Description
Hume Auctioneers – We Get The Pick Of The Crop Greys Restaurant is a landmark commercial premises on Portlaoise’s Main Street and perhaps the most iconic property to come to the market in many years. The property has been in the same family for over a hundred years and now presents a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire perhaps the finest commercial premises of the town centre. Extending to over 2000 square feet on the ground floor, this superb premises offers immense accommodation and lends itself to a multitude of purposes. It has traded very successfully as The Pantry restaurant in recent years and patrons from all over the country will remember the nationally acclaimed Grays Restaurant which was establish by notable townsperson Margaret Gray in 1932. With numerous individual rooms, fully tiled kitchen, stores, office, staff and customer toilets, there is a substantial and ready to go infrastructure in place. First Floor Residence Accessed via a most impressive self-contained hallway, the ground floor entrance announces a period home of great distinction. The spectacular staircase leads to a stunning three-bedroom townhouse which has been extended and refurbished in recent years. A magnificent barrel roofed kitchen living space opens onto a large roof garden and also enjoys a Juliet balcony. The three bedrooms are massively spacious. A large drawing room enjoys interesting views over the main street. A family bathroom completes the accommodation. This space could be retained as an exclusive residence or indeed form excellent professional offices. Site Potential There is a substantial space to the east of the main building. There was once a residence here and the space accessed by sliding gate now offers genuine potential to develop a large new and additional commercial premises here. Garden & Coachhouses The property enjoys perhaps the finest garden in the entire town centre. Beautifully mature and with two substantial Victorian coachouses, the potential is immense. This space served as a magnificent Walled Garden outdoor seating area and even comfortably hosted some large concerts. Viewing of this exceptional property is highly recommended and strictly by appointment with John Dunne of Hume auctioneers.
