FOR SALE BY LIVE STREAM PROPERTY AUCTION, FRIDAY 17TH JULY AT 12.00 NOON.

You Must Pre-Register on our website by Thursday 16th July to bid.

Stamp Duty Exempt

A substantial detached two-storey former Garda station with adjoining residential accommodation, set on an elevated site extending to approximately 0.37 acres (0.15 hectares) in the heart of the picturesque village of Leighlinbridge.

Enjoying an easterly aspect with views over the River Barrow valley, this distinctive property offers exceptional potential to create an impressive family residence.

The property benefits from off-street parking, external storage buildings, a generous side garden and oil-fired central heating. While requiring modernisation, the home may qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, presenting an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a restoration project with character and charm.

Ideally positioned within walking distance of Leighlinbridge village centre, residents can enjoy easy access to local shops, cafés, bars, boating and riverside walks along the River Barrow, as well as the renowned Lord Bagenal Hotel & Restaurant and Arboretum Lifestyle & Garden Centre.

Excellent connectivity is provided via the nearby M9 motorway (Dublin–Waterford route), located just a five-minute drive away. Carlow Town, Bagenalstown and Kilkenny City are all easily accessible, offering an extensive range of shopping, leisure, educational and transport amenities. The property is situated approximately 14.6 km south of Carlow Town and 25.6 km north of Kilkenny City.
