Property Description

Prime 9-Acre Development Opportunity

Charlestown Road, Ballaghaderreen, Co. Roscommon

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a strategically located 9-acre development site on the Charlestown Road, Ballaghaderreen. The property is zoned Town Outer Core under the Roscommon County Development Plan, offering outstanding potential for a landmark residential or mixed-use development.

The site previously benefited from planning permission for 56 residential units, clearly demonstrating its suitability for housing development and providing developers with a strong planning precedent.

A Town Experiencing Sustained Growth

Ballaghaderreen has evolved into one of the most progressive towns in the west of Ireland. Since the 2022 Census, continued population growth means the town’s population is now estimated to be in the region of 2,700 people, reflecting increasing demand for housing, retail services and supporting infrastructure.

Its strategic position on the N5 national primary route, together with easy access to Ireland West Airport Knock, makes Ballaghaderreen an attractive location for families, commuters and businesses alike. The town enjoys excellent schools, healthcare facilities, sporting amenities, a vibrant community and a wide rural catchment, all contributing to its continued expansion.

Meeting the Demand for Housing

With a growing population and limited supply of new homes, Ballaghaderreen is experiencing a clear need for additional residential development. This site presents an ideal opportunity to deliver high-quality housing in a well-established location close to the town centre and essential services.

The previous planning approval for 56 dwellings highlights the site’s proven development potential, while its generous size also provides scope for a thoughtfully designed scheme incorporating open spaces and community amenities.

A Significant Retail Opportunity

In addition to its residential potential, the site offers a compelling opportunity for commercial development.

Despite its growing population and extensive hinterland, Ballaghaderreen continues to be served by only one major supermarket, creating a significant gap in the local retail market. A discount supermarket would provide increased consumer choice, reduce the need for residents to travel to neighbouring towns for everyday shopping, create local employment and support the town’s continued economic growth.

The Town Outer Core zoning provides flexibility to explore a mixed-use development incorporating both residential and commercial elements, subject to planning permission.
