Former Garda Station, Main Street, Ballymoe, Co. Galway, F45E299

It once served as a base for law and order in a quiet village in the west of Ireland, but now this former Garda station is set for a new lease on life when it goes to auction with a guide price of just €45,000.

Sitting on a generous 0.27-acre site on the Main Street of Ballymoe, Co Galway, the detached building which dates from the 1990s, measures just over 41 square metres and comes with one bedroom, one bathroom, and kitchen facilities.

Once a familiar landmark for locals on the Galway–Roscommon border, the station is located just 9km from Castlerea and 20km from Roscommon town. The property also boasts ample parking and plenty of scope for development, subject to planning permission.

With stamp duty exemption and a modest guide price on Daft.ie, the sale is likely to attract strong interest from buyers keen to snap up a piece of local history. The property will be sold via live stream auction this Friday, September 19, at 12pm.
