About this property

The Land - The subject property has a site area that extends to about 5 acres and is prominently located in the heart of Bunratty Village. The site has independent access off the Old Bunratty Road and occupies a six-bedroom period style house that was built in the 1970's. It also benefits from mature trees and hedgerows on all aspects that provide a private and secluded setting.

Local information

The subject site is located in the heart of Bunratty village, just off the Old Bunratty Road which links to the M18, the main Limerick to Galway road.
The surrounding area is a mix of residential and commercial developments. The property is bound to the north by Dun Ri, an established residential scheme of 18 detached houses. Immediately to the west, work is well underway on a new residential scheme called Church Hill which comprises 41no. 3 and 4 bedroom detached and semi-detached houses. A short distance to the south/south east you will find the popular Bunratty Castle Hotel along with established traders such as The Creamery Bar & Restaurant, Blarney Woollen Mills, Durty Nelly's and Jilly & Joes Restaurant & Courtyard.

Additional information

The House - Sitting at the centre of the site is a six-bedroom period style house. The accommodation within the main house includes an entrance hallway, two reception rooms, two bathrooms, a WC, a larder, a large kitchen and four bedrooms. A self-contained secondary wing with independent access, comprising two bedrooms, bathroom, kitchenette and drawing room, extends from the main house.
Zoning - The Clare Development Plan 2023 - 2029 is significant in the context of this assessment, as it provides the planning framework which guides development in the area. The subject site is zoned "Existing Residential" in the development plan. The objective of this zoning is "to conserve and enhance the quality and character of the areas, to protect residential amenities and to allow for small scale infill development which is appropriate to the character and pattern of development in the immediate area and for uses that enhance existing residential communities".
Development Potential - Sustainable Residential Development and Compact Growth Guidelines 2024 (SRDCGG) designates Bunratty as a Large Village within the Metropolitan Area. The SRDCGG acknowledge that such settlements are small in scale with limited infrastructure and services provision. As a result, density should not generally fall below 25 dwellings per hectare which would yield a residential development scheme of about 50 houses.
Basis of Sale - The property is being offered for sale by Private Treaty.
Price - On application.
Title - Assumed Freehold.
