Campbells Auctioneers are delighted to present to the market this iconic three-storey property in the very heart of Dungloe town, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most distinctive buildings in the area with enormous scope for redevelopment.
Occupying a prime and strategic location on Main Street, the property stands proudly within the streetscape and benefits from generous grounds to the rear which allow for potential future development.
Planning permission has recently been granted for guesthouse or bed and breakfast accommodation together with a café at ground floor level, greatly enhancing the building`s potential, particularly given its busy town centre setting.



The property itself dates from the first decades of the twentieth century and retains much of its early charm and character. The front elevation is striking, with its tall façade, finely detailed render work, half dormer openings, central bays and hood mouldings. Originally built between 1904 and 1906, the building was first designed as two semi-detached villas before being opened up to accommodate the National Bank and later the Bank of Ireland. Today it remains one of the town`s most recognisable landmarks and a valued part of Dungloe`s built heritage.



Internally, the property extends over three floors and comprises ten rooms, a kitchen, an open lobby and retail area, five newly installed shower rooms and a number of WC facilities. It has benefited from a series of recent upgrades including the installation of a new gas boiler with gas tank, electric radiators added in 2022, a fire alarm system and double glazing throughout.

A right of way has also been established to the rear providing convenient parking.

From the back of the property, breathtaking views stretch across the Atlantic Ocean towards Arranmore and the islands off Burtonport and Maghery. With such a unique combination of heritage, scale, location and outlook, the building offers endless potential. It lends itself to development as a boutique hotel or guesthouse with café facilities, but could equally be adapted for mixed-use commercial purposes or even as a substantial private residence.
