Built as a Steward' s House in the 1700' s and later turned into a Blacksmiths forge, a country shop and post office, this beautiful old granite building once derelict is now tastefully restored and extended to cater for up to 60 patrons across its three cosy dining rooms.

The forge has been a meeting place for locals and passers-by for over 100 years. The tradition continues today in its present form as a landmark country restaurant along N80 road between Ballon and Bunclody. Offered for sale as a going concern with the benefit of its growing clientele and turnover, an opportunity is presented to bring it to another level on its 1.5 acre garden site surrounding (option for extra land).
