INVITING OFFERS IN EXCESS OF €395,000


Number 1 Carrigside is an end of terrace property in a terrace of six three-bay two-storey houses, built c.1880. Pitched slate roofs with red brick rendered walls with moulded render name plaque to central house (No. 3 ). Square-headed window openings to first and ground floors, timber sliding sash windows throughout. Square-headed door openings with over lights to various timber panelled and half-glazed timber doors. Wrought-iron pedestrian gates with red brick boundary walls, render coping and wrought-iron railings to front of site. The adjoining owners are all U.C.C. buildings housing many different administration faculties.

The terrace makes a substantial contribution to the character of College Road. Its symmetrical façade is enhanced by the retention of early features and materials such as the timber sash windows, cast-iron rainwater goods and continuous render mouldings. The boundary walls and gates add to its setting and context.

The location is across the road from U.C.C. which currently has 24,000 students of which 3,500 are international from over different 100 countries. U.C.C. employs a staff 3,200. The potential for a dynamic income property does not need to be stated with these kinds of figures on the doorstep.

While the property is currently in a poor state of repair and condition the potential is enormous. The property needs to be entirely renovated internally & externally giving the end user a “blank canvas” to reconfigure and adapt the property to lucrative high yielding investment or classy family home in a quite unique location.


The enclosed walled in garden to the rear of the property is highly valuable having long term development potential.

Laid out over 3 floors currently extending to 1,800sq ft (167.2 m2) with potential to extend (subject to planning permission) an additional 750 sq. ft being the enclose courtyard to the rear.

The property consists of

GF; hall, living room, family room, galley type kitchen/ Utility

FF; half landing return to Bathroom,3 bedrooms

2ndF; 1 large bedroom running the entire length of the house, back bedroom

We envisage that the finished product will incorporate a 7/8 ensuite bedroom with and open plan ground floor communal kitchen, dining, living area.

The return from the finished product will produce an extremely high yield.
