Plans have been lodged to convert the former garda station in Ballymore Eustace into a three-bedroom family home. 

The building on Barrack Street, which was built in the late 1800s, is a protected structure under the Kildare County Development Plan. 

The garda station was closed down in 2009 due to Government cutbacks.

The proposed two-storey, three-bedroom house will have a floor area of 152 square metres.

A new entrance is planned for the site and approval is also sought to retain the existing railings and gate.
