Description

This prominently positioned public house, originally ‘The Town & Arms Hotel', now trading as Lil McCarthy's, originally dates from the late 18th century and occupies a prime location in the picturesque coastal village of Castletownshend. Successfully operated for many years, this renowned establishment boasts a coveted seven-day license with hotel status. An historic four bay two-storey terraced building, it includes a distinctive carriage arch at the eastern end, allowing convenient access to the rear, with an inviting timber shop front, large display windows, and a rounded timber panelled entrance doorway. The ground floor of the property extends to approximately 1,939 sq ft, with the bar area exuding traditional charm and warmth, featuring exposed timber ceilings, classic timber & slate flooring, and a beautifully polished bar counter. Comfortable seating arrangements with upholstered benches, enhance the welcoming atmosphere, making it an inviting social hub for locals and visitors alike. To the rear of the property, there is an attractive enclosed walled garden with decking. This charming space is laid out as a private walled garden, ideal for outdoor seating, summer entertaining, or simply enjoying a quiet retreat. With its mature planting and historic stone boundary walls, it offers a peaceful, sheltered setting with great potential for further enhancement. Complementing the business premises is a spacious, self-contained four-bedroom residential apartment on the first floor, measuring approximately 1,480 sq ft. Also included is the adjoining two-storey building located at the western end of the property. Painted in a soft sage green render, it offers a striking visual contrast to the distinctive lilac hue of the main building. Rich in local history and formerly known as ‘The Tailor's', this charming structure now provides valuable additional storage space. Castletownshend is a highly desirable and scenic coastal village on the Wild Atlantic Way, internationally recognized as a hub for sailing and water sports. Lil McCarthy's Bar is ideally located making it a rare and attractive opportunity to acquire a historic property with significant commercial and residential potential in one of Ireland's most sought-after coastal locations.
