Trading up: Drimoleague, West Cork €245,000
A couple of miles from Drimoleague, or a handy-enough drive to major towns like Skibbereen and Bantry for those who want to see the sea in this scenic coastal county area.
A former schoolhouse, this Clodagh house served as the local education centre up until the 1960s, and more recently was converted, and significantly upgraded to become a quite sizeable four-five bed family home, with space for hobbyists or after-school activities too.
Newly-listed with Michéal Duggan of Sherry FitzGerald O’Neill in Skibbereen for its relocating owner, there’s over 1,800 sq ft of quality and quirky space here, with mezzanine overlooking the 25’ by 15’ living dining room, and quite a bit of overhead accommodation, able to link to its sloping back garden on two levels thanks to a decking/bridge connection.
That decking ties in to the first floor sun-room, which has unusual tall Veluxes on its sloping mansard-type slated roof.
The former Clodagh Schoolhouse is on 0.9 of an acre, and comes with an 800 sq ft workshop with roller shutter doors, and three-phase power for those needing an extra power kick to run heavy motors, compressors or machinery.
Plus, there’s a garage capable of taking up to four cars, so there’s a chance to run a home business, or hobby work here: wood-working or metal work after-school grinds perhaps?
