Old Schoolhouse out west
This little beauty adjoins Europe’s largest inland salt water lake, Lough Ine, and is set in a nature reserve in one of the loveliest and most accessible areas of West Cork.
The four to five-bed house is on the market with Pat Maguire of Pat Maguire properties, for €270,000 (and cash buyers could probably take a scelp off that), and is two miles to Baltimore and a short spin to Skibbereen. Dating from the 1900s, the two-storey house stands on three-quarters of an acre of gardens and comes with a large lock-up garage.
Fully renovated, though not disturbingly so, the house has a big, open plan living area of 5.70m by 5.6m, including the main staircase and a stone firebreast with solid fuel stove.
The kitchen/dining room is sweet and clean, if not totally modern, and the rest of the ground floor includes a guest bathroom and two bedrooms, while overhead, there are three more bedrooms, all with built-ins and a main bathroom. The Old Schoolhouse is a move-in proposition in the heart of West Cork.
