This Georgian house in Ballsbridge is a catch

It comes with its own catch, of course… it’s quite pricey.

THIS HOUSE IN Wellington Place may truly be a dream house.

It’s located in the heart of the city centre, is covered in ivy, has a pool and an ‘engine room’, no less.

The house, which used to belong to Michael Slazenger of Slazenger sportswear fame, was built in 1798 and is an excellent example of Georgian architecture.

    I read an article before where it was predicted in the future , scientists will be able to translate and display what animals think , feel and comprehend.
    That future generations will look back at the savagery of our intensive factory farming techniques in horror.
    Not to mention the environmental hazards it causes

    @Diarmuid Hunt: Unkike you, I use a phone, not a computer. Also unlike you, I have spell check switched off. It cannot deal with the 7 languages I generally communicate in. This game is fun, but unlike you, I have a life to get back to. Oh one last fun one. Unlike you, I have man hands.

    @Ian Phillip Creaner: You made some great assumptions there with no information so well done you. I’m using a phone, I’m a man using my hands, I don’t jump on other people’s mistakes unless they make it while trying to point out others’ mistakes. You can’t have much of a life considering all the things you found ‘fun’ in your last comment. Anyway have a good one.
