One of Louth's most iconic and much-loved pubs with overhead accommodation is up for sale for just €375,000. PJ Byrnes is located on the main street in the village of Castlebellingham.
The cosy spot oozes with character and charm thanks to many of the building's original features, including the beautiful front bar adorned with many original antiques and memorabilia.
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 facade 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.
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!
