Inside the beautiful and famous Dublin home of RTE show Love/Hate crime boss John Boy Power

It's been well over ten years since John Boy Power, Nidge, Darren and Co burst onto our screens on RTE's phenomenal gangland show Love/Hate and it's been over five years since its explosive ending.

Aidan Gillen's drug trafficking kingpin character literally had a grasp over Dublin's fair city for two seasons before being gunned down in one of the show's many shocking twists.

And it was in John Boy's majestic and famous apartment where many of the most well-known quotes were said and various iconic scenes took place.

Before Nidge took over the reigns, he was just another 'yes man' to head honcho JBP, a master puppeteer who had his members asking "how high" on a daily basis - and Boy did John make them jump.

And rightly so, sure if it wasn't for John's Power, "Nidge would be getting married in some gaff near the Red Cow roundabout. They'd be having chips for their tea".

Another famous line uttered in the apartment during one of John Boy and brother Hughie's ('Cueball') drug-filled conversations.

Well, did you ever want to have a look inside his humble abode in the fictional show?

The apartment is located at The Granary at Distillery Lofts between Richmond Road and Distillery Road in Dublin  9.

Overlooking Croke Park, the spacious penthouse was where John Boy cooked up a number of plots. And the apartment even comes with the pool table used in the hit show.

The Granary as a whole contains one, two and three-bed apartments and used to be a whiskey distillery, dating back to 1878.

The impressive property has been preserved with many original features, such as brickwork and archways, still exposed. This provides "a feeling of space and character", according to Savills.

Inside, the apartments have high-spec kitchens and bathrooms, while the penthouse itself stretches out to 3,423 square feet and offers panoramic views of Croke Park.

But don't take our word for it, have a look for yourself:
