The property is located at Market Square in the town centre of Kildare. Kildare Town has its origins as a monastic settlement, dating back to the 5th century and evolved from its medieval past into a market town owing to its location and trade routes. The population of the Kildare was 10,302 according to the latest 2022 census of population. Kildare is situated 52 kilometres southwest of Dublin and is located adjacent to the north of the M7 motorway halfway between Monasterevin and Newbridge (An Droichead Nua) and is located at the fringe of The Curragh. Other neighbouring towns include Athy (19km away) and Naas (18km away). The town also has connections by rail to Cork, Dublin, Limerick and Waterford lines. The town centre core has a variety of uses which include residential and commercial uses. These uses occupy mostly terraced buildings which face onto the Market Square. This is also the case for the buildings occupied on Claregate Street and Bride Street. Market Square is located in the town centre of Kildare Town, Co. Kildare. It is crossed diagonally by Bride Street in an east / southwest manner and bound by the Dublin Road (R446) to the south. St Brigid’s Cathedral is located immediately to the northwest of the site. The location of the Square is central to the town, with the Square acting as its historic and present day focal point for a range of community and commercial activities and events. Market square hosts the weekly town market. Surrounding uses are typical of town centres, with commercial services, the Heritage Centre and Tourist Office, comparison and convenience shops, restaurants, cafés and pubs, takeaways. Some buildings have different upper floor uses with limited residential accommodation and professional services such as solicitors. The Kildare train station is located around 650m north of the Square and Kildare Tourist Outlet Village is located around 1.5 km south of the subject site. The Dublin Road (R445) which bounds the Square to the south, links the town to Newbridge, the Curragh and the M7 to the east and to Monasterevin to the west. Prior to the opening of the M7, this road was a major axis between Dublin and Portlaoise. Bride Street (R415) splits the Square into two parts. It links Kildare town to the Rathbride townland to the north and to Nurney village to the south. Most the buildings around the square itself date from the second half of the 18th century and the 19th century, meaning Market Square has retained much of its character.
