Property Partners McDonnell alongside King Auctioneers are excited to bring to the market this rare Opportunity to Acquire a Landmark Mixed-Use Town Property which previously traded as Walsh’s Jewellery Shop on Oliver Plunkett Street here in Mullingar.
This substantial and character-filled mixed-use property offers an exceptional opportunity to combine commercial visibility with extensive residential accommodation in the heart of the town. Boasting a prominent double-fronted retail unit at street level together with a spacious five-bedroom residence overhead and to the rear, this impressive period building seamlessly blends original features with practical modern additions.
The ground floor retail space enjoys a prime main street position with double-door access and twin display windows, making it ideal for a variety of commercial uses. Fully fitted for jewellery display, the shop features recessed spotlighting, carpet flooring, a striking cast-iron open fireplace, security grills, and hardwood internal protection doors, creating a secure yet elegant trading environment.
Beyond the commercial unit lies a surprisingly expansive residential accommodation arranged over 2 levels. The welcoming entrance hallway with flagstone flooring and stained-glass door opens into a home rich in charm and character, where original fireplaces, sash windows, decorative coving, dado rails, chandeliers, and high ceilings are retained throughout.
The main reception rooms are generously proportioned and filled with natural light. The elegant dining room overlooks the private rear gardens and features a mahogany fireplace with cast-iron inset, while the spacious first-floor sitting room boasts impressive ceiling height, marble fireplace, PVC tilt & turn windows, and period detailing throughout.
The property provides five spacious bedrooms across the upper floors, including a master ensuite bedroom and additional shower and bathroom facilities, making it ideal for large family living, guest accommodation, or potential professional use subject to planning permission.
To the rear, a substantial kitchen/dining extension provides a bright and practical family hub. Extended in 2005, this impressive room features extensive solid wood fitted units, Velux roof lights, large windows, breakfast counter, integrated appliances, and an oil-fired Stanley range cooker.
Externally, the property continues to impress with a large private walled yard and garden area enclosed by original high cut-stone walls. Mature shrubbery, gated access, and a feature outdoor brick table constructed using original stonework create a secluded and highly private outdoor setting rarely found in town-centre properties and with ample onsite parking.

HISTORY
Walsh Jewellers was a long-established family business and a cherished part of Mullingar’s commercial and social history. Located at No.14 Oliver Plunkett Street, the shop served generations of customers and became synonymous with quality, trust, and exceptional personal service.
Founded in the early 20th century, with roots stretching back over 100 years, Walsh Jewellers earned a reputation for craftsmanship and professionalism. Passed through generations of the Walsh family, the business played a special role in marking life’s most important occasions, from engagements and weddings to birthdays and family celebrations.
The jewellers specialized in fine gold, sterling silver, pearl jewellery, and quality watches, with a strong emphasis on Irish-made pieces and local craftsmanship. Walsh Jewellers was also renowned as the exclusive retailer of the “History of Mullingar Jewellery Collection,” a distinctive range inspired by the town’s heritage, landmarks, and culture.
Customers returned time and again not only for the quality of the products, but for the warm and knowledgeable service provided by the family and staff. Whether selecting a special gift or commissioning a bespoke design, clients experienced a level of care unique to a traditional family-run business.
Although the doors eventually closed after more than a century in business, Walsh Jewellers remains fondly remembered as a respected local institution and an enduring symbol of Mullingar’s heritage, community spirit, and family enterprise.
