2m for nursing home

Savills is seeking €2 million for an unoccupied former nursing home on Convent Lane off Grange Road in Rathfarnham, Dublin 14.

The three-storey cut-stone building with 29 bedrooms originally formed part of Loreto Abbey and is a protected structure. It is linked to a modern three-storey building with a floor area of 1,532sq m (16,500sq ft). The property stands on a site of 0.89 of an acre.

The same agent is asking €1.5 million for a site of 1.27 hectares (3.15 acres) at Hearse Road beside Newbridge Avenue in Donabate, Co Dublin. The zoning would allow for a low density housing development or a nursing home.
