The Parsons Shoes landmark on Main Street, Castlebar, has been placed on the market with an asking price of \u20ac850,000.<\/p>\n

The property is positioned on the corner of Main Street and Castle Street in the heart of the town.<\/p>\n

The three storey over basement period building extends to 751.24 square metres (8,083 sq. ft) and has dual street frontage onto both Main Street and Castle Street.<\/p>\n

The site is currently arranged as a large split level retail unit at ground floor level, with basement storage and upper floors historically used for a mix of storage and residential purposes.<\/p>\n

The property has two staircases serving the upper floors and basement, a main retail entrance from Main Street, and a secondary entrance from Castle Street. It also benefits from a substantial rear yard of 346.7 square metres, with direct access from Castle Street.<\/p>\n

Selling agent Gerard O’Toole of O’Toole & Co. said the property presents a unique development opportunity given its scale, town centre location, and rear access. The upper floors are said to be in poor condition and would require extensive refurbishment or redevelopment.<\/p>\n

The building is constructed of rendered solid masonry walls with mainly uPVC double glazed windows and doors under a slate roof.<\/p>\n

It is connected to all mains services and is zoned Town Centre Commercial under the Castlebar Area Plan.<\/p>\n

The title is unregistered fee simple, to be sold with full vacant possession.<\/p>\n

Viewings are strictly by prior appointment with O’Toole & Co.<\/p>\n
