Local estate agents on the move to new premises

The former Planet video store on Park Street

Local estate agents DNG Duffy look set to relocate their offices to the former Planet video store at 66-67 Park Street.

Currently based at 18 Park Street, facing Jimmy’s Bar, owner Keith Duffy has just applied for planning permission to carry out alterations to the shop front of the recently bought building which he is believed to have purchased.

He has also sought planning permission for two projecting signs and the “relocation of office/financial and professional services use from 18 Park Street to 66-67 Park Street.”

The purchase of the former Planet video store, which has been lying idle for some years, included two units on Gray’s Lane, neither of which are part of the planning application to Louth County Council.

Plans are in place to complete a Dundalk ghost estate.

The Towers estate on the Point Road has been lying idle for a number of years but now Black and White Construction, headed up by local man Niall Wiseman are looking to complete the project.

Indeed, local estate agents DNG Duffy have begun to promote the new builds with enquiries now being taken for the homes, which are set to be located opposite the entrance to the Red Barns Road.

The energy efficient houses will offer uninterrupted views of the Mourne Mountains and 9ft high ceilings on the ground floor.

A four bed detached house in the estate is available at €295,000, a four bed semi is €230,000 while a three bed semi has a €183,000 asking price.

Further details are available on www.dng.ie or by contact Keith Duffy of DNG Duffy at 042-9351011.

The Towers was previously a castle-like residence that was built by local businessman Thomas Craig around 100 years ago. In more recent years the Mackle family, who still reside locally on the Lower Point Road, had owned it.
