Features and description
“The Bank” is one of Wexford Town’s most distinctive and substantial period properties – commanding three storeys of remarkable scale, character and presence, positioned just moments from the Quayside. Extending to over 700 sq.m across three impressive floors, the house combines grand proportions, soaring ceiling heights and a layout designed for both hospitality and private accommodation, making it a rare offering in the heart of Wexford Town. Guests arrive through a warm, welcoming and impressive foyer that immediately signals the building’s heritage.
The first floor offers six generous en suite bedrooms, many with sea views, dual aspect windows, open fires for decorative use, and excellent proportions. Ceiling heights of 4.2m reinforce the grandeur of the accommodation, while each en suite is fully tiled and fitted with WC, whb, heated towel rail and enclosed shower. The second floor continues the impressive scale with a further seven en-suite bedrooms, again featuring sea views, decorative fires, built in wardrobes and excellent natural light. A wide landing and additional store room complete this level, with ceiling heights of 2.99m maintaining a comfortable sense of openness. Throughout the property, original architectural cues - including the arched brick corridor in the basement, substantial ceiling heights, and robust structural detailing - reinforce the sense of permanence and craftsmanship that shaped its banking origins. Over time, the building transitioned from a financial institution into one of Wexford’s most recognisable landmarks. Its inherent scale and top-class local workmanship and attention to detail and architectural rhythm made it an ideal foundation for a premium venue, allowing the building’s historic grandeur to remain the defining feature of the experience. With its scale, character and considerable potential it could lend itself beautifully to the creation of an exclusive boutique hotel, high-end guest house or a luxury accommodation destination.
A golden opportunity not to be missed to secure A landmark premises in A class of its own.
“The Bank Bar & Restaurant” is an established and distinctive space extending to over 850 sq.m across multiple levels. The restaurant occupies a substantial portion of the building and complements the adjoining premises together creating an exceptional property of scale, character and commercial versatility. Its interiors have been carefully shaped by the architectural legacy of the building, while its proximity to Wexford’s waterfront adds an important sense of place. The restaurant incorporates a series of distinctive bar & dining spaces, each retaining elements of the building’s original character: A statement main bar, finished in solid pitch and yellow pine with marble and timber counters, echoing the craftsmanship and material quality associated with the building’s banking origins. Multiple dining areas, including a formal private dining room with granite sills, providing an elegant setting for intimate gatherings, private functions and special occasions. A rear restaurant space with solid timber flooring and direct street access, offering views towards the surrounding town and the harbour beyond. A fully equipped commercial kitchen, finished in stainless steel and supported by extensive wine and keg storage, together with comprehensive guest and staff facilities. Upper-level storage areas and a rooftop terrace, providing open-air views across Wexford’s rooftops towards the water and offering further potential for maximum outdoor use, subject to the necessary consents. A characterful basement, featuring a distinctive red-brick arched corridor reminiscent of the building’s original vault construction and providing a striking connection to its banking heritage. There are several car parks directly adjacent and the Main Street is only a few steps away. Together, “The Bank” and “The Bank Bar & Restaurant” form a unique and substantial property offering, combining private accommodation, established space and significant architectural character in a prominent town-centre location. The relationship between the two elements provides considerable flexibility for an owner-occupier, operator or investor, with the potential to retain the existing arrangement or explore alternative configurations and possible uses, subject to planning and other necessary consents. The result is a venue where historic architecture, exceptional quality, and a prime town and harbour location come together seamlessly - a building of presence, permanence, and luxury, reimagined for modern hospitality.
