Phil Flanagan is renovating an old building in the town's main street, which traded as stables for 25 years after being established in 1865.
Despite the building being in desperate need of repair, he could see its potential.
''It needed serious work in all of it.''
That included foundations, floors and the roof.
''So, that's been hundreds and hundreds of hours painting and replacing rotten boards of timber.''
He was now working on the inside of the building, making sure it was structurally sound before completing the outside.
The feedback he has received so far was ''positive''.
''Definitely positive comments around town. You can only but improve it, really,'' he said.
