• Suits investors, developers, commercial users and project buyers

A rare red brick townhouse on Letterkenny’s Lower Main Street, with a large rear garden, rear access and a great deal of potential.

Red brick period houses are a rare find in Letterkenny, and No. 97 Lower Main Street is a fine example. This attractive three-storey, mid-terrace house has arched window heads, timber sliding sash windows and a gabled front dormer, and its brick façade stands out on one of the town’s busiest roads.

The accommodation extends to approximately 148 sq m (1,593 sq ft), with two reception rooms on the ground floor and six bedrooms over the two upper floors. The rooms are well proportioned and much of the original character remains, including decorative cornicing, a ceiling rose and feature fireplaces in three of the bedrooms. The house now needs full modernisation throughout, giving a buyer the chance to redesign it to suit their own plans.

Behind the house is a long garden with access from a rear lane. There is plenty of room to extend and to create off-street parking, both subject to planning permission. The site measures approximately 0.023 hectares (0.057 acres).

Set among established businesses on Lower Main Street, within walking distance of the town’s shops, cafés, restaurants and services, the property could be a large family home, a multi-unit residential investment or, subject to planning, commercial, office or mixed use.

Significant financial supports may be available to the right buyer. The property is expected to qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant. It sits within Letterkenny’s designated Living City Initiative area, which offers tax relief on qualifying refurbishment and conversion works. With a current BER of G, SEAI energy upgrade grants are also likely to be available. Together, these could greatly reduce the cost of bringing the house back to life.

For investors, developers or anyone looking for a project with real character in the centre of Letterkenny, this is an exceptional opportunity. 

Included in the Sale The sale includes all existing floor coverings, blinds / curtains and light fittings.
