Don't like the pod type bathroom, sticks out totally.
Otherwise the design is very nice.

She reminds me of teacher I had a crush on in secondary school!

SeaFields

Up to 290k?! Jesus Christ

appledrop

I guessed it was Dundrum or Stillogan. God these must have money to throw away. Nothing really wrong with this house but they are going to spend €180,000 on it. MADNESS.

Micky___

100 grand added to the budget. :eek:

ShamoBuc

180 to 290 k JESUS

the_pen_turner

freshpopcorn

Did they get the extra 100k off a money tree?

My Father-in-Law lives on the same road. Big houses, big rooms... feckin' freezing. Impossible to keep the place warm.

SeaFields

I am absolutely lost as to the justification for 290k build. Can't see the kids in the next room and it's a bit awkward getting in the door with school bags.

And not a word about insulation of existing building and improving energy efficiency levels

Edit I heard it I’m a few mins behind

iamwhoiam

Move the blessed door so the woman can get in and out in peace . Jeez

ShamoBuc

I like the idea of the door being in the middle, more symmetrical.

Final cost 320k and Lisa will say "fantastic value for money". Thats probably why Patricia left, she couldn't keep a straight face saying that line any more

Lisa can say whatever she wants !!!!!

WoolyJumper

They seem like a nice couple. I know most would disagree with me but id keep the door, maybe just change the glazing and paint it up. I don't know why but I really like it

290k is a 3 bedroom house in some parts of Dublin. A 4 in others.

In fairness that's comparing apples and oranges. These are really big 4 bed semis, big gardens, near good schools, shops and transport links. I'm not saying they're perfect, far from it, but they're much more desirable than a pokey 3 bed in a rough estate somewhere miles out of town.

I want blue. I know lets do it orange. lol
