Description

DNG McCormack is delighted to present to the market The Avalon, a landmark property located on Main Street in the charming and historic village of Shillelagh, Co. Wicklow. This substantial premises offers a rare opportunity to acquire a once-thriving restaurant, guest house, and licensed bar in a prominent and highly visible location, with immense potential for redevelopment or revitalisation. Currently closed, The Avalon is steeped in character and history, and presents a versatile canvas for investors, entrepreneurs, or hospitality professionals. Its superb position in the heart of the village ensures a steady footfall from both locals and tourists year-round, particularly given the area's rich natural beauty and growing tourism infrastructure. Previously operated as a fully licensed premises, The Avalon comprised multiple revenue-generating elements, including a traditional bar/lounge area with hardwood finishes and open fireplaces, a commercial kitchen (currently non-operational), a restaurant, a function room and 13 well-proportioned guest rooms located on the upper floor. Large front-facing windows bathe the interior in natural light, enhancing the welcoming atmosphere throughout. To the rear of the property lies a private courtyard or garden area, which holds excellent potential for conversion into an attractive outdoor dining or seating space, ideal for the warmer months or could be further developed into apartments/guest houses etc, subject to planning permission. While refurbishment is required, The Avalon offers tremendous potential for a variety of uses, from a boutique guesthouse or gastro pub to a stylish private residence with commercial viability. Importantly, a bar licence remains in place, presenting a valuable asset for future redevelopment. Shillelagh is a picturesque village in the south of County Wicklow, set along the R725 road from Carlow to Gorey. Adding to the appeal is its proximity to key attractions and natural amenities. Nestled in a tranquil valley where the River Derry flows through the village. The ever popular Wicklow Way, The Tomnafinogue Woods walking trail and Coollattin Golf Club (one of the region's finest courses) are all nearby, enhancing its draw for outdoor enthusiasts and visitors. Crucially, The Avalon is located at the end of the line of the upcoming Arklow to Shillelagh Greenway, due its positioning this makes The Avalon a key hub for visitors seeking refreshments, rest or overnight accommodation, a significant regional development backed by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII). This greenway is expected to proceed to the next planning phase shortly and will follow the scenic route of the former railway line, connecting picturesque towns such as Tinahely, Aughrim, Annacurra, Woodenbridge, and Arklow. Upon completion, the greenway will attract a new wave of eco-tourism and recreational traffic. Despite its peaceful village setting, Shillelagh is just over one hour from Dublin, making The Avalon a viable destination for weekenders, tourists, or those seeking a lifestyle business opportunity within easy reach of the capital. Additionally, the scenic Wicklow and Wexford coastlines are just a short drive away. The village's layout and many of its stone buildings, including handsome former estate houses and a clock towered courthouse, derive from its origins as a planned model village within the Fitzwilliam (Coolattin) estate in the 18th century. This is a unique chance to acquire a distinctive property with historical charm and outstanding future potential. Whether you're seeking a new hospitality venture, an investment opportunity, or a visionary restoration project, The Avalon is ready to be brought back to life.
