Hoppers 7 Daft Daft

IF YOU’VE BEEN searching for a new home — and a new local pub — you’re in luck.

The Hoppers, a now-vacant Offaly pub which was voted as the county’s best pint of Guinness in 2017, is currently on the market. The sale includes a four-bedroom, one-bathroom home, a small convenience shop, as well as several outbuildings on an acre of land in the centre of Walsh Island Village.

The pub is fully fitted and equipped with a full seven-day licence to serve. There is a separate bar, lounge and games room, as well as a beer cooler room. The pub has a pot-belly stove as well as oil-fired central heating for extra cosiness.

As for the live-in accommodation, the standalone property measures 160 square meters and sits adjacent to a school.

The home has both oil and solid fuel heating, and has its own entrance separate from the pub and the shop. Two of the bedrooms are on the ground floor, and two are on the first floor, both of which have walk-in wardrobes.
