Prime Investment & Development Opportunity: Ardabrone Stores & Residential Site
Dromard, Co. Sligo – On the Wild Atlantic Way
A rare and versatile commercial and residential opportunity situated in the heart of West Sligo. Ardabrone Stores is a landmark property that offers immediate rental income through the currently leased shop, extensive functional outbuildings, and the unique potential to build a substantial private residence on-site.
1. The Commercial Premises
The property features a well-established retail unit currently leased to a thriving XL-branded convenience store.
Ready for the Future: The building has been recently rewired, ensuring modern safety standards and reducing future capital expenditure.
Internal Layout: The shop includes a large shop floor, dedicated private office and internal stock storage, ideal for efficient management.
Strategic Location: Situated directly on the Wild Atlantic Way, the shop benefits from a large local custom for groceries, hardware, animal feed and fuel as well as a high-volume seasonal tourist trade and is a primary stop-off point for visitors to the nearby Dunmoran Strand and the iconic Beach Bar.
2. Extensive Outbuildings & Infrastructure
Beyond the retail space, the property offers a substantial footprint of functional buildings, providing massive potential for expansion or storage:
Large Meal Store: Suited for agricultural or bulk retail storage.
General Purpose Stores: Multiple outbuildings offering flexibility for various commercial uses.
The Forecourt: Essential roadside infrastructure serving the local Dromard community.
3. Residential Development Potential
A standout feature of this sale is the Full Planning Permission for a large, two-storey detached residence located on the site, adjacent to the shop.
The Vision: This offers a unique "live-work" opportunity. A future owner could choose to build their dream home and, upon the expiration of the current lease, take over the operation of the store to live and work on-site.
Investment Highlights
Immediate Income: Sold with the benefit of an established sitting tenant (Business unaffected). Strong rental yield.
Lifestyle Location: Moments from the coast in a scenic, highly-regarded residential area.
Future Proofed: Between the recent rewiring and the residential planning, the heavy lifting has already been done.
This is a "legacy property" that offers much more than a simple investment yield. Whether you are a pure investor or someone looking to secure a future home and business on the Sligo coast, Ardabrone Stores is a blue-chip opportunity.
Note: This sale pertains to the Freehold Interest of the land, buildings, and planning permission. The business operation remains with the current tenant.
