    On the way into Clonmel from the Waterford side, a few kilometers from the town centre (possibly between Kilheffernan/Moangarrif roundabouts)
    On the right is a big abandoned house just after a huge entrance to a house/castle which is not visible from the main road.

    Anyone know what the deal is with the abandoned house? Looks a right job, couldnt be more than 30 years old

    as Hazy64 said, The house is built in a hole. next time you pass you will notice that the level of the road is higher than the house.

    That house was built as a B+B. The first winter after it was completed it flooded so the guy who built it is sueing an Bord Pleanala for giving him planning permission.

    Disclaimer.... thats what I heard anyway ;)

    The house was sold about 8-10 years ago and bought by a property developer, who had plans for a car showroom and hostel/hotel type development planned, however he ran into trouble with the local authority, because he imported a load of fill into the site to build up the levels before the decision was due.

    Don't think so. There wasn't anyone living in the thing long enough t be killed I'd say. I remember the summer it was built the the floods that came the following spring that eventually shut it down.

    Hmm, the river Anner by any chance? I think that's the one that flows down by the side of the road between Medite and Bulmers orchards.

    Just back from Ireland and stopped by the house to get a closer look as I hadn't seen it in years. Looks a lot more shabby then it used to and the west gable-end is starting to crack.
