Description
The Old Schoolhouse is a former national school now converted to a residence which is located in a peaceful area of Kilmeena, just off the old Westport to Newport Road. The floor area measures approximately 113.1 sq m/1,217 sq ft. Ground floor accommodation comprises of an entrance hall with original tiled floor and Victorian stained-glass window, a large living room with double height ceiling, exposed original stone wall and a feature cast iron fireplace with a solid fuel stove. The kitchen/dining room has a timber ceiling with feature beams, exposed original stone backsplash and staircase to first floor. The Jack and Jill bathroom is also used in part as a utility space and is accessed off the main bedroom and hallway. The second bedroom is currently being used as a music/recording studio with patio doors to the gardens. On the first floor there is an art studio and an office, which could offer additional bedroom space with some minor works. Originally built circa 1880 and then rebuilt in the 1940s using the original stone, the property has been lovingly refurbished in more recent times into a charming unique cottage, whilst keeping some of the original character. Modernisation work carried out includes an extension to the rear, the fitting of double-glazed sash windows, new floors, insulation and a new roof. Garden Externally, the property sits on a mature site with parking to the front and a stone shed with dry fuel store to the side. The gardens extend around the property and the tree lined boundary offers extra privacy. Location Kilmeena is a lovely countryside area midway between Westport and Newport and the property is within an eight minute drive of both towns. Nearby amenities include Kilmeena National School, Kilmeena Church and the Great Western Greenway pedestrian and cycle path is directly accessed via a private entrance to the rear of the property.
