Granard Hotel to go under the hammer

One of north Longford’s most iconic establishments is to be sold off at the end of the month.

Hourican’s Hotel in Granard is one of over 190 properties set to go under the hammer at an Allsop Space auction sale on February 25 inside Dublin’s RDS.

The famous building, situated along Granard Main Street and which has been vacant for over five years, boasts 18 bedrooms over 10,000 sq ft.

Sales agents for Allsop hope the building’s €90,000 reserve price and the addition of a two bedroom cottage will attract plenty of interest come auction day.

The Dublin based firm, which has become well-known for its regular ‘monster’ sales of residential properties in recent times, has also included a commercial site totalling almost acres in Longford town.

The site, on the southern side of the N62 opposite to Mastertech Business Park and adjoining Flancare Business Park, has planning permission for a retail development extending to over 5,000 square metres, together with a garden centre of around 800 square metres.
