Description
Vincent Walsh Auctioneers are delighted to present this derelict former shop and farm supply store, occupying a prominent corner site extending to approximately 0.32 acres (0.13 hectares), offering exceptional redevelopment potential subject to planning permission. The property requires complete refurbishment and is bordered by traditional stone boundary walls, adding to its character and charm. Included on the site are three stone-built storage sheds, providing additional potential for restoration or ancillary use. Ideally positioned in the heart of Claran, the property is just a two-minute walk from Claran National School, a local crèche, and St Mary's Church. The area also benefits from close proximity to Lough Corrib, renowned for its fishing and natural beauty. The property is conveniently located directly opposite Eircode H91 V60W. Situated just a five-minute drive from Headford and approximately 30 minutes from Galway City, this property represents an excellent opportunity for owner-occupiers, investors, or developers seeking a restoration or redevelopment project in a well-connected rural setting. It may qualify for several refurbishment and energy-efficiency grant schemes, including: * Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant * Derelict Property Grant * SEAI Energy Upgrade Grants This unique property is expected to attract broad interest, and viewings can be arranged flexibly through Vincent Walsh Auctioneers.
