To the rear of the property there is a large, double-storey extension to the original building, containing the 16 vacant en-suite guest rooms/studios, all of which are equipped with their own WC and shower. There are also several ancillary rooms, which the selling agent says could possibly be converted into additional guest rooms or studios rooms. The property is not a protected structure, which provides the opportunity for refurbishment and or redevelopment subject to planning permission.
Rear access is via Orchard Lane, and it has a spacious rear yard with surface car parking for up to 10 vehicles.
Bryan Garry and Harry Byrne of QRE Real Estate Advisers say: “This sale is likely to attract significant interest given the opportunity for an incoming owner to add urgently needed residential units to the rental market at a time of heightened demand.”
