The proverbial ‘fixer upper’ ……
Town centre properties in Buncrana are extremely rare to the market so Franklins are very excited to bring this 1930’s property to the market at St Oran’s Road. Just 200m from lower Main Street the property requires complete redecoration, however, with the Vacant Home grant and SEAI Grant available between €75,000-€100,000 is available to help bring this property back to its former glory. Internally the property benefits from 9.5 foot ceilings and when renovated will offer prospective purchasers stunning town centre accommodation, walking distance of the main street. To the rear of the property, the detached garage offers additional storage space and a 40 foot L shaped rear garden provides great outdoor space for young families.
