looks very salubrious for place the look like built in 70’s, someone famous live here?
If I am not mistaken this was linked to a good while back. I think it may have fallen in price somewhat and looks a little worse for ware than I remember.
I woudl actually say a lot of house built circa late 60’s maybe more early mid 70’s had a bit of balls compared with the rubbish that went up across McMansion land.
Local amenity doesn’t seem to have always applied back then, then again everyones hair was longer too…

Was that Patrick Russell’s house? I can’t find a link to confirm it.

It was built by the McGrattans (record producer / restauranteur) Nice place in it’s day, multi-car garage that housed the roller, porsche 944 and a few other goodies. as you can see from the pictures, it’s falling apart and in complete disrepair.
It was an American design

Thanks Taij. So no connection to Patrick Russell? I had a good search and couldn’t find anything.

It was sold by the McGrattans in the mid - late 90’s, then resold, yet it was bought by a barrister ultimately, but I can’t confirm the name.

Interesting. There’s definitely a story to be told about that place.
I’ve bookmarked this, will do nicely when my porn & gambling empire takes off.
it’s in the right area anyway:
Russell, originally of Steelstown, Rathcoole, Co Dublin, but who has had papers filed to him at five different addresses unsuccessfully by the musicians’ legal team, was jailed in the High Court in July 2007 after he had ‘‘thumbed his nose’’ at contractual obligations and orders of the court in conduct described by the judge as “quite disgraceful”.
His lifestyle certainly denoted achievement – he lived in a €2m home in Steelstown, Co. Dublin – a lavish pile on eight acres of land, with a swimming pool, ballroom and six stables.

Dunno if there will be a sauna where he will eventually end up, but it sure will be bloody hot.

an American buddy had one of those outdoor hot tubs; got rid of it as he described it as a “money incinerator” - and he was quite well off
Did a bit of Googling this morning…courtsni.gov.uk/en-GB/Judicial%20Decisions/PublishedByYear/Documents/2008/2008%20NIQB%20111/j_j_MOR7290Final.htm
[4] Shortly after being served with the Order the first named defendant retained the services of Patrick Russell who apparently practises as "Prudentus International Corporate Lawyers” or “Emerald Consulting International” from offices in the Republic of Ireland. It is not clear what if any professional or other qualifications possessed by Mr Russell made him suitable for this kind of advisory work.
[5] Despite the terms of the Interim Receiving Order Mr Russell requested payment for the very modest services provided by him. The request was made orally without any presentation of an invoice or a statement scheduling the work completed. No application was made for an exclusion order in respect of these payments.
[10] The first named defendant contends that he was led into error by Mr Russell and I accept on the material before me that Mr Russell purported to provide legal services but in fact encouraged the first named defendant and the second named defendant to breach the Order.
Patrick Russell is shown as CEO of Prudentus, Manchester on LinkedIn but no further info is available.
