Description
A Rare Opportunity in the Heart of Castleisland Griffins, 70 Main Street – A Property with History, Character & Potential A distinguished three-storey property dating back to the 1800’s, perfectly positioned on Main Street, right in the heart of Castleisland town. This iconic building has witnessed generations of local life and trade — from its days as a bustling shop to its time as a cherished family home. Today, it presents a truly unique opportunity for a new owner to restore and reimagine a landmark full of heritage and potential. Property Overview Behind its traditional façade, Griffins offers generous and versatile accommodation laid out over three floors. The property briefly comprises: Ground Floor: Entrance Hall, Bedroom En-Suite (formerly a shop space), Kitchen incorporating a staircase, and an open-plan Dining/Living Room with access to the rear. First Floor: Three Bedrooms together with a Bathroom/Shower Room/WC Second Floor: Two further Bedrooms — ideal for additional accommodation, a home office, or creative space. Throughout the property, many original period features have been beautifully retained, adding to the unique charm and character that can only be found in a building of this era. While the property would benefit from a comprehensive programme of modernisation and refurbishment, it offers an exciting blank canvas for those with vision and appreciation for heritage. With careful investment, Griffins could once again become a remarkable family home, boutique guesthouse, or mixed-use property in a prime town-centre location. 70 Main Street is a Protected Structure (Listed Building) under the Planning and Development Act 2000. This designation recognises the property’s architectural and historical importance and ensures its character and distinctive features are preserved. Any works that might affect the building’s exterior or interior character—such as alterations, extensions, or demolitions— may require planning permission from the local authority. One of the standout features of this property is its large rear Garden extending to 0.092 acres, a rare find in a Main Street setting. Accessed via Spout Lane, this private location (end of cul de sac) offers ample space for parking, a potential patio area, or a beautiful garden retreat away from passing traffic — perfect for outdoor living or future development (subject to planning). Castleisland is a busy market town known for its strong community spirit, excellent amenities, and close proximity to Tralee, Killarney, and Kerry Airport. Positioned on Main Street, Griffins enjoys prime visibility and accessibility, making it ideal or residential, investment, or commercial potential. Viewing is strictly by appointment.
