Development Opportunity: Bayview Bungalow, St Mary's Villas, Cromwell's Lane, Drogheda, Co. Louth. Site c. 0.12 ha (c. 0.3 acres)
Description
Columb Brazil Auctioneers is pleased to offer an infill development opportunity in an established residential area of Drogheda, close to the railway station.
Bayview Bungalow stands on a mature site of c. 0.12 ha (c. 0.3 acres) at the junction of Cromwell's Lane and St Mary's Villas, with road frontage on two sides. It's currently occupied by a three-bedroom bungalow of c. 140 m² with an adjoining garage, which needs complete refurbishment.
The site may suit replacement of the bungalow with a small-scale residential scheme, either a small apartment block or a terrace of houses, subject to full planning permission. Its location supports the case for residential redevelopment:
Precedent across the road. On the opposite side of Cromwell's Lane, An Bord Pleanála granted permission in 2022 for 58 apartments at Bayview House (ABP-310849-21, Louth County Council Reg. Ref. 20/1086), on lands zoned A1 Existing Residential.
Transport. Drogheda railway station is close by, with the Dublin–Belfast line and commuter services to Dublin. The M1 is within easy reach.
Established services. It's in a built-up residential area within walking distance of Drogheda town centre's shops, schools and services.
Fallback option. The existing bungalow could instead be refurbished and extended as a family home.
Drogheda is one of the fastest-growing towns in the country, and demand for well-located homes near public transport is strong.
Planning note: No planning permission is in place, and no assurance is given as to zoning, density, height, access or services. Interested parties should make their own enquiries with Louth County Council and take independent professional advice. A site map is available on request.
Viewing is strictly by appointment with Columb Brazil Auctioneers on 085 835 2288 or at brazilestateagents.ie.
