A rough diamond waiting to be polished to its full potential is the former Glenariff Inn in Waterfoot, along the stunning Causeway coastal road.

Daniel McAlister & Sons, Cushendall in conjunction with iamsold are offering for sale this former public house which sits on a spacious site in an area of outstanding natural beauty.

The building occupies a prominent site on the Main Street in Waterfoot village and backs on to a carpark which has direct access to the beautiful Waterfoot beach.

A fine development opportunity along the coast
The site was once approved for ten apartments, a cafe and a landscapes courtyard

The site was previously approved for ten apartments, cafe and landscaped courtyard for which planning permisson has now expired.

The site has excellent potential for residential, holiday home, hospitality or commercial use, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Given the scope for hospitality throughout Northern Ireland, particularly along the Causeway route which is widely regarded as one of the most stunning coastal areas in the world, this is a development opportunity worthy of serious consideration.

Waterfoot is a popular holiday and tourist village only one hour from Belfast city and with a bit of imagination and work this property and location would be a welcome addition to any investment portfolio

Patrick Convey, director of iamsold said: “This site offers investors or developers with a fantastic coastal opportunity with huge scope for a variety of uses.

“Waterfoot is a popular holiday and tourist village only one hour from Belfast city and with a bit of imagination and work this property and location would be a welcome addition to any investment portfolio.”

Just a couple of miles away is Cushendall, while Portrush can be reached in just over 50 minutes. Given the demand for holiday accommodation during the summer season along the north coast, and the Open Golf Championship’s impending return in future, this property could generate a lot of interest.
