Crossmahon National School, Bandon, Co. Cork

Crossmahon National School dates to 1887, a five bay single storey former national school with a projected bay gable on its southern elevation and sits on a wonderful elevated site approached from the road with two separate attractive wrought iron gates and limestone capped pillar entrances for the former girls and boys attending the school. With a floor area of approximately 100 sq. m., the original building has two large classrooms internally and an entrance foyer. The building incorporates high ceiling heights, timber suspended floors, sash nine over nine windows, pitched slate roof with attractive red brick chimney gable and string course as well as cast iron rainwater goods and a limestone plaque inscribed “Crossmahon National School A.D 1887”. The school closed in 1983 and the property has been fastidiously maintained by its custodian since and is now offered for sale publicly for the first time as a most interesting and historic property on a beautiful site surrounded by regimental walls on all four sides. The property lends itself as an ideal residential conversion opportunity (subject to planning permission) and for those with the skillset and vision, the opportunities that such a beautiful property offers are virtually limitless. The site extends to approximately 0.27 of an acre, has a strong regular configuration and a beautiful natural south facing aspect. The property’s location is flawless with a perfect blend of a countryside setting and the convenience to Bandon town a mere 3km away. A very rare and unique opportunity to acquire such a property as Crossmahon national school now exists and viewings are openly invited and strictly by prior appointment. ___________________________________ Entrance Foyer 5.85m x 2.17m Access to two classrooms.
