nice not to mention that though, & to exclude it from the outside photos

I sleep like a rock (I have literally slept through several hours of people drilling a few feet into the ground to fix the plumbing when I had a bedroom downstairs, only a sheet of drywall away from said filling) and one thing I utterly despise about Dublin are the commutes if you work in the city centre and are not on a Luas line... to be honest if I were looking I'd be pretty delighted to jump on that.

And as others said even if it were to prove a problem, having as a rental or Airbnb/handy place to crash when not in occupancy you know there'll never be a shortage of demand for that location.

Rather than reasonable, let's say it's vaguely acceptable.

There have been worse places on here but still paying a grand a month for that place is depressing.

Ad says

Spacious granny flat

Really not the worst i have seen here.
Problem with a lot of these things is, what kind of furniture they put in them.
Why on earth would you put a 2 seater recliner in there? It makes the place look 50% smaller in 1 go.

I really think they spent some money on that place but they couldnt get it more wrong if they tried again.

It's a kitchen/living room. You'd normally have some sort of a couch in a living room.

I'd be more upset that there is no kitchen/dining table. Are you supposed to sit and eat your dinner off the kitchen counter?

I am not against putting something there to park your arse on. But why a 2 seater reclining monster that takes half the rooms space?

I mean, love it or hate it, when you go through Ikea it gives you a good idea what you can also do when space is limited.

Think there is a dining facility on the right side of my screenshot.
And if not... meh.
No need fro a dining table when a place has 1 single bed.

I think the dining facility on the right hand side of the pic is a TV stand.

Regarding the 2 seater recliner, I doubt the landlord went out and bought it for the granny flat. It's probably something that the landlord once had in their own house but don't want it any more so they stuck it into the granny flat.

€1400 would be ok for a small flat in Drumcondra but not in Clonee. The top loader washer would a problem too.

As far as I can see there's no kitchen table whats on the right hand side is a TV stand.

Dont know whats on top of that chair next the counter looks like binoculars or something

inforfun

It is €1000, not 1400
And 1400 for a small flat is never ok. Anywhere in Ireland.

Not a bad house as such but jaysus you'd think they'd put in some effort with the photos.

If I didn't have kids, that would be my dream home. The busier the streets the better. I'm a nosey cnut people watcher.

Electricity prob disconnected on that Roscommon one.

The house doesn't look abandoned so I'd be surprised if the electricity is cut off. More like the auctioneer is a little thick and didn't realise how dark the pics were going to turn out.

Nice house though.

One man's meat is another man's poison. I'd go mad in a place like that.

I was about to correct you and say there is a coffee table, then I realised it is a TV stand. It's another thing I can't help but notice in Irish rentals where the layout is ignored in favour of a box ticking exercise for 'pieces' without thinking how much sense they would make. I hate viewing TV at much of an angle and don't think I'm alone there, would almost have to find myself sitting in the sink to watch the TV there.

I'd put the telly stand in the gap beside the fridge and the window (where the stool is). I'd put the couch facing it on the opposite wall. No crick in the neck then. Not sure where to put the washing machine then. maybe where the tv stand originally was. Not very aesthetic.

It would be kind of nice to have blinds or curtains on the window though.

In a lovely location. Needs a bit of TLC but I'd live there.

It was probably built as a temporary structure back before planning was taken seriously, so you'll never be able to alter it in any way and you may be prohibited from occupying it for all 12 months of the year.

Granted you couldn't knock it down and build another house there, but is there anything to suggest that the existing property is not compliant with regulations and you would not be able to live in it year round?

Cash buyers only perhaps more due to it being an unconventional construction, might be difficult getting a mortgage on a shed!
