Boasting an array of wonderful original architectural features throughout, this property longs to be restored to its former glory and holds the potential to once again provide a most desirable residence.
Whilst much work has been carried out on this impressive former residence, the interior will require total restoration, with all services requiring installation.
This is a unique opportunity, given the one of a kind nature of the property in this coastal town. Set on a large site, with the benefit of side access, this characterful property includes the ruins of an old coach house on the grounds. Restoring the abundance of architectural features would prove a most worthwhile venture, ultimately ensuring a superb appreciation for its original character.
Some History:-
Mall House was once the home of the Kelly family, at the turn of the twentieth century. Peter and Rose Kelly's son, Edward Joseph Kelly (1883 - 1944) was elected MP for East Donegal in 1910.
It was later the home of Dr. Frederick Condon (1869 - 1914) hence the name "Condon House".
