Commercial use beckons for Abbeyfield House

A commercial future use almost certainly beckons for Abbeyfield House, being sold on behalf of a charity on Cork city’s Curraheen Road, right opposite the Melbourn Road junction.

The former care home for the elderly is being auctioned by Darragh Taaffe of Keane Mahony Smith, who says the 4,000 sq ft single story building has around 16 rooms, including eight or nine en suite bedrooms.

In clean order, on a quarter acre site, it guides at €350,000, and could suit education uses (CIT is close-by), as accommodation for students, or for medical uses, says the agent.
