PICTURES: Former Clare pub could be turned into stunning home as it hits market for under €400k

A FULLY restored limestone licenced pub and restaurant in the heart of Clare presents a unique property opportunity.

Kilshanny House is nestled in a beautiful valley and within a short drive of a number of tourist attractions including The Burren, The Cliffs of Moher, Lahinch town, Lahinch Golf Club, Doolin  Doonbeg Golf Club, Aillwee Caves, The Aran Islands  and The Wild Atlantic Way.

The west coast of Clare is one of Ireland's most favourite holiday destination appealing to both domestic and international visitors.

Kilshanny House is ideally positioned to service this vibrant trade, and is on the market for €385,000.

It is a truly stunning licenced venue, dating from the early 1800's. It has been professionally restored and complemented with exceptional modern facilities.

Kilshanny House was purchased by chef Matthew Strefford and his wife Michelle in 2021. They lovingly embraced Kilshanny House and have created a most unique venue capable of operating in a number of markets.

In a short time Matthew and his team made Kilshanny House one of Clare's best food haunts and must visit destinations.

Sadly, for Matthew and Michelle their fulfilled dream is on hold for family commitments.

On the ground floor Kilshanny House provides an olde worlde bar/restaurant (40 seats) resplendent with exposed walls, timber floors, cast iron stoves and adorned memorabilia in keeping with its history together with a state of the art modern kitchen and quality toilet facilities.

Overhead, is additional restaurant space or ideal for private parties/function room for a minimum of 35 guests.

On the second floor, is a former one bedroom unit, previously used as owner accommodation.

The potential of Kilshanny House is further enhanced by it's outside grounds (site area 0.39 acres) and gardens which feature seating for 80 persons, lawn and flower gardens, and extensive car and coach parking, together with stores including new keg room, and a stone built wood fire oven and grill.

Kilshanny is gloriously located on the N67 between Ennistymon (5.5kms), a bustling market town famed for its cascades, the renowed spa town of Lisdoonvarna (6.5kms), within 9kms of both the quaint harbour village of Liscannor and the seaside town of Lahinch.
