We are delighted to introduce this landmark corner property to the market. Known as 2–3 Lower Quay Street, this historic building is a rare surviving reminder of Sligo's past as a significant transatlantic port and forms an important part of the town's architectural and cultural heritage. The former public house located on the south gable has been demolished, along with its associated yard to the east, which now lies vacant. A historic stone wall remains along the north side of the street, marking the former yards and stores and adding to the site's character and heritage value. The building itself extends to three storeys, comprising two bays on the north elevation and three bays on the west elevation. It is divided into two separate units, with a stepped party wall at ground-floor level. Access to No. 2 (south) is provided via the west elevation, while No. 3 (north) is accessed from the north elevation. While the building is in need of complete refurbishment, it presents an exceptional opportunity for purchasers seeking a restoration project in an excellent town centre location. The availability of refurbishment and conservation grants further enhances the appeal of this unique property. The external form of the building dates from the late 18th century, and possibly earlier, and retains a number of notable architectural features, including brick dentils at eaves level, a shallow-pitched hipped slate roof, and irregular fenestration. The roof form and overall proportions are particularly distinctive. Recognised as the earliest surviving building in this part of Sligo, the property represents a significant architectural, historical, and social landmark within the town.
