A historic property in the heart of Ballymore Eustace on the Kildare / Wicklow border

2 Chapel Street – comprising two adjoining 19th-century workers’ cottages with a large rear garden – will be offered for sale by auction on Wednesday, January 28th at 3pm in Lawlor’s Hotel, Naas, unless sold beforehand.

The cottages were originally built by the local woollen mill to house its workforce and, while neighbouring homes on the street have been restored over the years.

Number 2 now requires complete renovation following fire damage.

However, its substantial site and expansive garden provide significant scope for redevelopment into a standout village home.

The property enjoys a prime location just steps from the River Liffey, the village’s iconic six-arch bridge, and the popular river loop walk.

Ballymore Eustace has excellent transport links to Naas, Blessington, and Dublin, including the Local Link service and Dublin Bus Route 65.

Nearby attractions include Russborough House, Punchestown Racecourse, Golden Falls Lake and Blessington Sailing Club.

Selling agent Andrew Greenlee of Osborne Denieffe LLP, Naas, said the property presents “a unique opportunity to blend historic charm with contemporary living in a prime village setting”.

A detached L-shaped shed measuring 5.27m x 3.42m sits at the end of the garden, adding further potential to the site.
