"It apparently got planning permission in 2006 which expired in 2011. It seems a bit odd..."
PP granted at the tail end of the boom? Call me cynical, but probably depended on how stuffed the brown paper bag was.
Can you get planning permission without an established right of way?
I was wondering about that, then thought maybe the PP was got by an adjoining land owner, then sold it to some idiot (then bought back for a pittance) and is trying the same trick again?!
How is there grass growing inside the house? It's been exposed for a while, sure, but if there's a proper foundation for the entire footprint, you would still expect that to be visible. Instead it looks like they dug and laid foundations just for the walls.
That can't be right? Maybe just a thin layer of moss or something that looks like grass?
How would you get the machines or materials to it, even if you did?
Yes, on the right of way. The Planning Department are not interested in the legalities of the property, just the building and associated works. As I found out to my own aggravation at one stage.
I would not argue with that! Things have tightened up considerably now though.
Plus 2k a year service charge
One person described it as a ''f*****g shed with notions HA
Is that a trailer park? It does look very cosy, and I wouldn't mind a week in it with good weather. But €300k for it.... 🙄😬
I'd imagine it's moss. You see it common enough on these types of houses
You're right, the home in Philomena was in Roscrea, so not this one. I still wouldn't touch this with a bargepole, I'd say it would make for a very uncomfortable home because of the vibe and I'm not a believer in supernatural stuff.
The foundation you are used to seeing is called a raft where it cover the whole down stairs of the house. But you can also have foundations just for the walls which is the older way to do it. Sorry I don't know the proper names as I for get as I've been out of the building games for 20 years now.
That shed would be great to spend a summer holidays in but where the hell are they getting the price from. You would buy a proper house for that price. You would want to have very deep pockets to buy it. I've a feeling the owner spent far less than they are looking for on it and are chancing their arm.
You would, but not on the sunshine coast :)
Just had a look at proper houses in the area. Almost Dublin prices 😂
I am all about the supernatural, loads of my relations were shoved into the religious orders, some went quietly some not so, some were thrown out. The abuse that went on in them places was unreal. But people never talked about it.
Strip footings!
Sold for guide price 15k, one bid.
Possibly adjoining land owner.
If you are the only bidder, why bid the guide price? Surely you'd start way lower.
Strange all right, maybe minimum bid?
bidding was to finish at 1:00 pm , bid went in at 9:30am and sat there, no further action until 1pm,then hammer down.
I'd have waited till 12:55 to bid.
Probably was the reserve price.
My guess is that the original owner has bought it back of the bank who might have been selling it when the owner defaulted on the mortgage and couldn't complete the build.
He may also have owned the adjacent land including the right of way that allowed access to the site. Site or land would be no use to anyone else if you weren't allowed access it.

If I controlled access to it, there's no way I'd bid €15k for it. I'd bid €1k and see what happens. Many of these properties who don't achieve their reserve are sold after the auction.
Bloody hell. Did a human actually write this advert?
"notorious for its security, onsite manager and the continuous upkeep"
"evidently both roads uphold the demand of being an address to call home"
Is that Portlaoise prison?
What's wrong with the writing? The person is just mentioning it has good security and well kept grounds. Nothing worse than moving into a so called apartment that is nothing more than a glorified flat which there are many of in this country.
"Notorious" is a very odd choice of word!!
Notorious is not a ‘positive’ adjective.
Notorious means pretty much known about in a negative way.
'which evidently both roads uphold the demand of being an address to call home', is a garbage sentence that does not mean anything. And as for 'notorious' in that context, it is not what the writer meant at all, as HH said.
