RedevelopmentSite:Irrespective of the fortunes of the house building industry, astute developers will be interested in a very special small development site which has just come on the market overlooking the River Liffey at Weirgate, Templemills Road in Celbridge, Co Kildare.

Will Coonan of Coonan Real Estate Alliance is quoting over €1.7 million for the substantial two-storey house and one acre of grounds which have full planning permission to demolish the house for six detached homes.

The new houses will be laid out in an alcove-style development, each of them with frontage on to the river. The site is about 1km from the centre of Celbridge which has a good range of shopping, leisure and social facilities.

Most residents are Dublin commuters, using the Hazelhatch railway station for the 25-minute trip into the city centre.
