Former Mayo HSE 'eyesore' property sold for €515k at auction

A FORMER HSE property at Mountain View in Castlebar has been sold.

Hill House made €515,000 at public auction, according to a sale report published on the website of O'Donnellan & Joyce Auctioneers.

The property had drawn the ire of local councillors over its condition.

Commenting on this latest development, Councillor Cyril Burke said he was delighted the HSE took advice and put the building on the market, noting how it was sold for 'a good price'.

Hopefully something will be done with the property soon.

Councillor Al McDonnell also welcomed the sale of what he described as an 'eyesore'.
