Not sure if this has featured here before but just stumbled on it.. Entire backgarden features a fenced tennis court. Such an odd feature to encompass an entire garden. https://www.myhome.ie/residential/brochure/corlanty-13-college-park-castleknock-dublin-15-county-dublin/4834289
With Castleknock Tennis Club a few minutes drive away
it's confusing - it mentions grounds of 1.7ac and that most of the 100 acre 'island' is woodland, but does not explicitly state that's included. if it was 10k per acre for land, that'd value the woodland at a million euro.
notions 😄
I don't think it is confusing. They are selling the house with 1.7ac and the woodland is not part of the sale. The woodland is very unlikely to be something anyone can cut down as is doesn't look like a planned forest for commercial sale
Yes, it's been here before - I'm not surprised it hasn't sold.
When you order your interior decoration from temu.

Wow. That's tasteless.
(eta - I'm not referring to the decor.)
I don't dislike it - and maybe the sellers are Chinese.
That'll be the Yin Dynasty!
Not sure if this has been posted before…..too many pages to trawl back through 😏
The architects remit on this celtic tiger monstrosity was probably "make sure there are plenty of curved walls and ceilings!"
Glasscloon, Coolderry, Co. Offaly, E53YN40 is for sale on Daft.ie
That has made more than one appearance here before.
Grand bunch of lads.
the owner was the architect, he had some idea on pagan architecture or something hence the corners
No risk of putting a tennis court there
Doesn't look in great condition with that hole in the roof.
It is a wonderful convertible structure to enjoy brightness inside.
At least the neighbours would be quiet.
Not sure that he was the owner, possibly. But all his designs follow that bio-architectural style.
That's the one bio architectural, one of the articles way back on the thread had it listed as the owners were the architects
I think the article muddled it a bit. It was a “dream home” from that architect rather than his dream home.
It was an artists home, but he spent too much, never finished it and it sat unoccupied in a legal battle for years. A house flipper type bought it and finished it off and stuck it back on the market (plus a few hundred K).
Does the Ford Fiesta come with it?

To be fair, it looks quite dark and uninviting inside, that clearly helps let more light in.
Just as an aside, look at the windows of the two houses in the last image. The one with the embedded car has windows that are flat with the face of the building, the next house has recessed windows like windows in Ireland. Even though I grew up with the 'flat' style I find them very unattractive, they make the house look cheap somehow and rather flimsy. These and the standard style of building commercial premises, again, very flat looking and cheap, have disimproved many English towns, especially in the midlands.
Christ, that's grim.
Yes, no depth. The entire problem with plastic windows, and storm casement windows in general, is the lack of depth, and putting them on the face of the structure makes it worse.
If you look more closely at the older house on the right, it still has a wooden sash window to the right of the plastic one, which adds more depth again.
The exterior of the house next door is much more appealing to me than the redbrick (even with the limited view).
Makes you wonder who built that redbrick next door, as they look totally out of place side by side.
It's been taken down.
Lots of issues with that house, and not just the obvious one of the car embedded in the wall!
Not sure what bit you find confusing. The site is 1.7acres. The value of the woodland/rest of island is much more than a million euro. That's really relevant to the house sale. The island is not included.
A before-and-after example:
