Colleran Auctioneers is pleased to present No 8 St Bridget's Place, Galway, a four bedroom terraced property offering a rare opportunity to purchase a substantial home with a large front garden and rear yard, less than a five-minute walk from Eyre Square.
Guiding at €340,000, this property is certain to attract interest from builders, investors and purchasers with the vision to transform an older city centre home and unlock its considerable potential.
Location has always been one of the most important considerations when purchasing property, and few locations offer the convenience of St Bridget's Place. Situated just a short stroll from Eyre Square, the property enjoys immediate access to everything Galway city centre has to offer. Shops, restaurants, cafés, entertainment, public transport and many of Galway's principal employment centres are all within easy walking distance.
However, what makes No 8 particularly interesting is that, despite its central location, it also benefits from a front garden and a private rear yard with separate rear access. Outdoor space is always a welcome feature in a city centre property, and the combination of a front garden and rear access adds considerably to the possibilities this home presents.
The house itself extends to approximately 1,108 sq. ft. and currently provides four-bedroom accommodation over two floors. While it requires comprehensive modernisation, its existing layout and generous proportions offer an excellent starting point for anyone considering a renovation project.
On entering the house, an entrance hall leads to a sitting room with a solid fuel stove. To the rear is a spacious kitchen and dining room, complete with an open fireplace and direct access to the rear yard. Also on the ground floor is a bedroom, offering flexibility for future use depending on the requirements of the new owner. Upstairs there are three further bedrooms and a bathroom. The accommodation provides an opportunity to reconfigure and modernise the interior, creating a contemporary home while retaining the advantages of its established city centre setting.
For a builder or experienced renovator, No 8 St Bridget's Place presents an interesting project. The property requires substantial investment, but that is also where the opportunity lies. A carefully planned refurbishment could dramatically improve the accommodation, energy efficiency and overall appeal of the house, allowing a purchaser to add considerable value.
For investors, the attraction is equally clear. A four-bedroom property within walking distance of Eyre Square, Galway's main bus and rail stations and the city's many amenities offers an appealing central location. Properties requiring this level of modernisation are not for everyone, but for buyers with experience, imagination and a realistic refurbishment budget, they can present opportunities that are difficult to find in more conventional house purchases.
According to auctioneer Don Colleran, "What makes No 8 St Bridget's Place particularly interesting is its location and the opportunity it presents. You are less than five minutes' walk from Eyre Square, yet you have a substantial four-bedroom property with a large front garden and rear yard. There is no disguising the fact that the house requires significant work, but for a builder or investor who recognises the potential, this is an opportunity to add real value in a very central Galway location. I would strongly recommend viewing the property to appreciate both the accommodation and the possibilities it offers."
