Summary A rare opportunity to acquire an established, trading public house in the heart of Athy together with an adjoining vacant development site fronting the Grand Canal, offered for sale as a single freehold holding. The Auld Shebeen is a well-known gastro pub occupying a prominent corner position on Upper William Street, directly beside the 27th Lock of the Grand Canal. The adjoining lands comprise the disused former Minch Malt’s grain store and kiln buildings, for which pre-planning consultation with Kildare County Council has already been progressed for a 41-unit mixed-use scheme (“The Malt House Apartments”) — providing a purchaser with a trading income-producing pub and a planning-advanced redevelopment opportunity in one transaction. Location Athy is is an historic market town at the meeting of the Grand Canal and the River Barrow in south-west Kildare c. 72 kilometres southwest of Dublin. It is connected to the capital via the M9 Motorway and the mainline Dublin / Waterford railway making Athy a very popular commuter location.
