Description

Hibernian House, located in West End Monasterevin, is a wonderfully large Georgian townhouse dating back to 1850 - 1870. While in need of considerable renovation and restoration there are many original features remaining in the property such as sash windows, hardwood floors, feature fireplaces, shutters, etc. The ground floor was at one time occupied by the Hibernian Bank (now Bank of Ireland), thus giving it its name “Hibernian House”. The house is described by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage as 'a fine, middle-size building of considerable social and historic interest representing the substantial dwellings of the prosperous merchant class that capitalised on the presence of the Grand Canal in Monasterevin'. There is great potential for the property to be renovated as one house or converted back to two separate houses. There may also be an opportunity for conversion to a boutique hotel / guesthouse or office use (subject to the relevant planning permission). There is a large garden to the rear of the property which has pedestrian and vehicular access via a public lane way.
