Property Description

Development Opportunity with Derelict House on Main Street, Tulla, Co. Clare

Anthony McGann of Keller Williams is delighted to bring to the market this centrally located development opportunity, comprising a site extending to approximately 0.25 acres / 0.10 hectares, together with a small derelict house positioned directly onto Main Street in the heart of Tulla, Co. Clare.

Occupying a prominent and highly accessible town-centre position, the property offers an exciting opportunity for developers, investors, business owners and owner-occupiers seeking a well-located site within one of East Clare’s principal service towns.

The existing house provides an opportunity for a purchaser to restore and bring a vacant or derelict property back into use. Its Main Street frontage, combined with the land to the rear, may also offer potential for a wider residential, commercial or mixed-use development, subject to planning permission and confirmation of the applicable zoning.

Possible future uses may include:

Refurbishment of the existing house as a private residence
Long-term residential rental accommodation
Retail or commercial premises
Offices or professional services
Additional residential development
Mixed-use development
A scheme incorporating commercial accommodation at ground-floor level with residential accommodation above
Redevelopment incorporating the existing Main Street frontage

Tulla is an established and growing town offering a broad range of shops, schools, sporting facilities, community services and local amenities. The Clare County Development Plan recognises Tulla as an important local service centre and supports the continued development of commercial and retail activity within the town centre.

The property’s Main Street location provides excellent visibility and convenient access to the town’s existing services and amenities. Its central position and development potential make it an attractive proposition for those seeking an opportunity capable of serving both Tulla and its wider rural hinterland.

All proposed uses are subject to planning permission, confirmation of zoning and any necessary approvals from Clare County Council.
