How does this cowboy bannon sleep at night?


On a bed of money I suspect

Lovely relaxed couple.

Gorgeous patient builder.

Incredibly annoying architect.

Unimpressive expensive house.

Must say I don't like upside down houses. Not great for the older folk or wheelchair users.

I reckon people would look in /see them more when they are living upstairs , what ye think ?

Couldn't agree more!!!

Unbelievable job on that house, the builder was a gas man, fit to kill Dermot at times!

I liked it but would have spent the €670k differently (and I would think better)

Rich parents do not make guaranteed happiness. They are very much in love with each other, that's their secret.

Cheap at the price considering the foundations and new roof.

I like the general design, needed one big window, but possibly planning would be refused. The ballustrade and stairs didn't do it for me, actually needs glass there IMO.

Walls looked bare with no photos/paintings but I guess the ladies will put their own stamp on in in the future. Didn't like the gravel garden either, but there's probably a reason for it.

Its all about the view. Fair play to them they got what they wanted anyway. Nice couple, nice house.

37K over budget.

That's some contingency fund.

I always wonder about the practicality of this. Like their living space would be right beside next doors bedrooms. I wonder was there any soundproofing considered. A lot of chairs on noisy timber floors etc., likewise their bedrooms downstairs would be beside sitting room/kitchen of next door..

Lisha

I like the kitchen living areas being upstairs with the view. Makes great sense IMHO

Agree that the railing should have been glass.

Some people have money to burn

They both have good, high paid jobs. So yeah, they have their own money to burn, fair play to them.

Ironically, half the country knows the house now, if I ever go on a spin past it, I'll be sure to have a gawp, where normally I wouldn't pass another look at it.

I know next week's house. I though I saw scaffolding up outside it last week??? Surely not! It didn't look remotely finished. I will have to take a spin tomorrow and see what's going on with it.

What part of the country is it in?

Don't get views myself normally, the only view I'd be interested in is that on the 50" tv but have to say it was impressive. A lovely pair, wish them all the best in their new home

Well.... There in negative equity

I like the house ,suits the couple imo.They seemed to be genuinely happy with it and it was refreshing not to have a bossy annoying client.

Very hot builder made it an very enjoyable show too.:pac:

I don't think it was bothering them though , they wanted that house where it was and could obviously afford it .

Very refreshing I agree to have non demanding divas as clients . It wasn't all about them. They got what Dermot wanted to create .....no silly hissy fits about handles on all the kitchen presses etc . Coolest house of the series .....coolest couple too 👍

CarrickMcJoe

The finished product definitely had the wow factor and while I hate white walls, it worked here. Yes, the cost was huge but worth it. Good builder, I'd say he did himself a few favours here and lovely clients. Best build yet.

To a certain extent being in negative equity only matters if you want sell up and move on.

Best of luck to them I hope they are always as happy there for a long time to come

Leave the house at Christmas? :pac:

I liked what they did to the house. The finish is great on the inside but I didn't like the finished look of the outside. They seem to be a genuinely nice couple and I hope they have many years of happiness in their gorgeous home. The view is amazing, I'd love it.
