    An unusual property up here in Inishowen, Co. Donegal.
    Old coastguard station with nice sea views.
    Pricey for a 2 bed, but obviously trying to sell it on the 'unusual' factor.

    I’m more concerned about the internal bedroom - some codology by an estate agent to try to inflate the asking price by about 100k

    The bedroom with the sink & mould/peeling wallpaper issues catches my eye.
    The place doesn't have any radiators at all so it must be baltic in the winter, oil radiator to keep away the ice!
    Open fire in living room & that's all it has for heating; sea breeze in winter beating onto single pane glass windows...

    Needs 150K just to modernise & make it liveable.

    Edit: Terraced house in Sandymount

    Gas heating mentioned in the ad.

    It has character, but how many levels in this house?

    Also, what's up with the washing machine on pedestal? It's like a bust of Lenin in soviet school.

    The washing basket is stored underneath it

    It also reduces back ache as you don't need to stoop so low to load it, sometimes these different ways to do things actually make sense.
    I was in Pakistan once watching this fridge on a stand walk across the room during an earthquake, not its intended purpose, but amusing to watch while I was thinking about the structural integratry of the building I was in, we survived!

    Some houses just weren't intended for Ireland after we all got notions and decided that we're too good for net curtains. :pac:

    On street view at least half the houses here have net curtains, a few have blinds, or a high hedge. Not too many showoffs with nothing covering these massive front windows. Can only imagine the trouble back in the day with young lads playing football in the front garden - would have cost a week's wages to replace those panes.

    When I zoom in in the photos there seems to be a curtain they’ve pulled back in the window frame.

    Classic 1960's design statement, when oil was soooo cheap that no one really cared about heating bills, how wrong they were.

    Yes night time curtains but nothing to stop anyone gawping straight into your living room in the day time.

    To me they seem to have night time curtains and something else in the window frame. I know people who used have nets like this and they used only close them when they wanted more privacy.

    My ex had the dishwasher at hip/eye level. Best thing ever! Emptying didn't feel like such a chore, if I ever get a chance I'll have it in my own place

    Based in Foxrock I don't think they would have a problem with the cost of a new window or energy bills mind.

    Yes nothing wrong with it at all, doing research at the moment for our kitchen/utility upgrade & planning something like this, so its a good option from an ergonomic perspective;)
