Are people gone mad ??

Who in their right mind would think that this is a worthwhile sale and what the hell would you do with it if you were to buy it?

What exactly are we meant to be looking for?

bounty_hunter

Build an underground lair, obviously.

aidan_walsh

Probably someone taking the name of the site to heart.

Someone selling their front lawn as a "site without planning permission".

Theres a lot of builders buying gardens like that.

Cost of property = ~€50,000
Cost of building house = ~€150,000

Sale of new House = ~€350,000

Lots of money to be made!

I'd put a bench under the tree and pretend to fish from an inflatable paddling pool. But then, I always wanted to be a garden gnome.

meldrew

Its there now , thats a nice tree alright

You could barely build a frigging Wendy house on a site that size tbh.

I'd say 0.03 is a misprint. The site probably extends beyond the wall to the rear. If pp was granted the structure would probably have to be in line with the existing houses.

You don't need a wendy house, just build a wee tree house.

But in fairness, Tarzan couldn't swing a chimp in that area and there's hardly room for his vine :eek:

Yes, yes they are.

(cool name, guru!)

Hey I said a WEE treehouse.
And if all else fails you could fashion some sort of swing out of a piece of rope. That would keep ye entertained for a while.

10.2 metres x 10.8 metres is more than enough room to built a house on. I'm currently designing a 3 bed house with ground floor area of 8.5 metres x 6.5 metres. You will easily fit a house in, the only problem would be planning permission with regards to private space around the house (i.e. garden) and also the fact that the new house would break the line of the existing houses by sticking out a bit. but to be honest, many garden sites have houses built on them now with total disregard for the existing line of property on the road so I reckon that garden will be snapped up by a builder and profits will be made as displayed by a previous poster. 50,000 for site (probably more) 150,000 to build, sell finished product for 350,000+

Dave!

I'd laugh if a family of travellers bought it and parked their caravan there

junkyard

It looks like a parking space to me.

au contraire, they are building 3/4 houses on patches that big/small (whatever way you want to look at it) in Skerries. the houses look more like pieces from a 3D jigsaw puzzle than houses, but there ya go. it seems to be happening a lot

LOL! are we re-fashoning the 'room to swing a cat' phrase?

People are mad. The really mad ones just don't know they are.

And that looks like a parking space as junkyard said.

Ford Prefect

Sad thing is, somebody will probably buy it. But sure if you can make a buck, what does it matter. It's a greedy /w/o/r/l/d/country.

blu_sonic

i'd buy it, pave it, rent it out to travelers, oh yeah!

Nope.
Opportunity to acquire a small site without planning permission 10.2 x 10.8 meter in Artane

Kolodny

Doesn't look like much of a space.

Strangest thing I ever saw on daft though was a rental ad for a flat at the rear of a house in Blackrock - "would suit one person or small couple"
