68 Main Street, Howth, Howth, D13E084

KELLY BRADSHAW are delighted to present No. 68 Main Street, Howth, Co. Dublin to the market.

Nestled in the very heart of Howth village, this property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a derelict property with immense potential for redevelopment or refurbishment (subject to planning permission). Perfectly positioned on the bustling Main Street, this property stands out not only for its prime address but also for its exceptional on-site parking to the front.

Occupying a generous site of approximately 453 sq. m, the property is set back from Main Street and accessed via a private courtyard with mature trees and garden areas. The existing structure, a two-storey building with period character, is in poor condition throughout and requires a complete renovation or possible redevelopment. Whether you’re a developer seeking to unlock its full potential or a family dreaming of crafting a bespoke forever home, this property provides endless possibilities.

The ground floor briefly comprises an entrance hall leading to a front-facing living room. Beyond this is a galley kitchen, while further down the hallway you’ll find a bathroom, an additional sitting room, and a generous lounge/dining area with a second kitchen to the rear. French doors open onto a private patio area, offering potential for a charming outdoor space.

Upstairs, the property includes six bedrooms in total, with a master bedroom featuring an en-suite bathroom, as well as a separate family bathroom.

Perched on the scenic peninsula jutting into Dublin Bay, Howth is one of Ireland’s most picturesque coastal villages. Known for its working fishing harbour, rugged cliffs, and sweeping sea views, it offers a rare blend of natural beauty and vibrant village life. The harbour buzzes with activity year-round, where fishing boats, seafood restaurants, and weekend markets create an unmistakable seaside charm.

Beyond its waterfront, Howth is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. The famous Howth Cliff Walk provides panoramic vistas of Dublin Bay, Lambay Island, and the Wicklow Mountains, while the area’s woodlands, heathlands, and hidden beaches invite exploration. Golfers, sailors, and hikers are spoiled for choice, and birdwatchers flock to Ireland’s Eye just offshore, a sanctuary for puffins and seabirds.

Despite its village atmosphere, Howth boasts excellent transport links, with a DART station connecting you to Dublin city centre in under 30 minutes. Its blend of quaint pubs, artisan cafés, award-winning seafood restaurants, and a lively cultural scene makes it a highly desirable place to live. Whether you’re drawn by the stunning views, the fresh sea air, or the welcoming community, Howth captures the very best of coastal living while keeping the city within easy reach.
