Property Description

HPS Real Estate are delighted to present this unique residential opportunity on Slipper Street, Gort, Co. Galway.

This distinctive property offers the opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored and reconstructed two-bedroom townhouse-style residence, combining the character of a historic Gort streetscape with a contemporary and practical internal layout.

The property is the subject of Full Planning Permission under Planning Reference 24/60597, granted by Galway County Council for the renovation and reconstruction of the existing derelict dwelling and connection to public services. The approved development extends to approximately 118 sq.m.

The property forms part of a historically significant streetscape, with the premises identified within the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH No. 30341024 – Gort Cavalry Barracks), making this an particularly interesting opportunity for purchasers seeking a home with genuine architectural character.


The Accommodation

The accommodation is thoughtfully laid out and spread across two floors, providing well-proportioned and comfortable living space throughout.

The property comprises two bedrooms, a bathroom, a spacious sitting room and a generous open-plan kitchen and dining area, offering a practical layout suited to modern living.

The design combines the character and charm of the existing property with a high-quality contemporary finish. Natural stone, painted timber windows, a hardwood entrance door and natural slate roofing complement the traditional appearance of the building, while the internal accommodation has been designed to provide a comfortable and modern home.

With its combination of traditional architectural features, quality finishes and well-planned accommodation, this is a particularly appealing opportunity to create a distinctive home in the heart of Gort.


Location

The property occupies a central position on Slipper Street in Gort, offering convenient access to the town's amenities and services.

Gort is an established market town in south County Galway, positioned along the M18 corridor between Galway and Ennis. The town provides a range of shops, cafés, restaurants, schools, recreational facilities and everyday amenities, while the surrounding area offers access to attractions including Coole Park, the Burren and the wider South Galway and North Clare region.

The location is particularly convenient for commuters, with Gort benefiting from access to the M18 motorway and rail and bus connections. Galway City, Ennis, Shannon and Limerick are all readily accessible from the town.


A Unique Opportunity

This property represents an unusual opportunity to acquire a characterful two-bedroom home in a historic town-centre setting, with the benefit of an existing planning permission and a clearly defined redevelopment scheme.

The approved design successfully combines the traditional architectural character of the existing property with modern residential accommodation, making it an attractive proposition for a purchaser looking for something different from a standard new-build or modern estate property.
