An integral part of the streetscape for over two centuries Gartlan's Pub. This distinctive thatched property offers a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic pub steeped in a rich local history with a long-standing connection to the community. Featured in Turtle Bunbury's bestselling book “The Irish Pub,” this historic thatch pub has been featured worldwide from the Aer Lingus inflight catalogues to postcards, it is an iconic landmark associated with Ireland's rich pub tradition. In 2017, 2018 and 2019 The Irish Restaurant Awards awarded Gartlan's the coveted title of “Pub of The Year (Ulster Winner)” the highest accolade of the Irish hospitality industry. Built in the late 18th Century this historic property underwent a significant restoration in 2014 after it had fallen victim to the ravages of the recession. In 2018 it received a Conservation Award at the Building & Architect of the Year awards for using traditional building methods whilst retaining the rich tapestry and integrity of the building. Beyond the picture-perfect postcard facade, the interior has been sensitively preserved in time with nuances of the generations that have gone before. The walls are adorned with memorabilia and photographs, the interiors heralding signs of centuries of folklore and the ceilings bearing the marks of many a cosy turf fire the history of this cherished property are narrated in the fabric of the building. The property comprises a substantial holding extending to 240 sq. m. approx. featuring a traditional bar, snug / front lounge and spacious rear lounge that extends into a covered outdoor area perfect for social gatherings or events. A commercial kitchen, store, ladies and gents' bathrooms complete the ground floor accommodation. Overhead residential accommodation comprises 2 bedrooms, 2 receptions rooms and bathroom suitable for owner occupation or staff quarters. Located within the heart of the bustling town of Kingscourt situated approx. 45km southeast of Cavan town and close to the county borders of Meath, Monaghan and Louth. The town is surrounded by beautiful countryside, including the nearby Dun a Rí Forest Park, historic Cabra Castle and Loughanleagh for hill walking enthusiasts. Full of historical charm, stories and a little magic, time has been preserved in this historic gem and while it may be the last call for orders for the current owners the next chapter remains unpenned for the new owners! Viewing is strictly by appointment only with the sole selling agent.
