Strand House, Strand Street, Tralee, Co. Kerry, V92N6XC

Daire McCann property is proud to bring Strand House to the market a distinguished detached five-bay, two-storey period residence dating from approximately 1810, occupying a substantial and remarkably private site in a highly convenient central Tralee location. The property adjoins the grounds of Bon Secours Hospital and presents a rare opportunity to acquire a residence of considerable architectural, historical and development interest. Rich in original character, the house features a hipped natural slate roof, rendered chimney stack, cast-iron rainwater goods, timber sliding-sash windows with stone sills and distinctive red-brick surrounds, and a traditional timber-panelled entrance door framed by a welcoming porch. A glasshouse stands to the left-hand side, while later extensions provide additional accommodation to the rear and right-hand side. The extensive grounds are enclosed by an attractive historic stone boundary wall with cast-metal entrance gates. The mature garden contains several established fruit trees, including apple and pear trees, and offers an exceptional sense of space and seclusion despite the property’s central location. A particularly unusual feature is the surviving historic air-raid shelter/bunker within the grounds. Strand House is a protected structure, and its listed features—including the historic boundary wall—contribute greatly to the property’s unique appeal and heritage character. Requiring refurbishment and modernisation, the property offers enormous potential. It could be restored as an impressive private family residence or, subject to all necessary planning permissions and conservation requirements, considered for offices, apartments or another suitable commercial or residential use. The generous site may also offer further development potential, subject to planning permission and the protection of the property’s important architectural features. A genuinely distinctive period property offering history, character, privacy and outstanding potential in the heart of Tralee. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the scale, setting and possibilities presented by Strand House. All proposed alterations, changes of use or development would be subject to the necessary planning permission and relevant conservation approvals.
