Blooming marvellous: Townhouse over a florist with historic shopfront for €195k
The building sits on the main street in pretty Lismore, Co Waterford.
IF YOU’RE THINKING about purchasing a property that offers both living and commercial potential, this terraced home could be the one for you.
Located on Main Street in Lismore, Co Waterford, this multi-purpose property comprises a ground floor commercial unit with a historic shopfront and two floors of living accommodation above. The lot is on the market through Dan Howard & Co Ltd Auctioneers for €195,000.
The commercial unit is currently rented for use as a florist with an attractive sage green storefront and a rustic interior. The shop is a comfortable size, while there’s also a storage room and a bathroom.
To preserve privacy, the living accommodation has its own separate access to the two floors. Stepping inside, the hallway leads to the first floor and also provides access to the rear garden, where there’s a courtyard area with stone walls and a sizeable garden. Mature trees and shrubs create a sense of peacefulness, while Lismore Cathedral can be seen in the distance.
On the first floor, there is the open plan living and dining room, and the kitchen. The open plan space is filled with natural light thanks to the two picture windows, with a feature fireplace also in here. The accommodation is well-kept, but could benefit from some modern upgrades to truly make it shine.
The kitchen offers the potential for a great amount of storage and countertop space to be added in, making for a functional and well-adapted cooking area.
Heading to the second floor, the two bedrooms are located here. The master bedroom is particularly spacious and benefits from a feature fireplace, while both bedrooms include picture windows. The bathroom is also on this level.
Lastly, the attic has been converted to provide extra storage, with a Velux window overlooking Lismore Castle and Lismore Cathedral. For those who are working from home, this space could easily be transformed into a home office.
A quiet town, Lismore offers an idyllic way of life for buyers of all ages. There’s a primary school, secondary school and sports clubs, as well as a selection of bars, restaurants, cafes and shops in and around Main Street. Further afield, Dungarvan and Youghal can be reached in 30 minutes.
