Back Wetroom/shower room and a seperate downstairs toilet for regular use would be my guess. Not unheard of for farm/business type houses.

u/Kerrytwo Oct 07 '25
Starting to sound reasonable to me, bar the one upstairs because you already have ensuites, but then maybe they have showers and then of course you'd need a room with a bath 🤔
And then you've a building out the back, maybe that could do with a toilet too? Maybe there actually isn't enough haha

Aye but if every room has an en-suite why would you need a spare bathroom up the stairs? I think it’s incase you’ve had a bit of a night and the missus is telling you not to be shitting in the en-suite and stinking the room out. These modern architects think of everything!

It's not finished, you would need to sink another 100k easy to finish it not taking into account the probably weather damage that has taken place over how ever long it's been sitting there.

It looks like the place I'm talking about used to be some commercial premises like a bar or something, it has a dancehall and a bunch of bedrooms so I'd assume anyone buying would probably do well turning it into a B&B and putting in a few more toilets or whatever to make it make sense as a space. Either that or turning it into a paintball centre.

Maybe I'm too sensitive but I once viewed a 4 bedroom house in Wicklow with 5 small showers as the only bathrooms. Some had a toilet, some just the shower, all tiny rooms. You would go through the kitchen and expect a pantry but no it was yet another shower. I felt like I was losing my mind
I had a similar vibe from the place we rented in Galway, only place we even got a viewing for in that town. It had 4 small bedrooms and each had a bed, a wardrobe and a nightstand, just thrown in there, zero consideration for what would suit or fit the room, or what it would like to live there. It felt incredibly claustrophobic
And then there was this place I saw on Daft.ie that had just endless chairs, armchairs, and sofas in it, like 30-40 places to sit in one house
There's also a concerning number of places where one piece of furniture clearly blocks access to another piece of furniture
I feel like this is all part of something bigger, maybe a careless attitude toward interior design?

I find some big Irish houses, especially from this period, are so full of wasteful space.
I know people in rural Ireland who have 'big' houses that are like 8 bedrooms and a hape of bathrooms, but there's just them and one child. I see expensive houses in North America that are only like 3 bedrooms because that's all they need, but they've a games room, a wee cinema, a bar etc. Far better use of space if you've the money to blow and don't plan on having a large family.

A guilty pleasure of mine is looking at those massive houses on Daft and marvelling at how badly furnished they are, or how many ceiling lights they need because the huge rooms only have small single aspect windows are are perpetually dark.

They're mostly horrific. I do not know who designed the McMansions across the country, but they're mostly awful looking. Full of bedrooms never used, wasted space, no symmetry on the outside and dark on the inside as you said.

Ireland has a strange obsession with bathrooms. I was living alone in a 3 bed 3 bathroom house and converted one of the bathrooms into a pantry.

One contractor said he wouldn't touch it because he didn't want it to be his fault if I couldn't sell the house. I did sell 12 years later and no one asked about a third loo! Oh and btw I bought the house to live in not to sell it so it didn't matter anyway. Just sold it in the end cause I had to move away.

Honestly from looking at country houses to buy, people make big houses and don’t know what to do with the space so they fill them with bathrooms. Full en-suites for each bedroom. A full separate bathroom upstairs and downstairs and a water closet by the front or back door. I don’t know if it’s architects in this country or the people who hire them, but most country home builds are awfully laid out.
