Pair of Georgian townhouses operate as 20-bedroom B&B

Selling agents Colliers International are quoting €5.75m for the property known as Avondale House at 40 and 41 Lower Gardiner Street which are interconnected adjoining Georgian terraced houses. Extending to 6,846 sq ft, this bed and breakfast offers 20 bedrooms, some of which are ensuite. Attractively restored, the protected structure retains many of its period features including cornicing, centre roses and coving on the ceilings as well as sash windows, original staircase, panel doors and wooden floors. At the heart of the property lies an open-plan kitchen and dining area which lends itself to communal guest uses and fostering a hospitable ambience. This is located at ground floor level where two hall floor reception areas are also located. At ground floor return, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms as well as access to an upper courtyard with a derelict mews which also offers potential for extra bedrooms. Already the basement accommodates five bedrooms and four bathrooms and this level also opens to the rear courtyard with access to the original Georgian vaults which offers potential for creative uses. Gardiner Street has been one of Dublin's traditional hospitality streets for over a century because of its proximity to key transport nodes such as Connolly Station and Busáras as well as Dublin port and docklands. It is also to entertainment facilities such as the Abbey and Gate theatres, Croke Park and Temple Bar
