Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Who'd live in a house like this? Part 2

It's literally a house and a half.
What I want to know is how do you get in behind the desk to work on your 4 computer screens? It's like a tech version of the kitchen we had the other day with the counter and units stretching right across the room.

Kind of reminds me of this desk

Pics 20-23 in this. To get to your bedroom, (which is a raised platform in another bedroom), you have to walk past the other bed in the room. You'd need a traffic light system in case your roommate is riding someone and they wanted a bit of privacy.

Drives me mad when there's no floor plan in the ad. I can't work out that layout at all. Is there 3 bedrooms all on top of each other. A bedroom within a bedroom within a bedroom?

The desk isn't flush to the wall on the left, looks like a foot of a gap between the end with the lamp on and the wall.
You can see it in more detail in the virtual tour here : https://view.ricohtours.com/b52cffc3-28a7-4a3e-9179-e7212cecd215/37bae8d5-51bd-421d-aac5-40627e4e11de
Failing that, this would be the other option

I think I’ll just take a chunk of land beside a road for myself: https://www.daft.ie/for-sale/detached-house-the-cottage-delwood-grove-castleknock-dublin-15/3261792
See here on street view: https://goo.gl/maps/7kh7LEnrJ5gp6UeP9
It's located close to Coolmine Station and just off Coolmine Road. But where does the estate agent list it? Why Castleknock of course :pac:
The land grab is so utterly blatant it's hilarious how they thought they'd get away with it.
"LENDNING INSTITUTIONS MAY NOT LEND ON THIS PROPERTY"
I don't know whether to laugh or cry at some of these ads.
Edit: Gregor Samsa has subsequently shown there was a house with that boundary since at least 1995, so it's a bit more complicated.

If you look at the old maps on the OSI mapviewer, you can see that the shape of the property matches an old boundary line in the corner of a piece of land from about a century back. Also, although the house is on Delwood Grove, the numbers skip it.
If I had to guess, at some point one piece of land was sold off and the seller kept a piece of land in the corner for themselves.
Later on, a developer came in and bought all the land around it, but this guy refused to sell his tiny plot, correctly reasoning that it would become worth a hell of a lot more with Coolmine built around it.
They may have built the cottage before the estate was built, or may have decided to built something afterwards and call it "The Cottage".
I imagine the title is a mess though. There was a lot of handshake agreements in decades past, people just draw rough lines and stuck up random fences ater exchanging money. If the walls are marking out the correct plot, I'd be amazed.
Lost the bulk of my post to a slip of the thumb but yes, a likely myriad of issues here.
The State has 30 years to claim back land though. If it's Council land, which is likely, then the boundary question is still open.
The plot is definitely unusual though, for a few reasons. It has a very McMansion vibe about it and it may be styled to look older than it is. Initially I thought it was built in the space of one block of 2 semi-D houses but I don't know. How anyone would get PP to do such a thing in the middle of an estate is not clear.
So it could be a real headache but the other side of it is that it's probably 20 years old by now and all the might of the State has not thus far turned itself to the question of a few square meters of land in Coolmine... in 10ish years you could be away with that land. Road frontage and all.
ETA: first post here, I think. Long time fan of this thread

If you are looking for a property, as well as Daft (or whatever) you need tabs open with Google Maps, the Land registry, Eircode finder, OSI maps including the historical overlays and flood maps, and the Planning Department of whichever bit of the country (and some of them are hopeless). Then you are ready for some serious research 0

There's been a structure there with the same boundary since at least 1995. However, at that time it seems to be smaller and set back on the site a bit more. The current structure turns up in the aerial photos in 2011/13, and at that time has a noticeably new roof.
