Former derelict Kildare national school on 1.28 acres for sale for  €250,000

This former National School in Crookstown Village is set on a 1.28 acre site, which could be put to a number of uses. 

Zoned predominantly “Village Centre” under the Kildare County Development Plan 2023-2029, this is “to provide for the development and improvement of appropriate village centre uses including residential, commercial, office and civic use.”

Permitted uses include housing, medical/health centres, retail, guesthouse, creche and playschool to name a few. The existing buildings extend to in excess of 725 sq.m./7,800 sq.ft. The site benefits from superb road frontage and its regular shape makes it an ideal development opportunity.

The area has the benefit of shop, pharmacy, butchers, church, hardware store, gym, hairdresser/beautician, pub/restaurant and work hub which is ideal for remote working and the new Crookstown National School is within a very short walk of the subject site.

The surrounding towns include Kilcullen (14km), Athy (14km), Newbridge (20km), Naas (26km). The 880 bus service provides access to Naas, Carlow and the Towns/Villages in between. There is M9 Motorway access at Junction 3 which is within just a 5 minute drive, making this an ideal commuter destination.
