A rundown Georgian house next to the Shelbourne Hotel car park at 19 Kildare Street, Dublin 2, is to be offered for sale this week through Quinn Agnew at over €550,000 – a long way from the €3.9 million it made at auction in October, 2005, when it was bought by the consortium which had acquired the Shelbourne.

The listed four-storey over basement building is in poor condition and will require substantial investment to make it habitable.

It has an overall floor area of 288sq m (3,108sq ft).
