DESCRIPTION

Lefroy House, which was formerly the Seamen's Institute, provides a mix of good quality refurbished self-contained apartments and bedrooms, recreational spaces, dining area and offices across 36 rooms plus 11 shower rooms and Ladies and Gents WC facilities. In total the building extends to 831sq.m. (8,945 sq.ft.) Gross Internal Area. Following the 1916 Rising, the building was rebuilt to a very high standard by renowned builders G&T Crampton and comprises an end-of-terrace five-bay four-storey over raised basement. The property has the benefit of a double gated delivery access from Harbour Court with 1 car space.

Constructed of brick and stone to the designs of William Mitchell & Son, and extended in 1948, with central breakfront, entrance portico and three-bay east side elevation with entrance porch. The subject building is a protected structure under the Dublin City Councils Development Plan and was formerly in use as the Seaman's Institute. It is described by the NIAH as being a "well-composed building articulated by neoclassical masonry detailing and a sense of symmetry provided by the fenestration pattern and central breakfront."

It was recently refurbished and is ready for occupation and income generation, while also offering future potential for other uses such as tourism and commercial (subject to planning permission). In Dublin, The Salvation Army operates six residential centres (Lifehouses) for single adults, couples and families. These centres provide more than 120,000 bed-nights a year to people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The capital released from the sale of Lefroy House, will assist The Salvation Army in continuing to provide these essential services.
