Really? I didn't measure it but it looked well outside.
Its 3 Kilometers. Half an hour walk.
I went to the school in front of the house. Doesn't take that long.
Seems that was added later as they needed retention. The planning on it certainly was't with out issue. It certainly is over sized for a half acre site needing a septic tank
Google says 35 mins
So you are going to listen to google over someone who lives in the area and walked it many times. If you lived there you would walk through the school grounds out the main gate be at the Tesco entrance in 10 mins. Maybe 15 to the square in the centre of town also the town hall is not the centre of Claremorris town.
Ok, we'll split the difference , 20 mins?
Anyway, the planning was a mess,
The neighbour was not happy , built in wrong place, , ridge too high, planning extended, so septic tank not compliant etc. etc
While we are on the topic of photoshoped photos, am I right thinking that the fire in the the photos in the fireplace is added in?

^^That fire definitely looks photoshopped but I'm sure many do light it when the estate agent is taking photos.
100% photoshopped - you can see it is a mirror image between the two photos.
Also, there is nothing in that fire basket to burn, and no extra light around the fire...
The top of one of the licks of flame going in front of the fireplace was the giveaway..
Ah lads, they always photoshop the fire being light. Imagine having to wait around until the fire got going just right for a quick photo?!
The AE (presumably) employed someone to go out and take photos and sort them to put up on Daft and the Oats Breheny site instead of the consistently pretty poor photos they had been using. So this was their 'trying too hard' demo of how good their photographic and photoshop skills are. Probably be the first and last, presumably they will find a halfway solution, lets just hope they leave the wide angle lens at home.
When you're ashamed of your mock Tudor fetish and hide it from the world...
One of those bedrooms reminded me of chocolate lime sweets.
Apart from the inside, the outside is also a bit strange. Massive graveled parking area. No garden per se, just a big lawn.
A big lawn with a swimming pool parked in the middle of it. Or is it a jacuzzi?
An over the ground swimming pool apparently, doesn't say whether its for humans or ducks going by the size of it 😋
I'd love to see how somebody would renovate/decorate it
It looks very odd. You could park 40 cars there. There seems to be a business operating from next door - I wonder if the owners own both. The gravelled area does look like it was meant to be a carpark at one stage.
That house has so many glaringly clashing styles to it, it's giving me a headache just looking through the pictures!
I'm seriously envious of the hot tub in the garden though!
Was it a club house for a pitch n put in a past life?
Somerville motors.
Not surprising they didn't show the front of the house;
Not a pretty house at all
What's the extra building/house? I didn't read the description so it may have been on there.
Given all the bedrooms come off a central hallway and appear to have ensuites, it lends itself to some kind of lodging accomodation originally perhaps thats been altered and upgraded over the years for a single occupancy.
why not
If you roll back on StreetView there's a sign in front advertising it as a B&B
It was previously painted white, looked a lot better for it
Pics 7, 8, 9 and 13 would seem to suggest that the house is designed to take horses upstairs and into stalls. They avoid spelling this out in the description but what else is going on. Wheelchair ramp? Its a bit massive for a wheelchair, and a lift would be safer. Any thoughts?
Wonder if the house being that old is subject to some sort of preservation order on the original fixtures?
Failing that, it's being used by some really fat americans to race each other on their mobility scooters.
I like the mobility scooter idea, the 'preserved' stalls don't look very much used alright.
