Property Description

Nestled in the heart of Clifden, the capital of Connemara, this 5 bedroom derelict property on Railway View, Bridge Street offers a rare opportunity to restore a piece of local heritage and create your dream home or a boutique investment.

The property is in need of total renovation and refubishment. Originally built in circa 1930, on the ground floor is the sitting room, which faces out on to the street and is very bright, with the original fireplace. To the rear of the ground floor is a large kitchen/dining space along with a small room that could be used as a pantry space/utiltiy. There is a wc in the small extension. Upstairs are 5 bedrooms and what was once the primary bathroom. There is a yard and large garden to the back of the house.

The location of this property is unparalled-adjacent to Clifden’s vibrant town centre and walking distance to shops, shcools, restaurants and all local amenities. ‘Railway View’ garnered it’s name as it once looked out over the Clifden Railway Line which serviced the town in the late 1890s/early 1930s.
