Unique opportunity to acquire a beautiful historic home in the heart of Carlow town. Burrin House was birthplace and home to the renowned scientific writer and President of the Royal Irish Academy, Samuel Haughton (1820-1897), a fact that is celebrated by a commemorative plaque on the front wall of the property. This imposing house comprises of 3 floors extending to c. 3,000 sq.ft. over a large basement of c. 950 sq.ft. Most recently used for student accommodation, the property has had its spacious living areas partitioned to provide 10 bedsitter living units with shared bathroom facilities on each floor. Its current configuration makes it an attractive proposal for an investor looking to take advantage of Carlow town's large student population. Alternatively, the house could be easily restored to its former grandeur to provide a stunning family home. Externally, front gates give access to private off-street parking, there is a veranda area on the river side of the house from where to enjoy the views over the river and an enclosed spacious yard to the rear. Viewing is most highly recommended.
