IT might seem the idyllic way to spend your life — running a pub in Ireland and living next door. We’ve spotted five pubs with houses currently on the market.

If you go for the Fairways, you’ll not just be buying a family home, but a pub and award-winning restaurant as well. You’ll also be within a kilometre of Nenagh' s 18-hole championship golf course, hence the name.
ASKING PRICE: €750,000

Donegan's is a going concern (Image: Thomas Byrne Auctioneers & Valuers/thomasbyrne.ie)Donegan’s, Ardee Street, Collon, Co. Louth
Situated in the centre of the thriving village of Collon, fronting the busy N2 — the road that stretches from Dublin to Derry — this is a going concern, and given its position could well be made to go even better.
Downstairs is the business end of things: front bar, lounge, pool room, two toilets, store room. Upstairs is the living accommodation, which is in need of modernisation: sitting room, kitchen, three bedrooms and bathroom.

Quirkies Bar is a bit of a fixer-upper (Image: Cohalan Downing/cdacork.com)Quirkie's Bar, Pearse Square, Ballyphehane, Cork
This is a real fixer-upper. The accommodation upstairs requires refurbishment, and the licence for the bar downstairs has lapsed. Still, for €160,000, you could end up with a cracking home and a thriving business. The end-of-terrace property fronts the bustling Pearse Square.
ASKING PRICE: €160,000
