A receiver’s sale.

He had very grand plans for the house:

These works were costed at over a million. Still, a real trophy house that would be around 4,500 square feet after the building works for 2 million.

The good folks in Orwell Park must be a bit disappointed and the current asking prices are looking a bit high:

myhome.ie/residential/brochu … n-6/368950 - €3,900,000

myhome.ie/residential/brochu … n-6/405966 - €2,400,000

myhome.ie/residential/brochu … -6/1255684 - €1,700,000

The last house has an offer of €1,300,000 for months but the agent is not interested.

Some very high prices were achieved for houses in Orwell Park in the good times:
