    All for 55k. How much is the digger worth?

    How did they get planning permission for that?

    Part of me likes it though !

    Wouldn't have needed planning since there was an existing house on it I suppose?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,782 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    Its on half an acre with only a right of way through a forest. Its almost impossible to imagine how remote it is.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,485 ✭✭✭KevRossi


    This is the entrance to that house, taken in 2011 and they've put some sort of laneway in since then. https://www.google.com/maps/@54.1729295,-8.2319881,3a,75y,241h,86.14t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s1JiKKfQeQVMHZGtQLQC3YA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

    I wouldn't touch it. Surrounded by forest. No light, no birds, no noise. Then when they cut it all down you're exposed to the elements, you're totally at the mercy of whoever owns that forestry. Very wet land too.

    I know the area a bit as I often cycled over the Arigna's. There's a fair few untarred roads up there, just gravel. Mad spot alright.

    The ad reads like that, he has got a half renovated cottage, a pick up truck, a 3 ton digger, a shipping container and a gaggle of cars and jeeps for sale.

    Its kind of like the opening monologue of a low budget Irish movie where the lead actor is down on his luck but eventually wins big in Vegas and covers his losses from Leitrim.

    If some of the landlords here are anything to go by, we’ll have people sub-dividing a couple of feet at the end of their granny’s grave, and offer vertical burials.

    “We are delighted to offer this 0.5x1 metre burial meadow in an exclusive cemetery that people are literally dying to get into. Would suit an anorexic dwarf or professional contortionist.”

    It's gone nuts. Nothing wrong with the property below, I've mentioned it to illustrate a point:

    https://www.daft.ie/for-rent/apartment-the-new-hardwicke-church-street-dublin-7/3424989

    I rented a one bedroom apartment in the same complex with my missus about 10 years ago for €700pm. Things have gotten out of hand. I don't know how anyone on a regular wage who has to rent is supposed to manage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,782 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    Those grand houses are lovely to look at and admire, but I would not feel the least desire to live in one of them. I live rural so I have a decent sized house for a price you would not get an apartment in Dublin, and its perfect size, feels like my kind of scale.

    How many multi-millionaires, or even billionaires live in a four bed bungalow on a half acre (or a three bed semi-d) though? If you have a very large pot of cash, then you live in a house/home that reflects that. Their perspective is very different to the average working Joe. Even when they 'downsize' it's to a spacious and very well appointed "cottage" or penthouse apartment.

    The world would be a boring place if we all shred the same modest outlook.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,782 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    I wouldn't argue with that at all, and if anyone wants to live in a huge place, that's up to them provided they can afford it. Those elegant rooms don't, for me. invite you to sit and relax, or do anything beyond maybe read a book. And to me they take your independence away - you could not maintain one of them without a staff of people to help, which puts a whole different complexion on them. I have lived in a house with staff and tbh I would rather do my own thing.

    I was thinking g the same, sure these lads would need to employ a team of people to keep the place ticking over as well. It would be more like staying in a private hotel. I can't see the collisons breaking out the Dyson to clean abbeyleix Manor anyway

    Same here. I like looking at them, but then start thinking about the cleaning and the upkeep. But I guess if I could buy one in the first place, I would have staff! :D

    It's all fine and dandy when you have a family at home but then they fly the nest and you and your OH (if you have held onto them too!) suddenly have all this unnecessary extra room to rattle around in.
    I see it with my home place too.

    I bought a house in 2009 and the car in the driveway was thrown in. Seriously.

    Bare plywood kitchen is tacky enough (thank you Dermot Bannon) but it looks like whoever did it managed to take any cosyness out of it whatsoever.

    What made me want to post it here was the bathroom, though... (pic 8). You have to walk through the shower to get to the toilet..?


    https://www.daft.ie/for-sale/terraced-house-6-windmill-road-drogheda-co-louth/3431805


    The asking is also €87k higher than this, 3 doors down in the same terrace..

    https://www.daft.ie/for-sale/bungalow-3-windmill-road-drogheda-co-louth/2756289


    I have been following Drogheda property for a long time, and I can't see a butchered house on that road selling for 225k, current madness or not.


    EDIT: Also, first bedroom only has the door in and out.. is that a fire safety thing? or is that allowed? I always thought bedrooms had to have a window big enough to get out of? or am I mistaken? (the bedroom is in the video if you scroll down the page).

    The railway line is still active including freight at night and runs right by it, they've done a good job not having it in the pics!

    There was a large goods setup here hence the buildings and signal box away from the main line.

    There's an awful lot of work needed on the cheaper house and you wouldn't likely have any change out of €87k if you went about doing the work.

    That is bizarre! Is the unfinished mezzanine the bedroom?

    I don't understand the industrial floor covering, I presume it's industrial lino. Still, it would suit a single person with very few possessions and a healthy salary who wanted to be near town.

    The old outdoor loo would be handy for the lawnmower. :pac:

    The "lean-to" is the bedroom.

    A "lean to" is generally speaking an additional, often ramshackle structure that is built onto the back wall of a house and has a roof whose rafters lean against that wall. I've seen them before on this type of old cottage, generally used for storage or as a sun room.

    In this case however, it's the main bedroom, which was why I was highlighting it :) . Why would having a bedroom in a lean-to be a bad idea? Well firstly the awkward layout, where you'd have to walk through the bedroom to access the bathroom or backyard. Also the lack of privacy where the kitchen window looks straight into the bedroom. However, the main issue is the thin, plastic roof, wooden exterior wall and the complete lack of any sort of central heating :)
