It is seldom enough that a development opportunity arises in Howth, Dublin 13, and for that reason alone Knight Frank is expecting considerable interest in a partially completed building project at the junction of Howth Terrace and Church Street.

The estate agency is guiding €800,000 for the complex which includes the former Lighthouse Bar and two adjoining houses. Work on the redevelopment of the bar remains unfinished while both houses, 1 and 2 Howth Terrace, are also in need of refurbishment. There is a commercial unit on the ground floor of one of the houses.

Knight Frank says the site provides an incoming purchaser with a number of options from refurbishing the existing buildings to a complete redevelopment of the site.

Given the location of the property, the upper floor should have spectacular views over the harbour. The property is only 50 metres from the harbour and within 350 metres of the Howth Dart station.
