Clare Tipp Properties (www.c-t-p.ie) are delighted to offer for sale this superbly located property in the heart of Killaloe's busiest street. Kincora House is presently a well organised and operated Guest House. It is, however, a property which would lend itself to many and varied uses due to it's location, size, layout and private rear courtyard with views of the famous Killaloe historic Cathedral. The original building dates back to the 1800's and contained a forge in those days. The character has been lovingly retained with an almost "Victorian" atmosphere prevailing. The unusual quaint interior layout is further enhanced by the interior décor and antique furnishings presently in place. A sense of peace is immediate on entering the central foyer while the Reading room and Drawing Room envelope you in a timeless serenity. This is definitely a building with a difference. The fact that it is most certainly in the centre of all amenities and activities in this area is a major plus and the inner courtyard with its wide entrance gateway provides ample and secure parking and an area with a host of possibilities. This is about 1/8 of an acre and could have separate uses to the main building if required. In this courtyard there is an outbuilding sectioned into five units which is fully serviced with plumbing and wiring. There is a self-catering three bedroom house which is optional and which also leads out to this area. The remainder of the courtyard is sectioned into a barbeque area, gardens of mature trees and shrubs, smaller gardens of colourful flowers and a large gravelled area for secure parking.

Overall a fine town house with terrific potential to rent as a separate unit or to include as a self-catering family house.
The towns of Ballina and Killaloe are in the exciting times of major change at present. The refurbishment plans to be carried out within the next 18months on the canal in front of Derg House will mean many extra cruisers will have the mooring facilities to park there on a temporary basis (over week-ends, one week at a time etc.) This, added to the overall plans to update the entire area, on both the Tipperary and the Clare side around the bridge will have major positive effects on tourism generally.
Ballina town has in recent years more than tripled its population with most people choosing this lovely area and commuting to various towns and cities. Killaloe is now entering this process of residential change, with new developments commencing this year (120+ new homes), and more development lands in the process of receiving planning permission for new homes into 2007 and onwards. The entire area of Killaloe and Ballina are entering this new phase with enthusiasm and forward planning. The fact that it is well within the commuters circle to Limerick, Shannon, Ennis, Nenagh and the N.7 main Dublin-Limerick road will always add value to homes and businesses alike. This coupled with expansion of residential opportunities and tourism possibilities ensures its ongoing health as a solid investment proposition.
A major feature in the East Clare Development Plan for Killaloe is the growth for expansion of water related sports and activities, hill and countryside trekking, bird watching and Eco friendly tourism activities especially over the next 5 years with strong emphasis on providing quality accommodation and good food in the region.
