Homes with income potential in the south-east

Co Wexford/€600,000 & €750,000: Two properties with income potential in the south-east have come to the market this week.

Palmer Real Estate Alliance is handling the sale of a waterfront property in Dunmore East. Dock House, which is home to the Melting Pot Cafe, has an AMV of €750,000 prior to auction on July 26th.

The terraced house is situated in the upper harbour area beside the village post office. It has uninterrupted views of the bay and out to the Hook Peninsula.

The café section of the building is located on the first floor and comprises a reception area, diningroom with feature fireplace and large picture window, kitchen and toilet.

The remainder of the 232sq m (2,500sq ft) is residential. Accommodation includes five bedrooms, a sittingroom and a kitchen. New owners are likely to renovate and redecorate the living quarters, which are a bit dated.

Meanwhile, Wexford agent Kehoe Barry & Associates has set an AMV of €600,000 for 21 Main Street, Enniscorthy, Co Wexford, a three-storey commercial/residential building in a prime location, prior to auction on July 12th.

The late 19th century Gothic Revival building has been used as a doctor's surgery and residence for many years and comes to the market in good condition with lots of charm.

Located in the heart of the town close to the Murphy Flood Hotel, it extends to 71sq m (765sq ft) at ground floor level, where there are three consulting rooms and a waiting room. There is additional 112sq m (1,200sq ft) yard to the rear.

The residential element is laid out over the second and third storey. Accommodation includes four bedrooms, two formal reception rooms, a diningroom, small kitchen and family bathroom.

The house still retains much period detail, including an ornate staircase, original marble fireplace in one of the reception rooms and an oriel window in a seating area of the first floor landing.
