Street view
Exterior read
The property comprises a prominent two-storey coastal building situated along the waterfront roadway facing Sligo Bay. Characterised by traditional rendered masonry construction under pitched slate roofs, the property enjoys direct sea views and high footfall/drive-by prominence, making it ideal for hospitality, holiday letting, or a coastal lifestyle residence.
▲ What stands out
Prime frontline coastal position offering uninterrupted panoramic sea and bay views
Strong commercial or holiday-let potential given the scenic seaside location and established tourism profile
Apparent sound structural envelope with well-maintained pitched slate roofing and updated glazing units
Charming traditional coastal vernacular architecture with excellent roadside visibility
Public parking and scenic viewpoint situated conveniently across the roadway
▼ Watch for
High exposure to harsh marine elements, wind, and salt spray, demanding frequent exterior maintenance
Direct roadside frontage with minimal setback, creating potential traffic noise and pedestrian disturbance
On-street parking restrictions (double yellow lines) directly outside the front entrance
Potential coastal flood risk and moisture penetration inherent to low-lying waterfront environments
Topographical constraints to the rear hillside which may limit expansion and require retaining wall upkeep

Asking price vs comparable homes Low confidence
Priced higherAbout rightPriced lower
Indicative range only — €520,000–€636,000.
We don't have enough comparable sales on this street or nearby to value this home independently, so this range is a wide sanity-check centred on the €925,000 asking price — not confirmed against the market. Estimates at this confidence land within 20% of the sale price about 34% of the time.
This compares the asking price only. It cannot see condition, interior, garden or aspect — a home priced low may need work. Use it to shortlist, not to decide. Our price model is typically within ~18%, so treat the range, not the midpoint, as the signal. Comparable data here is limited, so this is indicative.
