A prime residential development opportunity extending to approximately 0.54 acres, superbly positioned on the Portlaoise Road (R924), Graiguecullen, on the outskirts of Carlow Town. This strategically located site benefits from full planning permission for the development of 15 apartments and presents an exceptional opportunity for developers and investors to deliver a high-quality residential scheme in a well-established and highly accessible location.
The property further benefits from an existing detached dwelling extending to approximately 262 sq.m. (2,820 sq.ft.), offering scope for refurbishment, reconfiguration or integration into a wider redevelopment strategy, subject to the necessary consents. The residence occupies a mature setting within the site and provides additional flexibility for a range of potential uses.
Importantly, the site may offer potential for increased residential density, subject to planning permission, in line with current national planning policy encouraging compact growth and sustainable urban development. Recent government guidance actively supports higher density residential development in serviced urban locations close to transport infrastructure and amenities. Given the site's proximity to Carlow Town Centre and its strong accessibility profile, purchasers may wish to explore the potential for an enhanced scheme, subject to consultation with the relevant planning authority.
The mature nature of the site, together with its established boundaries and attractive setting, enhances the overall development potential and creates an appealing environment for future residential occupation. Opportunities of this scale and planning status in such a proven residential location are increasingly rare, making this an outstanding opportunity for developers seeking an immediately deliverable project with further medium-term upside potential.
