As I mentioned, I gave my boys for Christmas pieces of paper that announce they are lords of Sealand and Scotland. What am I expecting in return? Well, this wouldn’t hurt: Inside the £18million mansion no one wants that takes 30 minutes to walk through:
An 18th Century mansion is up for sale at a guide price of £18m and is so big it takes 30 minutes to walk through.
The Irish estate includes part of ancient woodland and is made up of 1,050 acres.
The abbey was set up by a group of monks back in the mid-12th century, in Co Laois, and is the most expensive property publicly listed in the Republic of Ireland right now.

The mansion was built by James Wyatt in 1773, and includes nine bedrooms, 10 bathrooms as well as 10 lodges and cottages on the grounds.
Abbey Leix comprises of 26,910 square feet of private estate, ancient woodland and even the country’s oldest oak tree.
The stunning country house is positioned within a private estate and frontage to the River Nore.
It takes a full half-hour to tour the three-storey mansion alone, and extra to walk around the immediate grounds.
The house is filled with classic Irish furniture an art, which some is available to acquire if new owners want to buy them.
Forget the furniture; what’s the serf tenant situation? Do I have people to work the land for me, or will I have to raid Scotland on my own?
Wait a minute:
The original library was replaced with the new state dining room but a smaller library remains in its place.
Well, never mind then. I’ll have to spend my thirty dollars somewhere else.
Wait a minute: I have just been handed a note. Apparently, the exchange rate is not $30 to £18,000,000. I must have confused it with Euros. Perhaps I should pay more attention to exchange rates before I direct my real estate professional to make an offer next time. It will prevent international incidents like that one in the future, and I might not get officially banned from St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in the future and being put on the Guinness No-Buy list. Consider this my mealy-worded apology that does not work anyway and only serves to make me look weak. Thank you, that is all.
