Friars Gate, Kinsale, Co. Cork

8 Friars Gate is an old world 3-bedroom detached (with double garage) two-story property in need of total restoration located within very short walking distance of Kinsale town centre. Excellent site development opportunity. Massive potential.

The property requires immediate care and attention by someone who has experience in restoring old buildings. The property is currently uninhabitable and has fallen into disuse. The property would suite a developer or some wanting a major project, unfortunately that property was not well maintained over the years and will require full and complete restoration or perhaps complete reconstruction

There was once an adjoining similar property which was turned into double car garage with galvanized flat roof which has also fallen into disuse and will also require full and complete restoration or perhaps complete reconstruction as well.
