Features
- This is an opportunity to acquire a substantial landmark property in the heart of Cavan town centre
- The property is a charming former Methodist Church that was constructed in 1858 and over the years was converted from a house of worship to commercial premises, which is what it operates now under its current capacity
- Although currently occupied the owners have been conscious in retaining its original features that make it well known and attractive to Cavan's architecture with cut limestone walls, pitched slate roof and original stained glass feature window to the front facade. The property also retains the original bell tower with steeple removed in the 1960's to also add to its historical charm.

- Internally the property spaciously comprises of 212m² over 2 levels whilst still exposing the king-post trusses to interior ceiling with quatrefoils and mouchettes timbers.
- Designed by William Hague, this former Methodist church is one of an important group of buildings that form Farnham Street. The setting of the former church with its manse adjacent to the neighbouring Presbyterian buildings and the Masonic Hall is quite unusual. Like the Presbyterian church and manse, the Gothic Revival aspects of the design are in striking contrast to the symmetry and restrained detailing of the neo-Classical terracing and public buildings on the street. The craftsmanship of the stonework contributes to the aesthetic qualities of the street and is testament to local skills gone by.
