True, but if you decide to chance converting a shed and offering it as accommodation then its clear you are taking a chance, whereas this is one of those yokes that people tend to think, well its on sale it must be ok. Which is stupid but it happens. This is someone else selling you a pup against you breeding one of your own.
I doubt it would comply with building regs etc., but neither would the sheds poorly converted and grandly advertised as studios.
But all the usual caveats apply. Is it up to building regs, would you get pp for it? Would you get a mortgage for it? What is it constructed from? Is it insurable? It looks very cute sitting among the trees there, maybe it would make a reasonable holiday home, but there is a lot of information missing from the brief description.
Handy little 1 bed prefab homes for anyone with a spare site around Dublin? Actually looks more well made than some of the sh1te for rent in Dublin currently.
Celtic tiger era. I can't find a link, sorry.
Was this recently? It used to happen a bit in the 80s and 90s but even in the Celtic Tiger days councils were making developers rebuild whatever had been knocked down. Do you have a link for it, it must have been in the local media if someone set fire to it
Didn't happen in the case I was talking about.
This is pronbably totally naive of me to say this.... but I thought they put a stop to that type of incident. If the place burned down, the builder has to rebuild it back to the way it was?
I think they probably could get the 500k asking price but it all depends on what it is likely to get planning permission for on the rest of the site. Like if they could renovate the schoolhouse (small as it is) it is still a unique and historic building so someone would pay 250k-300k for it in move in condition.It could also serve as a coffee shop or other small retail business.
After that it depends what the council would allow in terms of development. The biggest challenge is the site is right there at the traffic lights and vehicular access is difficult. Thats a busy junction in an already busy village. The site does share a boundary with a car park so if the owners of that were willing to sell a right of way then that would make getting planning permission a fair bit easier.
I didn't realise it was a listed building. It's also right at the edge of the road, has a pedestrian crossing in front of it and 2 takeaways beside it so I think they'll find it hard to shift at that price.
I thought that alright re being able to do very little to the outside of it. It will be interesting to see if it sells, must check back on it via the thread, every so often, and see.
I've seen a developer refused planning permission for a site that contained a listed building. A few months later the listed building mysteriously and totally accidentally burned down which paved the way for the developer to resubmit his application for planning which was subsequently granted.
Yes because the old schoolhouse is a listed building it cant be knocked or changed in any way from the outside. The inside of it is a mess and needs a full revamp.
The site itself goes a bit of a distance back from the school house so they could still build a small block of apartments there. But as everything around Lucan village is pretty much two storey there will definitely be objections if a developer tries to get permission for a 5 or 6 storey apartment block. So its kind of risky from that point of view in that the developers profit depends on how many units they can get permission for and if they're willing to spend time and money in a protracted planning dispute which could take over a year to play out.
I'm not 100% sure but I'm fairly sure I've seen that place for sale with a good while or it was something very similar.
I see the actual house is a listed building, which I believe protects it in various ways. I'm no expert though on the topic.
Would that make a difference to the developer throwing up apartments there?
I was reading an article at the weekend about the various pieces / contents that are to be sold.

A developer will probably throw up a lot of apartments there. The price seems reasonable for the location and the site.
Penny Apples Print still on the wall. Bit of a personal piece.
That's a lot of money... 🤔🥺
Edited my post to take this into account!
Also I believe the contents are up for auction also.
That has been on sale for a good while now. Is it even still Bills house?
Thought he went broke years ago, obviously not if he still owns thay
Bill Cullen's House fairly Close to the M7. Not to my taste to be honest. I'd say that bathroom would smell!(It maybe his former home).

well you would if you are normal, but, you know ...
You would have to buy the other .3 acre to put in a water treatment system/percolation area, then probably move the well. Having a percolation area uphill from a wts tank isn't a problem - we have that. If it put the well 'below' it though, or too close, the well would have to be moved.
I mean..... do people even look at the photos they're uploading?
If you've taken a shot like that, and it looks like you've melted a duvet all over the floor (being kind about it), would you not consider taking the shot again? Or just not using it???
Fisheye lens screwing things up.

I'm kind of curious what the former residents did when they needed to go to the toilet? Were did waste/waste water go?
It's a nice location but there's no way I'd pay €210k for it. You wouldn't have much change left out of €150k- €200k after you've renovated the place. You might also have problems installing a septic tank depending on where the well is located. The site is only 0.3 of an acre and that includes the house so it may be difficult to get the septic tank far enough away from the well etc. The field to the rear of the house is on quite a slope so it would be a major job to try put in a percolation area there.
