Description
Summary
Three-storey over basement building (formerly Dublin Sheriff's office) in the heart of Temple Bar with full planning permission for addition of a top (third) floor and conversion to a 13-bed guesthouse with dayroom and café on the ground floor.
Location
The property is in the heart of Temple Bar- Dublin's busiest tourist hotspot and famously popular food and beverage location.
Bounded by the Liffey to the north and Dame Street to the south, the Temple Bar area is a charming, pedestrianised web of cobbled streets. Known as Dublin's Cultural Quarter, the area is home to the Irish Photography Centre, The National Photographic Archive, the Ark Children's Cultural Centre the Irish Film Institute, the Button Factory, the Temple Bar Gallery and Studios, the Project Arts Centre, the Gaiety School of Acting and many other well known institutions.
Temple Bar boasts an enviable mix of cafés, bars, restaurants and nightclubs which combine to make the area the most popular destination for going out in Dublin.
Situation
Fownes Street runs from Temple Bar towards Dame Street. No. 13 is adjacent to the exciting, new Central Plaza development in the former Central Bank buildings and is just 35 metres from Temple Bar Square. It is hard to imagine a more central location for tourist accommodation in Dublin.
Description
No. 13 is a terraced, three-storey over basement office building (former Dublin City Sheriff's Office) with full planning permission for the addition of a third floor and conversion to a 13-bed guesthouse with ground floor cafe and day room. Opportunities to develop tourist accommodation in Temple Bar are rare, and we expect significant interest in the property.
