Description

Sherry FitzGerald Carroll are delighted to present to the market, a unique opportunity to acquire one of Ireland's long established and much-loved pubs with overhead accommodation, on the main street in the village of Castlebellingham. PJ Byrnes occupies a prominent location with frontage onto Main Street in Castlebellingham, Co. Louth, approximately 13 kilometers South of Dundalk Town Centre and approximately 24 kilometers north of Drogheda Town Centre. The location is also convenient to M1 Motorway Junction 15 giving direct access to Dublin and Belfast and Airports, making the Castlebellingham location one of the most popular wedding venues on the eastern seaboard. P. J. Byrnes oozes with character and charm from many of the building's original features, including the beautiful front bar adorned with many original antiques and memorabilia. It is a comfortable pub with a warm atmosphere with a welcoming blazing fire as you come in the front door. The layout at ground floor comprises a beautiful, traditional front bar leading to a snug area, a lounge/conservatory area to the rear leading to a second side bar, a kitchen and ladies and gent's toilet facilities. The pub benefits from a rear beer garden and two large storage sheds. The first floor comprises residential accommodation and is accessed via a corridor on the ground floor area. The upper floors are currently not in use but would be ideal for upgrading to living accommodation for owner/staff occupation. The original front façade is listed, protecting the architectural character of the building. The pub is steeped in history; the Byrne family has links with the village of Castlebellingham for over 110 years. Grandfather Patrick Byrne came to the village in 1913 from Cullaville with his wife Catherine and bought a shop and pub located in the heart of the village, known today as P. J. Byrnes. It enjoys a solid reputation with loyal clientele and passing visitors alike. With tourism growing in the region and increased demand for authentic rural pub experiences, there is ample opportunity for growth including the introduction of a full food menu, boutique B&B conversion or destination events. The pub is located in the heart of Castlebellingham village, a prime residential location and home to home to luxurious, popular wedding venue Bellingham Castle, a 17th century Irish Castle on a 17-acre estate. Many bridal parties stop into the pub enroute to enjoy a pint and return for day 2 celebrations! P. J. Byrne's offers a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of local heritage, with a strong trading history, excellent potential for further growth, and in a prime position in a picturesque and thriving village.
