It\u2019s an architectural wonderland. The attention to detail in every single element of the village front, the windows, the doors, the chimneys, is utterly remarkable. It\u2019s very much evidence of someone who has a phenomenal eye and brought world-class restoration to this project. It\u2019s a really unique Irish estate village. Everywhere you look, there is something new and unique to see. It\u2019s a masterpiece in its own right,\u201d Bryne said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The village also has two bars, a coffee shop, and a corporate event space that could easily be adapted for other uses, Byrne added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_84699\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-84699\" style=\"width: 1800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-84699 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/VillageatLyons_0015-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/VillageatLyons_0015-scaled.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/VillageatLyons_0015-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/VillageatLyons_0015-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/VillageatLyons_0015-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/VillageatLyons_0015-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-84699\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In addition to the 47 bedrooms, the village also has a chapel on the grounds.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the moment, the village is run as a hospitality destination.
