Formerly known as The Goal Post pub, this detached property in Ballinagare comes to the market with an asking price of €150,000.
Extending to approximately 316 sq m, the building reflects its previous use as a licensed premises, with a large open-plan area along with a number of separate rooms and facilities.
The property has been maintained and presents a different type of opportunity compared to a standard dwelling. Its size and layout allows for flexibility, whether retained for commercial use or converted to residential accommodation, subject to planning permission.
