The subject property has traded successfully as a guest house for several years and has established Bed and Breakfast use. The property has been refurbished and extended over the years to provide a mix of different modern bedroom types, from single bedrooms, twin bedrooms, double bedrooms to spacious family rooms, bright and spacious dormer bedrooms with roof lights … all of which are ensuite. These 3 period red brick properties have feature bay windows over 2 floors overlooking enclosed landscaped gardens facing onto the Drumcondra Road with a pedestrian walkway, cycleway and quality bus corridor, bus shelter and aircoach route to Dublin airport located directly outside the property. All three properties are interconnected providing excellent access to the 2 kitchens, shared dining room facilities and 2 reception rooms on the ground floor as well as providing additional stairway access and fire escape routes to the 3 front entrances and rear car park. Location The properties occupy a very prominent location on the west side of Upper Drumcondra Road close to the junction of Home Farm Road and less than 200 meters from the Dublin Skylon Hotel. This busy thoroughfare is surrounded by a terrace of thriving shops, a Tesco and Lidl supermarket, a host of cafes, bars, restaurants, offices and the popular Skylon Hotel. Several of Ireland’s most prestigious educational institutions are within walking distance. The Mater Dei Centre, All Hallows Campus, St Patrick’s College of Education, all three associated with the nearby Dublin City University. This sought after location enjoys a very busy footfall and is at the heart of a large well established, densely populated, residential neighbourhood. In addition to local medical staff we understand that DCU has grown in size since 1980 to just under 17,000 students and approx. 1,800 staff in their Drumcondra and Collins Avenue Campus. These growing numbers have created strong demand for rental accommodation in the area with increased footfall and steady spin off business for the adjoining cafes, shops, bars and residential rental properties in Drumcondra Some of the other adjoining occupiers include FLYEfit gym, Mace, Corrigans butchers, The Ivy House, Corvo Italian restaurant, Base pizza, Grafton Barbe, Ultimate Coffee and Lloyds Pharmacy. The subject property is conveniently located less than 2.5 kilometers from Dublin City Centre and O’Connell Street Upper with an excellent public transport network on the doorstep. Drumcondra Road is one of the busiest routes into Dublin city. The Quality Bus Corridor (QBC) provides more than 10 bus routes at the bus stop only meters from the property with very regular aircoach service to Dublin airport. There is a bicycle lane located directly outside the property providing safe access to the city centre for cyclists as well as a Quality Bus Route corridor with several bus routes that link Drumcondra with the city centre, north suburbs and Dublin airport. The property is also a short walking distance of 1 kilometer from the Drumcondra Train Station, which serves the Maynooth Train line and west Dublin suburbs to Spencer Dock in the IFSC. The location is close to Tolka Park, Croke Park, Public parks and the National Botanic Gardens. The Irish Financial Services Centre, East Point Business Park, Temple Street Children's Hospital, Beaumont and The Mater Hospitals, DCU and Trinity Universities, the M1 and M50 motorways.
