   Imagine the sound of the birds landing on that roof.

      Or rain even.

   “lending itself to possibilities of an extension”

   Estate agent talk for “it’s tiny”.

   I do like to watch myself pee, so I’m sold on the floor to ceiling mirror behind the toilet bowl.

      No she’s still there. That’s how it maintains its BER certification. She’s bedridden so you have to share.
6. Sinabhfuil January 16, 2015 at 9:59 am

   What, no BER rating?
   It could be kind of cute if you put a decent roof on it and splayed the window openings, for half the price, obv.

   Glad I bought my house in Dublin 6 in 2011 with cash I got from the sale of my house in Dublin 8 in 2008.

      Now, if only you could find someone to share your happiness with!

   this might be the wood burning stove talking, but I think thats a really cosy little gaf!

    On a perfectly serious note, there is nothing wrong with a corrugated roof. They last a very long time, they don’t catch on fire, and with decent insulation (something I realize the average Irish person sneers at) they are no more noisy in the rain than the flat roof over the extension on this house. But I suppose it defies tradition.
    1. Ms Piggy January 16, 2015 at 10:30 am

       Having lived under them in NZ and Oz (where they’re the norm for many houses and apartment buildings) I’d agree with all that except about the noise when it rains. Dear lord, it sometimes felt like we were being shelled…but in a nice way, I loved lying in bed listening to the rain on the roof. Very cosy.
       1. Medium Sized C January 16, 2015 at 10:36 am

          Again though, proper insulation and sound proofing would go a great distance to helping that.

          Yes, very common on houses in OZ – some of them fancy houses. I still associate them with barns.
          My roof is colourbond (pre-painted steel sheets) – yes, a lot noisier when it rains than you would like.

       Are you from Lusk?

       I wish Geddy Lee would move there.

          Christ, that’s a deep cut there Mick.

             I hear Neil Peart is retiring and moving to Dundrum…

             …I’ll just head to the cloakroom, shall I?
             1. Mani January 16, 2015 at 10:56 am

                Take your Rush records with you.

          Is this house detached and subdivided in the mass production zone?
       3. joe January 16, 2015 at 2:53 pm

          I hear they have Permanent Waves…

    If someone wishes to buy it then they will make an offer. Nobody is being forced to purchase this property so I do not see why anyone should highlight the advertisement on Broadsheet.

    What is the justification?
    1. Hicksonian January 16, 2015 at 11:37 am

       Basic human housing of 2 rooms should not cost over three times the average salary. It’s 24 square metres. €5,000 a square metre. This is Rush, as the ad says – a rural location, not the floor of the stock exchange. But maybe, just maybe there’s someone out there who has dreams of owning their own…and so it goes.

    There is no justification, it doesn’t even feature a cat in a santy hat.
