BREAKING: Naas Post Office is up for sale - but all services will remain in place

The premises was built before the Great Famine

The Naas Post Office premises is up for sale - but the full range of services available to the public will continue to be provided there.

An An Post representative told the Leinster Leader that there will be “no change” as far as the public is concerned.

The South Main Street premises comprises a mid-terrace four-bay three-storey protected structure, built around 1825 (the property is listed) with an old telephone exchange to the rear. Originally there were two three-storey houses (now interconnected) providing frontage onto the main street.

The entire site occupies a quarter of an acre and according to the selling agent An Post “will occupy the ground floor level fronting the main street for retail purposes.”

It also indicates that An Post will take a lease on the ground floor “while the rest of the property and site will provide development opportunities.”

The Post spokesperson said: “What’s happening is that we are putting the premises up for sale with the post office staying right where it is. (There will be) no change for customers, who will continue to use the local post office at its current location.” 

The spokesperson said Naas is a busy town with a growing population and “we are seeking to realise the value of the property and site as well as opening up a significant development opportunity for Naas.”

It is thought that the guide price is in excess of €1m.
