King TV, Green Street, Callan, Ireland

REA Grace are delighted to present this substantial mixed-use premises, superbly positioned in the heart of Callan, on Green Street, the townâ??s principal commercial thoroughfare. Callan is conveniently located approximately 10 miles from Kilkenny City, making this an interesting opportunity for purchasers seeking a prominent town-centre property with both commercial and residential potential.
The property comprises a ground-floor retail premises with extensive residential accommodation above and to the rear, together with a small garden area and rear access. The building is a Protected Structure and, while requiring substantial renovation and refurbishment, offers considerable potential for restoration and future use, subject to the necessary planning and statutory requirements.
The retail element benefits from a prominent street frontage with a central retail entrance and large display windows to either side. The principal shop area measures approximately 5.0m x 7.8m and includes a counter area. To the rear is a further section measuring approximately 2.7m x 2.3m, together with a WC and wash-hand basin. A separate rear room, measuring approximately 2.3m x 3.6m, has a tiled floor and large workbench.
A separate residential entrance directly from Green Street leads to a long hallway serving the remainder of the property. The original staircase to the upper floors has been removed and consequently there is currently no access to the first and second-floor accommodation. These floors previously formed part of the residential accommodation and have not been occupied for many years.
To the rear of the ground floor is additional accommodation which appears to have formerly comprised a living room/kitchen area, bedroom and, within a further single-storey section, a bathroom and additional room. This entire section is presently in very poor condition and requires total renovation.
Externally, there is a small garden/yard area to the side of the property, with access available from the lane to the rear.
The retail premises has reportedly not traded for approximately four to five years, while the residential accommodation has remained unoccupied for a considerably longer period. Given the property's prolonged vacancy and protected status, it may have potential to qualify for relevant local authority vacant-property and/or refurbishment grant schemes, subject entirely to the purchaser and property meeting the applicable eligibility criteria and obtaining approval from the relevant authorities.

Overall, this is a substantial and highly prominent property in the very centre of Callan, offering an excellent opportunity to renovate and reinstate an important town-centre building for a combination of commercial and residential use. Its location on the town's main street, together with its proximity to Kilkenny City, approximately 10 miles away, makes it particularly worthy of consideration for an owner-occupier, investor or redevelopment purchaser.

Please note: The property requires extensive refurbishment throughout. Any future use, alteration, subdivision or development will be subject to the appropriate planning, conservation and other statutory requirements. Any reference to grants is indicative only and prospective purchasers should independently confirm eligibility and availability with the relevant authorities.
