Description
Morrissey’s Shop & Residence, Johnstown, Co. Kilkenny Asking Price: €325,000 An Exceptional Opportunity to Acquire a Thriving Village Shop & Spacious Four-Bedroom Residence in the Heart of Johnstown Rory Doyle Auctioneers Limited are delighted to present to the market Morrissey’s Shop & Residence, a well-established and thriving local business situated in the heart of Johnstown, Co. Kilkenny. Morrissey’s has long been an integral part of the local community, serving generations of customers and establishing itself as a central part of village life. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving village shop, with the added benefit of a spacious four-bedroom residence, all contained within the one substantial three-storey property. The shop occupies the street-level frontage of the building, with residential accommodation extending throughout the property, including bedrooms on the upper floors. The property offers enormous potential for someone looking to take over an established business as a going concern, while enjoying the convenience of having their family home and business under the one roof. Commercial Premises The front ground-floor portion of the property comprises the existing village shop, which enjoys a prominent position in the centre of Johnstown. The shop has established itself as a much-valued part of the community and presents an excellent opportunity for an individual, couple or family looking to continue operating a local business in a welcoming and thriving village. While the existing shop offers an attractive opportunity as a going concern, the premises may also lend themselves to alternative commercial uses, such as office space or another business venture. There may also be potential to incorporate the commercial premises back into residential accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Residential Accommodation The residential accommodation forms part of the same three-storey building as the shop, offering generous and versatile living space across three floors. Ground Floor: * Kitchen * Living Room * Sitting Room * Hallway * Toilet First Floor: * Two Bedrooms * Bathroom Second Floor: * Two Bedrooms * Bathroom To the rear of the property is a lovely, generously sized garden, maintained in excellent condition and providing an attractive outdoor space for relaxation, entertaining or family enjoyment. The combination of commercial and residential accommodation makes this a particularly appealing property, offering the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of village living while operating your own business from the same premises. Location Johnstown is a thriving and welcoming village in north County Kilkenny, renowned for its strong community spirit and convenient location. The village offers a range of local amenities, including schools, sporting facilities, shops and services, making it an attractive location for both families and business owners. Ideally situated just off the M8 motorway, Johnstown enjoys excellent accessibility to Kilkenny City, approximately 30 minutes away, while also providing convenient access to Thurles, Portlaoise and the surrounding towns. Its central location, established local community and excellent road connections make Johnstown an ideal setting for both residential living and commercial activity.
