This shop and former filling station also has a four-bedroom family home attached – extending to 186sq m (2,000sq ft) in total – and the subterranean fuel tanks are in situ should new owners wish to reopen the filling station. One of the benefits of the location is the 600,000 annual passengers from the Killimer to Tarbert ferry which lies directly across the road, giving the location a guaranteed passing trade. This number is rising annually with the growing popularity of the Wild Atlantic Way.
